how?
They got rid of the Rubio/Dunn combo and added Jeff Teague. Now I know he’s no all star stud but he’s been a serviceable point guard so far.

Adding Butler was great and there bench is better with Crawford. You make think everything about the Wolves is fools good, but they are finally on track to make the playoffs. Still better than previous years.

teague isn't even that much better than tyus jones right now

the only difference between this year's wolves and last years is that they aren't choking every single 4th quarter anymore (rubio). they still run sets from the early 90s and force feed two guys that are only good when they're dropping 40 and making sportscenter. jimmy can't carry that team or make them play defense

thibs should've been fired last year.

crawford is about as valuable to a team as jason terry at this point

the only way you can like the wolves is if you don't actually watch the wolves

“The thing about [Tatum] is when he came in for his [pre-draft] workout, he made a lot of shots and it looked effortless,” Celtics head coach Brad Stevens said this week. “That’s usually a pretty good sign. It didn’t look like it was just one of those days where he was just hitting everything. He would miss two in a row and it wouldn’t dissuade him from hitting the next one. He had no thought about making the next five, he just kept shooting. For a guy with his frame, he shoots it effortless. He’s gonna be able to shoot it deeper, he’s gonna be able to make it off running once he gets a bit stronger and more used to everything else. He’s gonna be one heck of a shooter.”

A better Tatum comparison than Curry is probably Carmelo Anthony. Anthony is 6-foot-8, as is Tatum and both players came from big-time college basketball programs (Anthony with Syracuse and Tatum with Duke). Both also played college ball for just one year and both enjoyed sterling rookie shooting campaigns in the NBA. Anthony averaged a whopping 21.0 points per game in his rookie year. Tatum is currently averaging 13.9 (sixth among rookies).


Is Celtics Jayson Tatum the next Carmelo Anthony in NBA?

Teams with shyt home attendance tend to volunteer themselves.

This is true for the Nets but they’re there early to brand the team in Mexico. Supposedly they’re gonna do local TV there and be all over town this weekend.

The cartels can’t wait to see Russell:lolbron:
