Jimmy Butler leading the young Timberwolves the only way he knows how

If the youngins buy in he can only help them. But still the honeymoon phase.

Been watching The Jump recently. Is Richard Jefferson a regular? Have always liked him since he was used often on postgame shows here. Selfishly have wanted him to replace AC for a while on Cavs' broadcasts but had a feeling he'd find something bigger and better.

Hopefully, ESPN has big plans for him.

This may not seem like a big deal in and of itself, and hopefully it isn’t one; if nothing else it’s good Kuzma’s doctors caught this before it became a fracture. But foot injuries, particularly stress-related ones, and particularly in taller players, seem to have a way of turning into chronic problems in the NBA. A 6-foot-9, 220-pound body is a lot for foot-bones to carry around, and if they struggle to do it when you’re 24 years old, it isn’t likely they’ll improve with age and the accumulated wear of a full-time professional basketball job.

Now try to imagine this exact same post from Wiggy if Kuzma was on the Cavs. I suspect it would be more about how it's not a fracture, and they caught it early, and he's young so able to heal up quickly, and it's not worth worrying about.

well, he is right about one thing- no one likes him lol

he will be forced fed a big ole shitburger of humility before the last whistle of his season is blown though- that is FOR SURE.

Damn right. Baker suffer from verbal diarrhea. He doesn't know how to keep his big yapper shut.

One of his comments was coming back at some yahoo. Thinking his time could be better spent not worrying what trolls say about him.
