Is it just me, or has Towns kind of had a disappointing career given how good he started? Projected to be the next Duncan, more like the next Amar’e Stoudemire. Huge stats but not much actual impact.
I know Amare wasn’t what he was supposed to be but let’s not compare a guy who hasn’t been to the playoffs to someone who went to multiple deep playoff runs and was a force during the PHX days with Steve Nash.
Amare would bang in the paint blocking shots and grabbing boards with force.
Don’t think there’s too many times we can recall KAT ever doing so against us.
Yeah, KAT is more like Blake Griffin with less athleticism then Amare if you wanna compare PFs.

Imagine if Duncan went to waste on a team going nowhere for the majority of his prime. KG and Kevin Love can relate to what Towns is going through right now. Then the team finally paired him with DLO, but when DLO was healthy, Towns was injured, and DLO got hurt trying to carry the team and is now out 4-6 weeks after needing surgery on his knee, as Towns returns.
The sad reality is that DLO and Towns may never actually get to play together with any kind of consistency.
The T'Wolves may just have to sell high on Towns now while they can, and then on DLO when he comes back, so that they can get some picks/etc out of it.
No idea why they traded away their pick to get Russell. Should have just tanked this year. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:

Ouch, and even the real Blake Griffin is a loser.
Okafor was supposed to be all offense and no defense and Towns was supposed to be a balance of both. In reality, Towns turned out to be all offense and no defense and Okafor turned out to be literally nothing. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:

Cause DLO and KAT are bff... I think they might gun for Booker if they get top 3 pick. Those 3 guys want to play together.

Yeah all 3 originally wanted to play on the Lakers together(along with Ben Simmons)
BUT I guess Minnesota is close enough
I'd say though the Suns are doing very well this year that Booker may not want to go anywhere and therefore the Suns will feel no pressure to move him. _________________ How NBA 2K18 failed the All-Time Lakers:

Wonderful game to get a win on. Played some squirrelly looking basketball for a while there, and still won pretty comfortably.
This is how it will be for awhile, similar to pre-AD with LBJ. Team will be fine; albeit, I fully expect them to drop to 4th or 5th in the standings eventually until a (ABSOLUTELY healthy) AD returns.
We all love Anthony Davis.. but I think you are being way to dramatic, no way we will drop that much.
Nope, just being realistic. Expectations reasonable, to the lower point of the reasonable range. Besides, only 2-3 games up in the loss column separate them from the 4th-5th seed (I'm focusing on the losses there). I also expect AD to be out after the all star break as well. Wouldnt be surprised if it went to 20ish games, instead of 9.
Great to see Kieff get going - we really could use his production with AD out.
We should be good with Lebron/Trezz/Schroeder carrying the offense and solid contributions elsewhere. Would be nice to see a bit more offense from Kuz but liked his effort as well.

Some say KAT won't bang. I don't think that's true. Watching him last night he was moving Gasol around down low. He's not on a good team.Look at the roster As far as Dlo goes, I blame Byron Scott. I think he ruined a promising career in Dlo. They'll most likely get some burn together this season. It will come out whether or not they're compatible.
We're about to see what the Lakers are made of. I'd sacrifice a game or two by managing Bron's and when he comes back, AD's minutes. We need a healthy AD and Bron to bring home the Larry O'Brien and repeat. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

I think they can expect to win at least 75% of the games without AD. That is more than enough to stay on top of the west.
