    he's playing 40min a night having to run to get open and isoing almost exclusively on offense. most other teams hide their primary guy on defense to let them do this and they don't play 40min/game. there's a reason that the Thunder have one of the best defenses in the league (from a historic...

    i think he was excited one time last year when we swept UMD. it will be exciting to see him possibly rapture the year we finally win a natty again

    that giannis trade sounds terrible. The KD one I like as it moves you back into contract flexibility, KD spaces the floor, and can get his own still despite his age (and we can rest/protect him through the year to let him be healthy/fresh for postseason). Would need to find a big though. Fox...

    POTENTIAL SPOILERS - The Last of Us Discussion

    watched the first season but understood the premise from the video game (and am still pissed that playstation will not release this onto xbox). thought it was fine. Haven't gotten to season 2 as felt pretty meh about season one after watching it. The comments by people on how Ellie looks are...

    GS is cap strung because of curry/draymond/jimmy and are not going to add another 35 year old making that dollar amount. Boston is going to have to let Porzingas walk because they can't afford him. LA could have space with Lebron retiring eventually. Rudy may pair ok with Doncic, but the...

    no one is going to want rudy on a 36.5mil AAV with a 7.5% trade bonus that makes it 40mil that he can opt into for 3 total years. maybe that very final year you can move him but you're not going to gain much there for draft capital as it'll be pretty obvious what you're doing

    top flight guys if they're going to come (McKenna, Bear, Lakovic, etc). But you also have the pool of guys who are going to exhaust their junior years and be looking to keep going, who may not want to (or be able to) play ECHL. You won't see this in the B10 as much as we don't take as many of...

    Guard: you need another effective lead guard. Mike will be back next year for his last year, but you otherwise need to break in TSJ, Clark and Dilly more or move on there. Mike should be coming off the bench to provide calming presence in your non-Ant minutes where needed. Would prioritize Dilly...

    summary? and does it actually seem like he has any idea or just speculating? no desire to listen to the fan as its way too much filler with crap and a lot of waiting to get the good nuggets while I'm at work

    The U has a pretty good track record of developing players and the Wild have been on record they were very happy with how Faber developed here and other GMs/aGMs have been happy with keeping their guys here for extra seasons (Lacombe, Snuggerud are 2 other recent ones that come to mind). As far...

    On Ritchie (Wild 2nd rounder), it would certainly be nice if our local team would sack up and push a guy to play locally where they can watch his growth and development like they do out east. Ivankovic we don't want because he's only 6ft tall ;) He was a beast at the WJC though. Toronto...

    hopefully. hearing a lot of rumblings from up in my neck of the woods (218/701 area code) about it. WHL priority draft this year had 19 Minnesotans taken this year versus 10 last year (and 9 the year prior). Shit you go back 15 years or so and it was rare any kids were looking elsewhere and now...

    i just don't see any way restricting athletes coming in would work unless they're going to shut down visas all over (which would be a very bad look) or try to flip the court ruling that's been pretty explicit now that you can't deny them coming in just because they've gotten paid elsewhere as an...

    It’s going to make some parts of college hockey get older which to me is horrible for the game. I don’t need to see 22-24 year olds grinding clutching and grabbing their way through a postseason. This is where hockey has generally gone in a bad direction at the ncaa level is more almost everyone...

    How would you grade the Timberwolves 2024-25 season?

    Somewhere between a B and B-. Huge trade right prior to season after staying relatively pat on a WCF team. Knew it would take time to gel but they were too bipolar all year. Winning two postseason series is still a heck of an accomplishment. Tough part is you have the pieces to be the 2 in the...

    They should only as a sign and trade I agree. He does not space the floor enough for ant and isn’t enough to be a primary scoring #2 against length and quickness (which is why okc being able to move dort to run ant ragged changes everything)

    Getting mugged clutched and grabbed so exhausted and trying to force shots. This looks like Wiggins time with the wolves where we just forced him to try do everything on both ends all night.
