Kevin Gausman> Damian Lillard

Kevin Hart > Damian Lillard

The FO needs it.

They announced they were raising ticket prices next year a few games before Jimmy got hurt lmao.

That's horrible timing, but at least Butler should be healthy for those raised prices next season.

 

[tlance]

We don’t lose to Portland with Jimmy.

It’s a factual statement

Facts break @tlance tho

So, let me get this straight.

It is fact that Minnesota will beat Portland? I am not going to say Minny has no chance. If Butler is healthy it is near a toss up. But, the reason it is a toss up is because Lillard is the best player on the court. Minny's roster minus Butler is MUCH better than Portland's minus Dame. And it isn't close.

Just like you were ready to bet me that Butler would finish ahead of Anthony Davis in the MVP ballot. How did that work out for you?

Wolves roster with Butler is better then portland with Dame. 2-0. Facts.

Butler is better then Lillard. Also fact.

Why do you keep saying this Davis stuff? Are you autistic? If anything it proves my Butler point more. I said Butler was MVP BEFORE he got hurt.

Seriously if it’s aspergers or something just let me know

Simmons gets more and more cheeky with each game.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Jimmy shits on Dame.

Again, with Jimmy the wolves were better then the Blazers lmao.

Hopefully we will find out.

Um yeah how about posting it in English okay? I can't read that stuff!

 

[thunderc]

Whiteide been salty about the Heat drafting Bam/signing Kelly for months now because he know that meant fewer minutes for him because those 2 can do a lot more on the court than he can do .

Why a guy that can’t stay as healthy as he seems to think he has to be in order to play would worry about minutes is a mystery.

Not going to argue with a homer who is more biased than Jimmy Butler's mother.

Jimmys mom literally threw him out of the house at 13 because she didn’t like him lol

So excellent way to prove your point.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

I’m imagining Tlance at home on the computer literally facepalming my comments.

It’s a fun mental image.

I agree to a point. If your strength is size, you need to use it.

But over time, the pace and space offenses win out. It is being proven at every level. Villanova dominating college basketba with a very similar concept to what the Rockets and Warriors use.

No doubt that you eventually have to go small when the opponent does. I just think teams are too quick to jump to that.

The one thing about the pace and space offenses is that if the perimeter game isn't working, then the offense doesn't work. But when the shots start to fall, they can make ground/extend a lead very quickly. We see the Warriors do this just about every game. lol

So, imo, the trick is to press the size advantage for as long as possible, but be ready to switch to small ball if/when the shots start falling and you find yourselves trading 2's for 3's. Or your bigs start to get tired from the pace. .

If u recall, I said it wasn’t a bad thing when Wade/Whiteside were out.

Its hard.

That's what she said

 

[mick7-1961]

Dame is a top 10 player in the league this year....

Dame is a slur
You should say lady

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

I had to turn away when he started crying.

That's the part that scared me.

 

[trojanfan12]

It's like saying George is a better MVP candidate than Harden.

Harden plays zero d.

ZERO.

But, his offensive repertoire, flops, horrible foul calls included, are so superior to George that it doesn't even matter.

Hey now, don't be dissin' the future Laker like that. PG-13 is better than anyone not named Lebron (unless of course he doesn't come to the Lakers...if that happens, then fuck him, he sucks). lol
