Good one in Portland

 

[msgkings322]

I mean bad one. Another winnable game lost.

Mavs only playing Wood 17 minutes today

He's Def fallen out with Kidd.

Dubs definitely gonna be missing Steph for the next few weeks...but probably even longer than that.

Can't knock their effort tonight though..but a few players are just doing way too much, and it isn't working.

Also....the FT disparity tonight: GS 9 for 10. Port 31 for 32.

Final: Blazers 125 - Dubs 122

My god

Nasty work by the refs in Houston to give kings the game. Called a bogus foul on Houston with .3 left

Fox at the line for 3. Only need 2 to win

I don't know how many more instances we need before everyone realizes the refs in this league have not been good this year. They got a problem. This is not to say its easy or anyone can do it, but these are NBA refs and they are just not up to NBA standards this year.

Weird trade

 

[tlance]

A classic...

Jokes aside, I like this deal for Minnesota. All things considered...

1. I've been a critic of Tim Connelly's negotiating tactics in the past.
2. I think they need to make the decision to trade KAT soon before his contract becomes an albatross.
3. I actually defended the Gobert deal because... It isn't like their team was a contender before he arrived. Worthwhile swing for the fences to see where how you franchise measures up...

For all talks about a decline, Mike Conley is averaging a career-high in assists this season at age 35. He will do what he's asked to do at this stage in his career.

The Timberwolves have a flawed roster, both before and after the trade. That said, this is good haul for them in exchange for a player they had little interest in re-signing.

KAT needs to go next, though. Either this summer or next February... Recover some assets while you still can.

This move is fine for the Wolves.

But there was no defending the Gobert deal.

It was never going to make them a contender and they have so much.

Didn’t even make their defense better. They are too big and slow with KAT and Gobert together.

It was clear when they made the deal it wasn’t going to make them better by enough to be worth that they paid.

agree they need to move KAT. Been saying that for 2 years.

[tlance]

[wildturkey]

GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE

I'm just about to go to sleep and WOJ drops a fucking bomb !?!?!

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Not getting Ayton back is kinda bizarre.

 

[wildturkey]

They kept Ayton and CP3. This is wild. They basically got KD for role players and picks

 

[wildturkey]

Wow. That new Suns owner wasn't lying when he said he wanted to win right away

 

[Stakesarehigh]

I guess Marks cool with getting fired lol

 

[Shanemansj13]

Nets have too many wings. I’m sure they keep making trades to get picks and young players
