Wolves lol. If they are this bad with Rose playing so well, imagine if he goes to another team next season (Suns should offer him Ariza type deal)? Towns are Wiggins not having any impact beyond their indovidual stats in 4th and 5th seasons respectively. We used to joke that Okafor will be Al Jefferson in terms of impact during his rookie season. But Towns whom most thought had top 5 player in the league type of potential moving towards that direction.

Suns up big too. It could be turning out to be a perfect night for us.

Edit: I guess ideally the Rockets would have lost


Even Boston lost. Great night!

James Harden is a hot and cold super star. Last year, they had defense to sustain the cold stretches. So I don't think they're outta the woods yet.

The other night, they lost to Portland with KL, but without Lowry. I might be reading too much into this, but I'm curious to see if KL plays in Denver without Lowry again. These are tough games without Lowry, and I wonder if KL cares about how it looks if he loses again without Kyle. They were a well oiled machine in GS without KL.

I won't be surprised to fight denver for that second spot all season long. If our young players take their games to the next level, i can see them getting that number one spot. I would not have believed if someone told me that we would have a chance to take the number one seed away from GS on Christmas night, but we do. The team is making good progress, most games they have lost have been competitive with a chance to win in the 4th, Denver and Toronto game were the only two bad games imo where they've lost.. I didn't expect them to be where they are in the standings with a quarter of the season being played tbh.

And remember, we were 2-5 to start. We have been playing at a 60 win clip since then.

By the way, a third of the season has been played.

I’d be fine if we ended up with home court against the clippers in round 1. Then got Denver in round 2 like where we are at today.

Davis's midrange and three are worse than Ingram this year but sure let's trade the entire team for a guy who's leading their team to a sub .500 record.

Should have given Indy what they wanted for George, he is playing at a DPOY level right now. Plus Grant is turning into the type of pro that we hope our players develop into. If they stay injury free they are the second best team in the West with that league leading defense.

Nah, we're good. In Westbrick I trust... for them to go nowhere. They couldn't do it with KD, Harden, Ibaka. I highly doubt they do it with PG.

I still think we rejected George to sign someone else.

Which looks like a horrible miscalculation at this point unless we see KD or Kawhi in purple and gold next season.

Should have given PHX what they wanted for Ariza too right?

You guys still don't realize that teams hate trading with us, especially Phoenix and Indiana? Indiana sued us for tampering even after they traded PG to Indiana. San Antonio wanted our entire team for Kawhi. Phoenix wanted our young players for Ariza. We're not getting the same type of fairness as other teams, let it go.

Only hope we have is free agency.

Nuggets beat Raptors 95-86.

Seems like they are fine without Leonard, but it's a different story without Lowry who averages 10 assists per game.

Walton added that he’s hopeful to get Brandon Ingram and Rajon Rondo back on Friday vs. New Orleans, but we’ll see when the team returns from this trip.

I know it's day old news. But I just saw this.
Right in the nick of time. We have some tough games next week. Golden State, Sacramento, and Clippers.

Pretty dumb. They should be tanking for Zion/Barrett.

So glad I don't have to bookmark tankathon and look it up every day.
