There were nine games played in the NBA today. The winning team in 8 of those 9 games scored at least 119 points. The Wolves scored only 105 even though they got 53 points from Edwards. You’re not going to win many NBA games scoring less than 110 points and typically winning teams score more than that. The Wolves are one of the worst offensive teams in an offense-oriented League. Is it any wonder the Wolves are a .500 team likely headed for a lottery finish or a one-and-done playoff experience?

I remember reading about the homer OKC announcers last week. I've watched about 4 minutes of this OKC v. Boston game on NBATV.

They're atrocious. Worse than I thought. They're insufferable.

I couldn't listen to them, even if I was a Thunder fan. We're so lucky to have Jim Pete and Grady. Yes, they have bias. But this type of bias in OKC ruins the experience.

It's insulting to the audience when every call for your team is a good one and every call against them is a bad call.

Detroit won again! That's a twofer....1) A Minnesota Moral Victory since it makes us feel better about losing to a team that has now won 7 of 8, and 2) it gives us hope that their eventual pick won't be protected!

Yet another reason we should not have made the Gobert deal!

Ha, the first compelling argument I have heard dissing the Rudy trade!

She is planning to become a nurse anesthetist. Well, if that's true she isn't planning to sit around and enjoy the spotlight.

Detroit wins again! Damn, they are actually a pretty good team now. That's 8 out of 9.

Oh, and Cleveland takes down OKC. Didn't watch it, but it looks like it was a good game. Nice to see ESPN feature a game without LeBron or Steph plastered all over their headlines and highlights.

Well, those guys weren’t playing tonight…. Of course, they could have opted for the Knicks, so yes, they chose a good game to broadcast.

The Knicks aren't even broadcast locally at the moment. One of the big cable carriers (the one Dolan used to own) broke off talks with them and haven't been on their service so far this year.
