Just need to hold off OKC until the grim salary cap reaper comes for them.

But then again they have the draft picks to replace expensive dudes with cheap dudes.

Yeah, but they are a lot of pieces away.

I like Reaves, and think he's great, but him and Luka together are two massive marks on the defensive end. I dont think they work together unless the rest of your roster is loaded with defenders.

How can they get a center? What happens when Lebron leaves? Who is the 2nd all-star they can get next to Luka?

They are in great position to be a playoff team for years to come, but they arent in a great position to build a true contender.

I am intriuged to see Luka next season. If getting bounced by Gobert in a Game 5 doesnt light a fire under your *** to take your conditioning to the next level, I dont know what will.

Luka’s been in the league eight years. I don’t think he’ll ever get it. If he doesn’t show marked improvement in conditioning and shape next year, he will never get it until it’s too late.

Can Luka opt out and rejoin the Mavs with Kyrie and AD?

That team surely is guaranteed to win it all.

Mavs fans will love it too.

It is amazing Denver is going to win this game when Jokic played so awful (by his standards.) OKC really wasted an opportunity.

Lol yeah that's hilarious considering a 20-16-6 game from any starting center in the league would be considered front-page news, except from Jokic. For him that's pretty pedestrian and actually implies he struggled in this game. LOL

I mean imagine a 20-16-6 game from Gobert? Everyone would be losing their minds.

I mean if Gobert went 8-24 with 0-10 from 3 and added 8 turnovers, he might get a little criticism, even accounting for the rebounds. . .

Jokic was bad that game. And not just due to his high standards. He was bad.

Not as much if it resulted in a win.

No doubt. But still interesting how the numbers tell different stories when in a different context.
 
I do think if the Wolves lost to the Stephless Warriors it would be a franchise altering disappointment akin to Utah's loss to the Clippers
 
Just realized this cheering for the TWolves - with Gobert, Conley and NAW, if you swap AntMan for Spider - we basically have the original Jazz team.. lol..

Go T'Wolves!!!!!
 
MIN defense is in shambles. They don't have anyone to match up with Butler (or he's getting the switch), and if they go zone it will inevitably crack and Kuminga is going to get a dunk off a cut.
