"It cracks me up a little when the media recognizes “mentors” that Anthony Edwards has played with and they omit D’Angelo Russell from that conversation."

Was just going you type that. Haha

That's not a healthy minded individual

Just like I can't turn away from a car wreck, I can't help checking in on Camden's X posts. As a former psychology major (and damn proud of my 2.3 GPA...hey, it was the 70s, and I was "ahem" busy with other adventures), I find him a fascinating psychological study. He's clearly a bright young man, but as Cool says, not healthy minded. There are no shades of gray with this guy...only blind certainty. There is no moderation in him...he either has a mad man crush on an athlete (DLO, Justin Hebert), or absolute disdain (Rubio, Conley). And the extraordinary level of misogyny in his posts is a little alarming. His posts leave me both entertained and worried.

Good job on the grades, Kek...when we blow out a team our guys deserve a bunch of high grades. I agree that only Conley deserves a poor grade of our 8. And I would actually upgrade Randle to at least a B...tough to criticize a 22-6-4 and a +15.

And even though his box score isn't very good, Jaden's incredible defense on Simons earned him his B+. Simons had only 14 points, and I think most of those were when Jaden was not guarding him. He was vintage defensive Jaden tonight.

And speaking of defense, I thought Ant had his best defensive game of the year. I think his defensive indifference is one of the main reasons we have struggled on the perimeter this season. But right from the start he was locked in last night. Yes, Portland is not good, and we need to win the two games next week too. But our defense made them worse than they normally are tonight, and Ant had a lot to do with that.

And what an offensive game he had. My honey and I are finding this Wolves team quite entertaining, and we're trying to watch every game live (or slightly delayed). And last night we just looked at each other speechless as he continued his 3-point heater...he has turned into an incredible offensive force. Unconscious 3-point shooting, deft moves to the basket, and an improving passing chemistry with Rudy. But we need this kind of effort from him every night. There's a reason his net rating only exceeds Jaden and (surprisingly) Donte of the main 8 on the team, and I think it's because of his spotty defense. I really think this team can be special if Ant puts in the effort he put in tonight. This is his team, and he is going to set the mood every night. He's our key.
