It was so nice to see Sexton on the court again.

If this Damian Jones stretch big thing is legit then all of a sudden he turns into a very intriguing player.

I'll be kinda pissed if we traded 3 good players away and tanked just to draft Gradey Dick.

 

[fishonjazz]

If OKC holds on against the Warriors we are eliminated from play-in contention I’m fairly certain.

Bittersweet. Mostly sweet doe

The Young Bull looked great tonight. 15 points in 15 minutes.

Can't miss

You realize trader Danny made this team right?

I do. But I am still mad we lost Mike.

He has two rings with Golden State.

He was old, tiny, overpriced and isn't doing much in minny.
Losing Mike didn't hurt.
If Sexton and Clarkson don't get hurt and we try to win then we would have had just as good a record post Conley trade as pre Conley trade.

This is too much for my heart. It damn near stopped after KO hit that ridiculous bank shot three ball. Holy cow I just realized both Kessler and Markkanen didn’t play how was this a ball game??

Vanderbilt and Beasley both didn’t play a single second during clutch time. Just 18 total minutes for Vanderbilt and 22 for Beasley.

Both are/were quite overrated.

Both are/were quite overrated.

Totally. Both rotation guys, but not front of the rotation guys and not really difference makers.

Certainly not consistent difference makers. Frankly, when Vandy is off the rails and Beasley can't hit anything they actively make their teams worse.

That’s Elder Dick to you, how dare you

 

[David Stern]

Sorry if already mentioned, but I found it slightly hilarious at how little we were respecting the Vando 3 ball from the corner

 

[SoberasHotRod]

That was the most excruciatingly awesome game I've ever watched, like losing a Kidney, but using it to save a life.

- Samanic was hitting some shots. He also had that nice pass, but missed some easy rebounds that really cost us.
- KO was too good for the tank tonight. Won't be surprised if he sits next game with a mysterious illness after tonight.
- If we let Damian Jones shoot 3's on every possession we would have an offensive rating of 300.
- Great to have Sexton back, he just brings so much energy and confidence to the team. His shot looked a little rusty, but he was still able to get downhill whenever he wanted.

You do get trolling though.

Dude, you don't even remember what you've posted in this thread.

Really good timing for that concussion.
