Timberwolves about to upset the Nuggets. You heard it here first.
Would love that for Conley, but hate that for Gobert. He’s such a jerk.

I doubt Minny wins 2+ though. Hate the way they play with Gobert - ironically, think their team works really well with KAT at 5

Yeah, I’m not a fan of Gobert either. I do like KAT and Connely, though.

Edwards too. Seems like a throwback from the 90’s/early 00’s.

Huh, saw Enes Freedom's (Kanter) tweet asking who should be expose next. Kemba Walker and the Celtics were on that polling list.

Can't ever imagine what Kemba did from a political standpoint, other than always being hurt in our time of need lol.
Enes Kanter is just another grifter loser latching onto the right-wing media machine, so desperate for relevance that he will say just about anything to keep in the spotlight.
'23 Historical Draft: Orlando Magic.

PG: Terry Porter (90-91) / Steve Francis (00-01)
SG: Joe Dumars (92-93) / Jeff Hornacek (91-92) / Jerry Stackhouse (00-01)

What really irked me was when he was claiming the C's were intentionally choosing not to play him just because of his beliefs/opinions. No dude, you simply sucked and could no longer be a part of our rotation consistently. But it sort of became this issue that lasted for a few weeks and caused some ridiculous drama during a time when we were already sort of experiencing a crisis (C's were around .500, questions about Jaylen + Tatum co-existing, etc.).

And it's telling that since then, he's been out of the league. He's basically a regular on Fox News too

Yeah, nobody cared about Kanter's political opinion - he just defended the PnR worse than my grandmother.

So Dallas has an 80% chance of keeping that draft pick. A 20% chance of losing it.

I fail to remember Kaepernick being looked down on like Kanter is.

Now I'll brace for being told how those cases are (D)ifferent.
Back to wanting Joe fired.

Kanter speaking out is perfectly fine. If he wants to, go ahead.

Him blaming the C's for not getting playing time when he absolutely sucked after 2021 was ridiculous. And it became petty drama that this team didn't need.

That's what annoyed me about the whole situation

You left out the Tim Thomas thread. But maybe that one goes against the point u were trying to make...honestly not really sure.

But...thanks for the stroll down memory lane. So many really interesting posters in those threads. Miss em all

How on earth is calling out the most ghoulish democratic leader in decades equivalent to Kanter's grifting of right wing conspiracists?

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Given the very real threats to him and his family by the Erdogans, this looks  more like Fox News exploiting a  vulnerable person for the ratings.

Ime should turn them down. Wait for a better job. He'll get better offers than that.

Houston could have a Top Draft pick coming up, and have enough cap space for 2 max signings (or 1 + a few great role players or solid starters). So that job might not be as bad as it seems. Houston could be rising soon

I think Houston is the best job available with Detroit a close 2nd.
