was this posted :o

he seems more healthy this year. he seems fine. what'd he do?

from what i've seen he thinks he's russell westbrook and plays accordingly

good article on the wolves' weaknesses and some of the poor D stuff discussed upthread, c&ped from The Athletic to this thread because I didn't want to hogg it up...by Britt Robson the best wolves writer ever (this was after the back to back losses couple games ago so a little outdated but the larger concerns are still relevant

I think this picture of Cory Brewer effortlessly sums up the complete history of the Minnesota Timberwolves as a franchise

With successive pratfalls against theoretically inferior Eastern Conference opponents on Tuesday and Wednesday night, the Minnesota Timberwolves did their level best to remind their fan base that rooting for this franchise requires that one become either a patsy or a cynic — either a person “who is easily manipulated or victimized,” or a person “who questions whether something will happen, or whether it is worthwhile.”

Or, put more bluntly, do you want to be a dupe or a jerk?

If that sounds harsh, consider that while there are countless ways to chronicle the historical ineptitude of the Wolves 28-year existence heading into this season, it is still difficult to capture the essence of how wretched the fan experience has been for those who follow the team. But for the purpose of our current context, let’s give it one more shot.

lol wow

dude honestly i bet has watched 90 percent of every Wolves game ever played

good read.

you happy w the Athletic subscription? Was thinking about it getting it.

there isn't a lot of content and they're only focused on a few markets. i like a bunch of the writers though.

yeah i like the dubs/bay area writers they've got

like clockwork

I would say that you should make your Athletic decision based on your local writers they got, I'm digging it based on that

that said....I got a year for $40 with a promo code and I'm finding some good national content too

yeah i passed when they had that deal going and shoulda done it then. think I'll wait for something like that to come around again.

In that photo Dwyane looks like Lebron just aired one out.

This Sabonis thing is out of control

the kings suck

its okay, the cavs do too so they're not alone

cavs will miss the nba playoffs

6 assists for sabonis

watching this game between the titans of basketball, the magic and the grizzlies

this game is extremely messy

the magic's offense doesn't make any sense to me but it's working

The Suns are HOT

why

Bledsoe trade value drops every day that goes by. Especially when they’re playing well like this

grizz just got an uncontested fast break dunk off of an orlando make lol

Tyreke looks healthy for the first time since his rookie year

cavs stink

we were witnesses

that box score is a nightmare

magic burned an unnecessary timeout and came out of it with a play of 'do nothing for 10 seconds and then shoot a contested 3'

LMAO

that was the most beautiful sequence i've seen in the final minute of a 1 possession game in a long time

the kings suck

they play the not good basketball, particularly on the defense

they cant score either. thats a bad combo

the celtics showed no sign of exerting themselves all game and were still up by 30

cavs shd trade lebron #TradeLebron

might be time to move on from Kevin Love idk

#celticsthought i really like daniel theis. active, good energy, basically knows what to do. good team guy. there have to be some other gems in the high euro leagues who can play like this.

kevin love appears to be a shell of a good player, idk what happened to that guy

seems to be a classic case of good player on a crap team putting up good #s?

he helped Cle get a ring tho so it's obv not all bad

i just watched 4 quarters of the utah jazz and i still don't fully get at all how they score

pick and rolls

i think they are awarded points with every defensive stop

it is perhaps through the i believe scientific process of osmosis

ah one of the most scientific of processes

When I watch Kings games the guy who stands out as a culprit to me is Cauley-Stein. He plays bad defense and offers nothing on offense.

Papagiannis has to be better even at age 19 or whatever he is

This Mike James guy is pretty cool

“Embiid logs career-high 30 minutes”

as a wolves fan, it's weirdly encouraging to see them win a game in which a lot of the starters objectively played like shit esp. KAT, but yet we won

there were so many times in the past in which you end up walking away thinking damn we should have won that game but didn't

part of it is just having the weird sensation of having some real grown ass men NBA players like Butler and Crawford on the team, instead of steaky, ultra gifted but inconsistent vessels of "talent" and "potential"
