Yikes, habitual line stepping finally caught up to him. Severely.

I think Flagg gonna be somewhere between PJ Washington and Bam once he's established in the league.

I don't see him being an elite wing player.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Next Michael Jordan
4x DPOY
Sixth man of the year
Most charitable player
NAW & Order
Mike Conley

Are they a super team?

Most durable and tough minded coach in the world- working with a torn acl or whatever he has

Athletic, long arms should be a great defender but isn't exceptional off the bounce or as a shooter.

I feel the same.

I had Wolves 2 but I may make them #3

Nuggets have no excuses even down 0-2 still

Pardon my technicality. But why are we labelling no excuses this late in the game? Wolves have exceeded expectations in every way this year so everything they are currently doing is an absolute win.

No one expected them to be this good. So I don't really understand the logic behind the no excuse list.

 

[Moheezy]

excellent branding, still i think you are always going to have limitations with making an international big the face of any sneaker line.

Ant Edwards still the best bet for driving future sneaker sales imo.

A big in general is tough let alone an international big who plays like no one has played before.

Correct me if I am wrong, but Giannis is the exception? I think his shoes are doing fairly well?

Yeah YALL made fun of Baguette Biyombo & Voice Changing Kitten all year long. Can’t put them on the list now just because it’s all clicking.

Let me answer your question with another question -

when has logic been the driving factor for the narratives we like to push in this thread?

Every time I make a post I use logic, reason and objectivity.

It all clicking for them is exactly why they can go to the top of the list.

With everything they’ve accomplished, no excuses for not finishing the job now.

Correction: I’ve been saying they’re near the top if not number 1 from the jump

I don't make the rules

Been a big fan of KAT, but I didn't believe in Dijondre Jeaurdan or MJ Jr.

But they're on the no excuses list, right behind Boston. and Denver That's just how it is.

Looking forward to him claiming he was blackballed out of the league in a few years.

Can’t wait for YALL to say the Wolves were always a superteam when they’re going for a 3Peat two years from now!

 

[toneboi76]

Suspend him forever. We don’t care. He and Jae Crowder aren’t NBA level anymore

 

[WASHED KING]

What did the fans say to Pat?

I have to know before I can pass judgement.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Eric Pincus is legitimately batting 0.0000. Nothing he says EVER happens. I've been keeping track

 

[HIM]

These were the official No Excuse Power Rankings (NEPR) all the way back in January:

Things changed since then.

-iCannotHoopTho decided he didn't want to play basketball anymore
-KP's injured
-Kawhi also decided he was done with basketball
-Embiid's face is literally paralyzed and his knee is done
-Knicks just lost Kawhi Jr last night
-Jimmy also decided he wanted to start vacation early

So now we're left with:

1. Minny
2. OKC
3. Denver
4. Dallas
5. Boston
6. Knicks
7. Cleveland
8. Pacers

Tossing a basketball at a fan as a souvenir = 4 game suspension

Throwing 2 heat pads at an official to try to injure him and accusing the refs of being bribed = fine

Jokic has no HALP though.

Reminds me of how you can just know that the WNBA is about to explode because the online discourse is starting to resemble basketball twitter
