Bullshit. Post whatever you want about any other NBA topic and I'll engage with it here. I always have and I'm one of the few that does.
It can't be helped though that LeBron continues to drive discussions more than any other topic in the league though in his 21st year. [Reply]
Lebron hurt his ankle and Karl-Anthony Towns hurt his knee. The West is going to be so matchup dependent but Injuries going to be the deciding factor for who advances or not IMHO.. [Reply]

If the Lakers make it out of the play-in again and get the TWolves in R1 (rather than, say, Denver or LAC), I think we all know how that's going down. Have a real chance at another playoff run in that scenario.
If Jokic and Jamal Murray are healthy, though, nobody is picking against Denver to go back to back. [Reply]

Without KAT? Maybe.
Has he stayed healthy I would have offered a bet with you.
I know you’re gonna say I’m overrating KAT but size was the whole point of this Wolves team. If Gobert was getting hounded you could still play size with KAT and Naz while upgrading your shooting options. Now it forces Gobert to actually get buckets in the playoffs.
I said the Wolves would win a first round series and be competitive and possibly make the WCF. Now we’ll be lucky just to get out of the first round. [Reply]

KAT would choke come playoff time anyway. For all his talent, he can't be trusted in big games to play the right way. [Reply]
From last night: Nikola Jokic fake ties his shoe in front of the referee and Celtics inbounder to buy the Nuggets extra time to see if they should challenge the call. pic.twitter.com/s3F5WNU8HH
It's not talked enough just how much of a competitive/basketball genius this guy is. Easily one of the best offensive players I've ever seen as well. I'm pretty sure he's gonna down as a top 10 player of all time before all is said and done. [Reply]

When he's asked to be the lead dog, sure.
There are dozens of great players in the league who have the same stigma. And some of them even manage to win championships if they're on the right team. [Reply]

Chris Bosh as a #3 had LeBron and DWade carrying him. Who does KAT have? [Reply]

I hate cheaters
I want to buy a eurotrash compactor to eradicate these shitheads from the league [Reply]
There were equal Celtics fans as Nuggets fans in the crowd last night. But I never see these fans on the streets. Where the fuck did they all come from? [Reply]
