Unfortunately, but not surprisingly, the Thunder, Pelicans and Spurs all won. The the more important that we beat the Wizards tonight. Let's hope the Lakers can hold on and beat the Nuggets.

Speaking of the Lakers, Kuzma has 27 points and 10 rebounds. If only the Wolves could get a gem late in the 1st round or even the 2nd.

Well it's nice to have the opportunities with picks.

Randle the guy that was supposed to just be a nice bench player put up 26-13. Sometimes young guys can get better.

I really though the Lakers were gonna win this one after that game a few days ago got chippy. Lakers are a decent team and didn't need something else to play for.

Randle was the No. 7 overall pick and a highly-touted high school and freshman in college. He dominated both levels. People, such as myself, saw the All-Star potential. Also thought he had been misplayed a couple seasons in LAL. Should have never been treated as a bench player. More importantly, he's had tangible improvement every year in the league. His past suggests he'll get better and so he has. If there's a history, sure, young players can get better. If they are the same player as when they entered the league (Wiggins), then I'm not nearly confident enough to make that claim.

Cam did you see the Dean Oliver tweet I posted about Randle the a couple days ago?

The Lakers are giving the Warriors a bottle tonight. The Warriors are playing tonight without Curry, Thompson, and Green tonight, but they have Iggy back. So they're a pretty ordinary team tonight. Thompson has a broken thumb and it appears that Curry won't be back soon. Green has a sore shoulder, but should be back for their next game. So it looks like the Warriors will be ordinary for a while. That's unfortunate because it gives key teams the Wolves are competing against for playoff position the chance to win games against GS that would have otherwise been almost sure losses.

Can Lebron just finally admit he's bald? I'd respect him a lot more if he did.

Rubio pissing off teams all over the league. Chriss and Dudley overreacted but you don't hop over a man who's down after being undercut.

My friend sent me a Video of what happened and I joked with him that Rubio flopped twice. Lol it's weird and funny Rubio has been the target a couple times lately of stuff.

I didn't see anything he did wrong. There was no foul or anything. And he hopped over his ankle? Chriss is such the worst kind of NBA player. Ten cent brain that's ruining all that potential talent.

I get Dudley trying to set the tone for the younger guys. That's literally his job. But I'm pretty sure Chriss doesn't even realize why he's upset. He's an idiot. I can't stress that enough. He's a worthless NBA player.
