What a bitch Pat Bev is. Seems like a fake tough guy.

Devin Booker what a stud and CP3 is outright amazing. Why couldn't the Wolves have traded for Booker instead of KAT's other friend?

I wonder if we saw Kawhai's last game as a Clipper.

No kidding! He was a punk yesterday when he mocked Chris Paul after CP3 went down hard after Beverley undercut him. But he was outright pathetic tonight pushing Chris Paul from behind. I little twerp.

Ha, I heard it and kind of got a kick out of it! As much as Chris Paul annoys me on the court, I always enjoy him off the court, and last night was no different. The light-skinned thing was funny. Booker is oddly colored though, especially for a guy with an African-American dad and a Mexican/PR mom...somehow he ended up lighter even than his mom! The guy can really play though, can't he?

There's an article from 2 years ago that ranked Beverley as the number one jerk in the NBA. Unfortunately, KAT ranked 20th, DLO 8th, and Ben Simmons 3rd!

Beverly is actually a real tough player but also loses himself. That push from behind was about as bad as it gets without actually trying to really hurt someone. I hope he gets suspended for games to start next season.

I didn't end up watching this whole series but seeing him play made me wish Okogie had an even passable 3 point shot because having a guy like Beverly you can through out there at times (Okogie isn't as good of defender and doesn't play with the reckless edge either) to just actually make things difficult and add energy to the team.

Vando, when coming off the bench, definitely brings an energy and peskiness to the table. When he starts it's a bit less evident.

Good point bringing up Vanderbilt. Vando brings the energy but he isn't strong enough yet to really impose on guys. Okogie is strong enough to do that. Guys like Beverly Marcus Smart and to be honest even Chris Paul are strong enough to manhandle guys to some extent. Vanderbilt certainly looks stronger than he did a couple years ago and he doesn't need to get massive or anything but it would help if he did get stronger or just have the technique needed. It seemed he made legit strides this year as a basketball player. If he can continue that he could be a pretty nice defensive player and even if he never becomes a guy that can start or play 30 mins a night he could become pretty valuable. One thing the Wolves have lacked for the stretch of mostly being bad was guys that actually put forth legit effort and had some talent doing it. What Vanderbilt does have going for him is he does have quite a bit of length. I do believe Vanderbilt does still have legit potential to grow as this last season was his real first season of actually playing and contributing to an NBA team and really hardly played much high level basketball since graduating HS. The only issue is...his upside offensively is pretty limited.
