Only been five games, but since KAT returned the T'Wolves are a top 10 defense team (ninth).

Unfortunately they've been 27th in offense. The only teams below them are the Hornets, Spurs and Blazers.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

You missing out on some good ball. They really be hooping.

I'm watching the highlights, yeah I slept.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Kyrie-Mavs trade is similar to the Westbrook-Lakers trade in that sending out the role players just kills your depth and team identity. It really isn't on Kyrie the player.

That Russ deal was on Russ the player though.

Don't get me wrong, he was garbage.

But losing Kuz, KCP was probably as harmful, if not more.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Pelinka really wasted a year of Bron by making that Westbrook trade.

Bron wasted a year of himself. Him and AD had a sit down with Russ and got it in motion. That's my dawg but he had a big hand in that.

Dunkin on Jakob Poetl, Gobert, and Watanabe is like a right of passage.

Dubs and Lakers should be top favorites to come out of the west IMO

Would love to see Steph tie Bron & Kobe but if you look at the other teams in recent history that flipped a switch & got rolling (01 Lakers, ‘10 Cs, ‘11 Mavs) all of those teams were significantly above .500.

That certainly isn’t a prerequisite but looking at this current Warrior group we have 39 games of poor defense on the road, a lot of those with Wiggins, Dray & Looney all playing. It hasn’t mattered who was playing all season. It’s really inexplicable.

Coming out of the west would require them to win at least 1, more likely 2 road games in 3 straight series. After losing THIRTY road games in the regular season? Their best wing defender hasn’t played in months & isn’t in playoff shape?

I think it’s impossible, but that’s why we play the games

 

[king j]

Any tanking on the horizon to avoid playing them as the 5th seed?

Now do his record in playoff games

Yeah but they was so bad in that Suns series everybody panicked.

Kuz shot 29FG% 17% from 3. KCP shot 38FG% 21% from 3.

Tie Bron ?

Pelinka ultimately has to pull the trigger. Unless he's big time beta and Bron forges his signature.

Last 15 seconds.

If that's how you wanna put it. The players run the league. Just like Bron got AD to LA. Kawhi got PG to the Clippers. The KD and Kyrie mess in Brooklyn. All the way back to the big 3 in Miami.

#5 otwwwww

 

[elpablo21]

The urkle guy? He was the biggest Kobe stan/Lakers fan but he turned in his LAL fan card in 2018 because he despises LeBron. Now he's the ringleader of Warriors twitter.

He said Wiggins was coming back a few days after he first left the team and now he's a prophet

These dudes are wild lmao

Of course they do. That doesn't absolve the GM from seeing an obvious terrible move like the Brick one and putting their foot down. Somebody gotta fall on the sword and it damn sure isn't gonna be Bron. So Pelinka it is.
