Why take the picks if you won’t be there to use them? Thibs is a win-now coach and POBO, he doesn’t care about setting up the future if he's not involved.  If he weren't on the hot seat already, he may have done that deal to try to secure some long term job, but he doesn't seem long for Minnesota.

I wonder what's being said at Halftime.  He's been flat in the third quarter this year and sometimes comes back in the 4th.  I also feel compelled to check out the teams usage splits between the quarters too.  2nd half has felt like a lot of Butler and Rose, but I'm not sure if that's actually the case.

College sports seem to have a special kind of crazy sports fan that you don't see as often in the pros.

I am jazzed as hell for the Adventure mode and Spirit stuff.  

I am always amazed when I see people give Bethesda a pass for things like this.

Watching him cone off the bench for Dortmund has been fun. It’ll be sad to see the ridiculous scoring rate dry up if/when he gets the start over Philipp, buto for now I’ll enjoy his status as a sub who takes advantage of tired defenders.

I don't think Steph or DeRozen even approach their current levels if drafted by the Wolves.  I don't think the team had the coaching, medical, or surrounding staff to get the most out of them at that time.

It's a family tradition.

God fucking dammit.  I hope this doesn't cause Towns to skip town too...

If I’m getting it right, they’re inflating the number so they can justify writing off stadium expansions from the budget, instead of paying players?  Or do they try to get through taxpayers to pay for this shit too..

They remind me of Germany’s white world cup kits.

Nobody likes a person who is being contrary just to be a contrarian

Because the journey is more important than the destination? I don't get the mindset that only the championship matters in terms of entertainment.

I don't know. I feel like I can’t cross the Spurs off until they don’t make it.  Pop may not have a stud like Leonard next year, but I feel that they've earned the benifit of the doubt for now 

NNh, they’re gonna beat up on each other and have a bunch of teams go 42-40, so we can hear about how strong the East is. Meanwhile, someone between Jrue/AD, Butler/Towns, Milsap/Jokic, CJ/Dame or Gobert/Mitchell will miss the playoffs.

Timberwolves too, please.

This is probably why the EA Sports Ultimate Teams haven’t come under as much fire. Sure, you may not pack a Messi or Ronaldo, but you can sell the players you do get, and play a market game within the game to eventually buy one outright.

I’m pulling for Batshuayi, because he was super fun for Dortmund after the winter transfer window.
