You hear the Sixers players talking about how tough he is to defend in practice. Nobody can stay in front of him / keep him from getting to the basket.

Fultz is going to be incredible once he gets comfortable in the league.

Lots of people were too quick to write him off. The talent is there.
He’s still not shooting 3s... do something is still up.

L m a o at Thibs if Minnesota fails to make the postseason. It never should have even come down to this, imo, even with Butler's injury, as they have plenty of talent.

If you're Minny, you explore all options of trading Wiggins this offseason, right? KAT and Butler have to the be the core and you need to surround them with more shooting. Either that or Wiggins has to become the defense stopper he's physically capable of being. He's just too passive defensively and inefficient offensively to work there as is.

Heat and Wizards both making 4th quarter comebacks.

This is why NO ONE takes Toronto seriously.

A bunch of choke artists they are.

They're a completely different, and much better, team with Siakam and Poeltl on the floor, imo. Those guys have to be in the starting lineup next year, with Ibaka coming off the bench as the 3rd big guy in their rotation if they want to take another step, but yeah, I agree about Derozan and Lowry going into Tom Gordon mode once the playoffs begin. They haven't even won the first game in any of their past playoff series, irrespective of whether or not they've been on the road or not ::). Oh lawd.

110-106 with 10.1 seconds to go.

Imagine Tom Thibs blow this lead.

Minnesota fans are so anxious to get swept in Round 1. But I must praise them for making it far and finally making it to the playoffs.

Glad the Wolves won.  With Butler, they were in the 3-4 seed range.  That he came back from meniscus surgery in 6 weeks to make this late push is awesome.  I wish we had traded the BKN pick for him and worked out the logjam at wing afterward.  Great late defense by Taj, too.  The Wolves earned it.

C'mon. The Western Conference is a straight up bloodbath. There's 1.5 games separating the 3-8 seeds.

I realize that, but at the same time, I just don't think much of Thibs as a coach :-\. Hopefully, this won't be the last postseason for Butler, either, owing to his knee injury. Ugh.

Yeah, that was a horrible contract. More to the point, who's going to want him?
