    Luka

    JJ just nailed the shit out of Luka. He said the "team" needed to get in championship shape during the offseason. Everybody else on the roster looks to be in excellent physical condition. Nico wasn't crazy to trade him. He blew it on the compensation.

    As much as I fear Curry, I'd much rather play GS than Houston. Houston is bigger, faster, meaner, hungrier and younger than GS. They play slightly better defense and have a slightly better offense than GS, plus home court. If I have a choice, I'll take my chances against 35 year old Butler...

    I think all three of them are really bad.

    I appreciate how lucky we are to have Grady and Jim Pete.

    What Dallas got back was ridiculous.

    I'd love to say it ain't so but Ant and KAT, at least during his time with the wolves, are right up there with him. LeBron doesn't have to complain much because the refs practically let him call fouls.

    Too much analysis. The law of averages returned. Not much more to it than that. The wolves shot over 50% from 3 in game one and 70% from 3 in uncontested shots. No other team had shot over 50% or 55% (can't remember) on uncontested 3's all season. Game one was a complete outlier on...

    Gophers land a big man....... 6' 10" Nehemiah Turner

    Maybe he will continue to lose weight and gain skills like Mo Walker. The problem is that you can't count on anybody staying more than a year.

    Dawson Garcia Entering The Transfer Portal

    Now that academics and athletics have been completely decoupled, how can the NCAA's traditional rule of four or five years of eligibility hold? With all of the money sloshing around in the system Parker Fox is going to look like a short timer. Why would Garcia hope to be a second round pick or...

    I always have to be worried about something related to our wolves. I'm worried about hubris. The Lakers have two great players, one very good player and a young but super smart coach. The Lakers got smacked and they are pissed. The wolves aren't shooting 50% from 3 Tuesday night. Can the...

    Malone or Finch as coach next season??

    The guy who makes the decision is Ant. That's how it works in the NBA. The next coach will be sexier/flashier than Malone. That's how it works with The Boys.

    Luka killed us passing wise on the lob dunks and the corner 3's last year. He doesn't have the same personnel this year. Ironically, Vando might be his best lob dunk partner.

    Yup. Jaden, Naz, even Conley at key moments, plus serious D.

    Surprised the hell out of me. That's the beauty of sports. The refs let them play and didn't protect LBJ and Luka. Live and die by the three. Last night they went in. Fifteen to go.

    The only thing I feel certain about is Luka and LeBron are going to the line for at least a combined 25 FT's a game.

    The Wolves' struggles to close out games, leading the NBA with 26 clutch-time losses, has put Finch's job security in question

    I'm not a conspiracy person, though I do lean towards cynicism and skepticism. Having said that, there's just too much money riding on the Lakers going far in the playoffs....

    Shooter: Gophers' NIL budget this season —lowest in the Big Ten — was in the $700,000 range, of which Dawson Garcia got $500,000.

    If it's remotely close to the truth, how was Ben supposed to compete? Seriously. You would have a 100% legit case to rag on him if he produced that four year record under the old rules. However, if he was that revenue deficient, seven B1G wins in 24-25 was a near miracle.

    I'm pretty sure Kyrie was well compensated for the approx 20 minutes that he actually played.
