Who said that

????

We got 6 points from DFS.....that is ALL we fucking got from the bench. You don't think Westside Knecht could have contributed?

No. He's not good defensively and doesn't move the ball well enough.

Q to

I rarely complain about the officiating. You constantly complain about the officiating.

There is a difference.

I've complained about the refs exactly 6 times in my 10 years here and your foodie talking ass called me out

If we're being honest, the wolves should have won by 40.

Facts

 

[Picklerick 2.0]

Vando should definitely be getting more burn. He's the type of player that gives lurch fits.

 

[Picklerick 2.0]

Crazy to see Mavs fans cheering for Luka bc they hate their FO so much. You never see this but you also never see a mega superstar traded in his prime w/o him asking out

Garnett. Kat. God I hate being a Minnesota fan...

You mean 6 times every quarter

I'm so glad the Cavs waited and traded for Hunter instead of DFS. Still a good shooter but he has been underwhelming.

Garnett. Kat. God I hate being a Minnesota fan...

Garnett asked to be traded and they respected it, so it was different than out of nowhere that Luka got. The equivalent would be if Garnett was traded midseason with zero warning, and then McHale spent the next few months mentioning you can't win a ring with a star player who is happy to let teammates take the critical shot.

KAT is not a superstar, he is an All-Star. Still a very good player, but not on the same level at all.

So the Lakers never substituted the entire second half? That’s not a winning formula.

Surprise, surprise...Lakers were worn out midway through the 4th. Managed to get the lead back via a few 3s, but sacrificed what should've been a big enough lead due to JJ's "strategy".

Lebron can't be playing 46 minutes in a regulation game. Absolutely insane.

His value is on defense. 2-6 from 3 isn't a strong game, but not terrible.

 

[shopson67]

JJ hasn't really given Vanderbilt consistent minutes, especially vs the Wolves in this series.

He trusts DFS much more.

40+ minutes for 4 guys is insane. Luka and Lebron were on fumes. If he isn't going to play Vando, then get Morris or Knecht out there. Someone needs to give Lebron at least a few minutes rest per quarter.

So glad we have Alex Len on the damn roster. Should have cut him for one of the 2 way guys, he has ZERO value.

I agree 100%.

Yep.

The perfect intangibles player. His offense is gravy when he is on.

Yeah, rookie mistake by JJ. I get his logic and that's fine for the younger guys like AR. But Lebron is 40 and Luka was coming off having been sick for a couple of days. Gotta get them at least a few minutes rest.
