No fukks given. :russwat:

:wow:


Good chance both the Thunder & Pelicans beat Minny & lose their other game (OKC to Portland & NO to SA). Going to end up in a tie that NO wins due to the tiebreaker. On that Davis game winning 3 in OKC.

Westbrook shooting 41 times had nothing to do with them losing tonight


The Thunder were like 10/28 from the Free throw line......

They got everything they wanted offensively and couldn't make free throws

Also Scott brooks is a dumb ass, he had them playing small ball towards the end of the game and had David West & Scola posting up Waiters......They didn't have a shot defensively, especially when Kanter was out there.

Morey the Damon Lindelof of the NBA. I wonder how season 2 is going to end. Will the reasoning behind all his moves be explained. Or will it just be kept a mystery. Will his stans keep saying he's a genius, yet still be none the wiser as to what the fukk he's really doing. Will Dwight Howard be revealed as the Smoke Monster?

:lupe:

If that happens, that means we clinch tomorrow.

Y'all gotta realize the situation the Wolves and their fans have been in. They've missed the playoffs 11 seasons in a row. Mind you, this is a league where the majority of teams make the playoffs each year, so that's just a whole new level of ineptitude.

It's easy for us, as outsiders, to say "Y'all have players with potential, y'all gonna have a good squad in a few years". Wolves fans have heard that shyt for the past 11 years and nothing has come to fruition. So I can't really blame @tremonthustler1 or any other Wolves fan for taking the pessimistic stance and pretty much saying "fukk potential, I want to see actual results."

As far as Rubio goes, sure he's not a good shooter at all, he doesn't fill up the box score and yes he's not an irreplaceable player. But the Wolves were clearly a worse team with him sidelined, and they've performed better on both ends with him on the court as opposed to off. So judging by that it's hard to say he's a liability for them.
The problem with Rubio is that he shrinks the court for the rest of the players on the court. For the short term, he may lead to some extra wins pounding the ball there's no doubting that. But for the long term development of the team their younger players will have a lot more room to operate and grow their games without Rubio on the court and the Twolves will always have a ceiling of their success level as long as Rubio is the starting point. I don't see him going anywhere though having that contract.

Kidd should be coach of the year...

Traded his best player (knight)

Lost his no 2 overall pick rookie to a season ending injury (Parker)...

Had his defensive and rebounding specialist big man retire (Sanders)

Turned one of the worst teams in the league into a winning team while having LESS talent on the roster than the team did when they were a loosing team...

Slimeball move how he left but you got to respect his coaching...
