The last few minutes of most hockey games is the best part. The last few minutes of basketball games tends to be the worst part.
Walker has been one of their most consistent players this year—is leading the team in plus/minus by a fair margin—and mathematically—the Wolves best lineups tend to feature him. The Wolves will be okay once they get back to their identity. The Wolves were great last year because they were a punishing team. You had big guys like KAT and Gobert coupled with an athletic and explosive freak like ANT that loved attacking the basket with a vigor. When they traded KAT away and got Randle and Donte—-the key was that Randle and Gobert needed to play their parts in getting to the basket—and Ant still needed to use his explosiveness to get to the hoop, catch Gobert on a lob, or pass it out to guys that can hit open 3’s like Donte, Naw, Ingles, or Mcdaniels. One of the issues with the Wolves its hat Ant is shooting and hitting more 3’s. While this might look good on paper—I think it’s bad for the identity and the dynamic of the team. If Ant is going to effectively make himself more of a perimeter player—it transforms the Wolves from being a punishing team into a perimeter team—which is not the best recipe for their success. I think they are a talented team and I do think that they can figure things out. The link below is about NAW and some of his/team metrics when he’s on the court. He’s A LOT better than what a lot of people in here give him credit for.
Most Magic thing ever.
I don't think it would.Amen
Best on ball defender in the game right now IMO. Guy's a future star on an absolutely loaded team. He'd be a walking triple double in other situations. If he continues to improve his mid-range & outside, he's going to be a superstar. One of my favorite players to watch play in the league. Straight dawg that is a championship level player you want on your team. Scottie Pippen's kid actually plays in Houston...
If I'm trying to rebuild and unload a current superstar, Amen is at the top of guys I'd want to build a package with to start a rebuild. I'm actually hoping the Suns would/will explore it as they're going nowhere now as constructed. If I'm the Rockets, no shot in hell I'd deal him. Would easily be the dumbest trade involving a "6th man" since James Harden
Yeah, I don't think Sengoat or Amen will be part of any trade. I've been hearing a lot of rumors about De'Aaron Fox lately. I'd imagine some combo of Jalen and/or Jabari plus most of those PHX picks would get it done.
Can they shoot below 20% from 3? I believe
I think they need to lose by 37 or more for Boston to pass them up.
The lead was 36 at one point.
The problem is they only have like 7 NBA players, Brown inexplicably doesn’t start Ellis, and Keegan has been awful offensively. They’ve been real bad for the last ten games or so and I’m not ruling out that they’ll blow everything up this year. I love Fox and he’s been awesome but I could see an argument for selling high on him if they aren’t in the playoff race.I don't think it would.Amen

Tonight should be a good one. Will be my first time seeing the Kings this year. Really thought they'd be better with Derozan but probably just figuring things out. If they don't, always a good time to abandon ship and trade Fox for Van Vleet imo.
This seems cheaty to know. The final day should have every game starting at the same time, 15 games going at once!
SA making a comeback. If they win, Dallas would need to win by at least 4 points to pass up OKC for the wildcard.
Looks like OKC wins their group and Dallas gets the wildcard with a big comeback. Seeding pending the Hou and GS games.
Wow, some crazy finishes turned things into a close final seeding in the west. Here’s what I have.
I must have something wrong. Seeing some people saying OKC #1 seed and Hou #2. I’ll have to check my math in the morning.
I haven't watched it yet, but the Rockets melted down. Udoka will get fined at minimum for losing his mind and Eason may get disciplined for trying to go into the crowd.
Yeah I found my issue. Fat fingered one of the scores on my spreadsheet.
I figured out why my math was off - this was driving me crazy because all the scores were matching up.
who do we think are the refs most hated current current current current players both draymond and luka have to be way up at the top of the list chris paul is probably on the mount rushmore who else take that to the bank brohans
I knew that they made this change, but still not totally sure why. I thought they wanted to discourage pointlessly running up the score, but does much of that happen in OT? I think someone had proposed using only the first 3 quarters score, though that seems a little extreme.
I think it’s because points for is the next tiebreaker after differential.
Here is where I would use the laugh reaction to laugh at someone, not the joke they made LOL
I agree that it sucks the Heat scored so much on the Lakers tonight.
Whatever turns you on man.
That's ok. Nobody asked you to come post here though. Not sure what joy anyone gets from ****ting on something in a group where they obviously like it.
I mean you don’t have to like the nba of course but the college game is god awful propped up by a tremendously awesome two week tournament.
Men’s college basketball is the worst. The women’s game has more continuity and star power.
The excitement of March Madness is unreal….I do agree the quality of the play is nothing like the NBA….but it’s wild.
Oh man piss off…..now yer being a doosh.
