Everyone in Miami is over the Kevin Love experience

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Look he clearly has the potential to be a useful player, worth a gamble. Dude's still talented in many things.

Sure.

If this listening version of him sticks.

They say you can’t teach a old dog new tricks.

But, maybe….

Still, it will take more than 15 games to convince me.

He’s pretty washed.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

I've never understood their love for Dwight Powell.

He’s a muscular Wenyen Gabriel .

But, making 5X the salary.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Looks likely to be Cavs/Knicks first round now--- not 100% assured but getting there.

Any update on Randall?

He’s mentally defective.

Get him flustered, he will hand you the series.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Tired.

This work day needs to get over.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Here’s where we stand Thursday Morning.

Most teams have 5 or 6 games remaining.

He’s pretty washed.

All they asked for him is to hit his 3s at a good %.

He is at 28% from 3 on about 5 attempts per game

Play-in, or NOT the play-in? That is the question...

Gotta love the Lakers...

And that's the problem.

It's not like he never had good games with the Lakers.

Hell, if you never saw any games and just looked at his stats, it would make you wonder why they wanted to move him.

It's just every time he does something that makes you think "Maybe this could work", he turns around and shows why it doesn't.

What’s going on with Kyle?

Kyle, Jimmy, Bam on the floor gives you a chance against anyone.

5 is out of reach.

But, I would rather you played the 76ers than Boston/Bucks.

I blame advanced stats on him. Dude takes zero shots but makes the ones he does (because the defense doesn't give a shit about him) and somehow has a 16 per lol.

@thunderc wisely pointed out the danger of him having games like he did yesterday.

It validates his belief that he’s still that guy and he could easily change course and revert to his norm.

So, while I’m not rooting against him, I’m still not ready to drink the kool aid in large gulps.

They dont play him back to backs because of his lingering knee issue.

I would rather the 76ers as well but that is now unlikely. I expect Toronto and Chicago to fuck them up at this point so we probably won't make the real thing

I say playin.

I think the Dubs will pass the Clippers.

If the Clippers aren’t careful, Minny could as well.

But, not the Lakers.

Because of tie breakers, you are essentially 3 back, with 6 to go.

I think you finish 8th.

…at one point, Booker took 15 freebies, the entire Wolves roster had 12.

The optics are suspect.

Some calls were questionable.

But, I didn’t watch the game closely enough to say if they got Dounaghy’d.

Jimmy isn’t losing in the playin if healthy.

Playoff Jimmy is a real thing.
