  1. This Twolves season is a car wreck in slow motion. I shouldn't stare yet I cannot look away.
  2. It's the same story as the last couple seasons - the missing 2-way wing with size. That could be the Cavs undoing in the playoffs vs the Celtics and/or the Knicks (part of the reason I'm so salty about the KAT trade is it elevated the Knicks to legit title contenders). I'm also still traumatized from the 2023 playoffs when the Knicks obliterated the Cavs, who just looked so...soft. And will the size of, say, the Magic or Bucks or Hawks bother the short backcourt? But 30-4 is 30-4 and history says that about half the teams that start this well win the title. Atkinson has been money all season and should win CoY unless there's a complete collapse. We may have a better sense of how the Cavs can handle playoff atmosphere after Jan 8 (vs OKC on ESPN) and Jan 16 (at OKC on TNT). Can't wait.
  3. You know that Shams wrote this with a big grin on his face.
  4. This is very on brand for Pat Riley.
  5. Couple things - 1) If only Minnesota had a 1b option that they didn't trade away for peanuts a few months ago. 2) Love his talent, but Ant is immature as hell and is just telling his opponents how to frustrate and stop him.
  6. OKC's defense is something else. But they have a tough stretch starting tonight vs the Knicks, then Boston, then at Cleveland, then at Knicks.
  7. Jordan Poole in the top 10 voting for guards demonstrates the idiocy of the average NBA fan. Allen not in top ten and Mobley behind Banchero and Embiid because of course.
  8. And their draft pick situation the rest of the decade is pretty fucking dire. Dan Gilbert right now:
  9. Hughes came to the team a few years after Lebron and was the big FA signing during the first Lebron years. *facepalm* The Cavs had pursued Ray Allen and Michael Redd (either would have been great fits next Lebron) but they said no thanks so Hughes was the (shitty) consolation prize who couldn't shoot and consistently mucked up the lane for Lebron. I could (and have) written much more about the 03-10 Cavs but the Hughes signing is a good microcosm.
  10. The Wiseman pick was the beginning of the end. That and age; Father Time seems to be creeping up faster on Curry than on Lebron.
  11. Smush Parker, Benedict Boozer, Darius Miles...good times.
  12. 7th straight win, all by double digits. Will be tough to get the 8th in a row tomorrow on the 2nd night of a back to back at Lebron. Meanwhile, Golden State has now lost 13 of their last 17. Their pieces just not meshing well at all.
  13. Spanked Denver tonight. Now 27-4. And Mobley is taking the leap. Shooting over 40% from 3 for the season.
  14. I'm sure Riles is going to want a Gobert/Mitchell/Harden/PG type haul but I can't see any team giving that kind of loot for a 35 year old.
  15. Wemby flopping like a seasoned vet. Impressive. This is right up there with that Marcus Smart flop of a few years ago.
  16. I feel like we haven't made fun of the Pelicans enough. At the time of the AD trade, what they got was unprecedented and here's what they got: Brandon Ingram (FA in 2025 and has missed 20-40 games each year in NOLA) Lonzo Ball (shipped to Chicago for spare parts) Josh Hart (shipped to Portland along with a 2022 protected first for CJ and Nance Jr) Three firsts (they used those picks or assets from those picks on Jaxson Hayes, NAW, Herb Jones, and Dyson Daniels - Daniels is the best of those players and they shipped him and other assets to ATL for Dejounte Murray) Lakers 2025 first (they chose NOT to use the Lakers pick in 2024, electing to move to 2025, and the Lakers selected Dalton Knecht - oops) So we're about the end of all this and the Pelicans are currently 5-25 and are just about bereft of any young talent. Oh yeah and then there's this guy.
  17. Julius Randle is being torched mercilessly on Wolves social media. Why the hate over the past 24 hours? Well...
  18. Just eliminate the 3 point line entirely. Yeah I said it Come at me bro.
