I wish I watched more college ball but I don't even get around to watching all the Wolves games which I am more invested in. The other thing is that it's become apparent to me that there really is opportunities up and down the draft board to get talent. Connelly isn't just gonna hang out and pick a...

So here is an interesting observation that's kind of snuck up on us this season. After the KAT trade, most of us viewed this season as being "ANT 1.5", on our way to "ANT 2.0" once Randle was flipped for something and Conley was replaced. But take a look at what's happened leadi...

They could squash most of the theories if it was transparent. They use to have ping pong balls supposedly live, which was better. There are ways to rig that, prefilm it, have the machines somehow rigged. Etc.. Anytime something is completely secret, how can anyone trust the process? It's just too e...

Quote from ESPN report on last night’s lottery: Sources told ESPN that Patrick Dumont, who just finished his first year as the Mavs' governor, considers the opportunity to be in position to draft a generational talent such as Flagg a "gift." While Dumont has given Harrison great leeway to...

Makes sense now why there wasn't much of a bidding war for Luka. Yep. I could comfortably attribute the Luka deal to a dumb Dallas GM being snookered by his old buddy Rob Pelinka. But I can’t credibly attribute Dallas getting the#1 pick to coincidence. Was Cleveland getting the top pick to pick hom...

I'm going to channel my inner Kek and say they found a way. BUT, this is without Curry...and Draymond fouled out and we barely won. This is not a championship team. I hope they find their way soon. I will say they are playing an elite defensive team. It’s ugly but don’t write them off as a potentia...

As I said in my initial post: “If we advance past the 2nd round, I’ll be all-in on bringing almost everyone back for another run next season assuming we can squeeze under the 2nd apron.” Tonight’s loss has convinced me we won’t advance past the second round. Hope I’m wrong but if this goes the way I...

Two great Monday night games. The Knicks came back from 20 points down in the 3rd quarter. The Knicks were tremendous defensively in the second half. There’s a reason the Celtics missed so many threes. Yes, they missed some good looks but they weren’t getting many good looks. Towns was largely invis...

We’ve advanced to the 2nd round and have a team that seems to have the talent and coaching to make it to the NBA finals and possibly win a championship. I didn’t think this group would work but TC and Finch had a vision and once again it looks like they were right. There were some flaws in this rost...
