Good thing you have .net!

I always support Paul George slander.

I find them funny, Wally, and wouldn't see them otherwise.

PG has gotta be the most useless "superstar" in NBA history.

I'm not even sure he has that distinction on his own current team.

I'm just saying that no team George has gone to has every really gotten better.

Things going well in Minny.

Feel like we’ve seen this before over the years… Looks like the first steps to forcing his way out. I’m a hard pass on players like this when they can have that much power and influence on a team and act like this. Kid needs to grow up.

[Mori Chu]

The fans booing the players isn't disrespectful if they don't like the effort the players are putting out. Ant needs to let his play do the talking.

[Wally_West]

Happy Thanksgiving!

Counterpoint, he seems like the only one who cares.

This is on ownership for ruining a WC finals team because they didn't wanna pay to keep it together.

We can definitely empathize with having an owner like that… but still think there’s a level of maturity that shows when making statements like that. Definitely a frustrating situation.

I think Minnesota was also due to regress a bit offensively, all those 3D wings that were hitting everything last season hadn't really shown they could do that before. Traded their best shooter and their role guys not shooting well makes a lot of sense as to why they don't look nearly as strong as last year.

Hardy messed up, had plenty of time to call the TO prior. Looked like neither Hardy or Sexton were clear on what to do so Sexton just went to the basket while Hardy called the TO thinking they need a play set up.

[Mori Chu]

LOL, and the Lakers win because of it. Was that just dumb coaching? Or coordinated tanking?
