Now Castle is out for a couple weeks. Hopefully the Spurs start to fall off a bit without two of their key guys.
Man, SGA and Jokic just never miss much time, kind of like Ant. Staying healthy and playing 70+ games per season is just such a major advantage.

Golden State loses to Orlando. That's helpful!
As long as we are looking in the rear view mirror, the Suns have been playing pretty darn well lately and are right on the Wolves heels. That makes the game at the Suns in two nights fairly impactful as far as playoff standings go.
Just don't look past the Wizards tonight!

I'm looking past the Wizards tonight...they are terrible!
But yeah, Phoenix is a different story. Many of us thought we'd be favored in all these November games leading up to OkC, but the Suns are playing really well and will likely be favored Friday. We're going to need to bring our A game Friday.

I don't know much about their play but the Sun have played far and away the easiest schedule in the association

Lamelo is open to a trade. He is an interesting idea. He’s got talent the question is does a change of culture teach him to play winning basketball

Sabonis out for a few weeks with a meniscus tear. That will help on our 2nd game of the road trip.

Are you replacing Donte in the starting lineup with Lamelo?

Man, I don't see the fit. It's so funny because his brother Lonzo Ball circa 2019-2022 (before his injury) is damn near the ideal archetype of PG you'd want next to Ant and Julius. Great defender and rebounder, not flashy, pass-first mentality, takes good shots, etc...

I get a lot of things wrong, but me thinking John Collins would be a good addition to the Wolves is a whopper!
There were a lot of pundits that thought the Clippers were a deep team and would near the top of the West. Whoops!

Lip's guy from back in the day! Collins is one of those players that peaked early in his career and then fell off a bit and never became really good at any one thing....just sort of a blah player that was good enough to start and fill in a decent box score, but didn't drive much winning. He's not even that old, yet his play continues to deteriorate.
