The Wolves couldn’t care less if anyone does or doesn’t believe in them. They go out every night and get little credit and plenty of skepticism and they just continue to dominate on defense and keep getting better offensively. Ant, KAT, Rudy, Conley, McDaniels and company are going to pound teams to the end of the season and surprise all the skeptics in the playoff’s.
During last season, I don't remember the opponents, but before the tanking effort, Maxi Kleber messed up something at the end of a game for a loss, but in the next game came through with a clutch shot for a win, Kyrie was one of the first to grab him and wrestle him to the ground in celebration. He did look, like he was with the team 100%. Maybe it is the structure, maybe the leadership from coach Kidd, but he did resign for less than the max, and if Luka and Kyrie ever figure out a way to maximize their talents, combined with a little growth from Lively, the Mavs will be dangerous!
But what credit you want them to give to Kyrie. They never said he was a bad player. Just that playing wasn't his priority, which is something Kyrie said. @@rjonesy3480
MacMahon was talking about OKC with Utah for a Lauri trade and suggested a package around picks + wallace and/or Giddey, then the Jazz replied the package would have to be around Jalen Williams
Still a m 1st Place after not playing well during their worst part of the schedule. Oh boy, better hope they don’t really start clickin in the Playoffs. A lot of talkin heads will be confused
Ok well my weekly shameless Caruso to a contender plug ( well slight contender), but do we think Dallas has the pieces to trade for Caruso without giving up Hardaway or any big scoring options? 32:07
Actually, you have a waaaay better GM manager. WAAAAAAAY Better. Ainge got lucky multiple times. A friend gifted him Garnett and the Nets gifted him unprotected picks for two washed veterans. Then Kyrie did a Kyrie. Other than that, he's kind of "cheap" and never "went for it" to actually win, while your new GM is going for it and already created a championship caliber roster that is the favorite to win it all in what, one year? Two?
He's good. He ain't "The MAN". He's ultra overrated. And he again got lucky with the Jazz. Wolves giving that many picks for Gobert has nothing to do with him. He just got the job and had to trade the stars and out of nowhere a desperate team goes nuclear. It has nothing to do with him doing anything special. @@mickydem5920
Jazz have 10 players getting 20+ minutes a game.. it's no just lauri, they're deep.. Lauri is athletic Dirk, like you said 50/40/90..thanks finally for some recognition.
The Spurs should consider Malik Monk as the lead guard. He's not a 2 he's a 1 and he's the best passer on the Kings by far. Fox is not close to Monk's passing and Monk can score. He's not a great defender but he can defend.
Kris Dunn is a pure Alpha Dawg on perimeter defense, im calling it now, Kris Dunn makes an NBA All Defensive team selection this season , KD is like Rondo mixed with Tony Allen and Danny Ainge & Will Hardy have found a diamond in the rough for certain 💪🏾 prices just went up!
Is it possible some of Dallas's recent success is due to their lineup being unpredictable. They are tough to scout and key on due to their unpredictable roster.
Gobert is not elite . He’s a walking 3 second violation. He should have been suspended when a Draymond was. The conclusions you all made about his intentions were laughable
I think every team has the type of foundation they want and swapping role guys just isn't as obvious a call but I think the Houston Rockets are really trying to get a Time Lord or DeAndre Jordan I don't think Capela is the guy they really want
THE NBA IS SCRIPTED ANYWAY . U WILL NEVER KNOW WHAT THE STORY LINE WILL BR ONCE THE PLAYOFFS START . ITS AN ENTERTAINMENT SHOW AND NOT REAL BASKETBALL. COLLEGE BBALL IS SO MUCH BETTER TO WATCH .
Lmao a 2 guard leading the charge with mike conley and rudy gobert, yea I think there are a decent amount of similarities. You sound like a casual bro go do your research @@samexoldx 🤣
The wolves have 2 major problems. Number 1 is the turnovers, especially by Kat and Ant. And Number 2 is how scrappy the refs let the game get. The wolves are better in scrappy physical games with less fouls being called.
I would like to see Adam Silva have a total mid life crisis, start smoking crack and totally reimagine NBA rules. I would like to see the deletion of the 3 point line. Just completely gone. NBA could also copy the tennis scoring system. You can win less total points but still win the match if you win at critical moments. You must win two points in a row to win a game, Win three sets to win a match, etc. Probably not THE BEST idea without some more careful consideration. But, you would have to respect the bold attempt and dedication to entertainment.
They just don't have the trade assets to do anything meaningful in the trade market. They sold the farm for the team they have, and that team got some fortunate match ups in the playoffs to get to the WCF last year and then got swept by the nuggets. They could possibly get a mediocre bench player with their pick, but that's not changing anything for them. AD has been playing at a high level, but they don't have enough firepower. If this were any other team than the lakers I would say they should blow it up, but the Lakers don't control any of their picks until the end of this decade, so rebuilding through the draft and doing a youth movement isn't really an option. What they could do is package Lebron and AD for very attractive contracts to clean up their salary which would let them build through free agency. The lakers are 1 of maybe 3 or 4 teams in the league that can rebuild through free agency so they always have that going for them. They just need to clear their books to do it.
Trust me, Ant doesn't. Do u know how much Ant will jump into the GOAT convo if wins a chip this early in his career? The Jprdan comparison is already there. Trust me if he wins it before his 23rd bday with this team, dynasty talk will be not far behind.
@pawyork7681 I think it is the way those guys carry themselves. But there is nothing "soft" about KAT or Rudy. They both bully "tough" players down the post all the time. Yeah, some nights they get smacked around, but more nights thab not, they get to do the smacking.
@@Phizzo4realant can definitely in that top 3 sg combo for sure, my only criticism of his game is his playmaking mainly when he gets doubled in the pick and roll at least from the wolves games I’ve watched but other than that he nice, his playmaking will improve with time.
Lauri isn’t going anywhere because contenders would have to get rid of contending pieces to get him 😂btw lauri and collins both run the 5 in the starting lineup. They’re interchangeable that’s why teams are having a rough time guarding it
Heat are 24-16 with probably the most injuries in the league and the most starting lineups. Spo deserves alot of credit.

Because they're frauds kat a softie goberst trash on offense 😂 Denver new Orleans clippers Dallas Lakers all better than them
Ya ya. Come playoff time when EVERYONE plays defense you will be singing a different tune.
Thank you for finally giving Kyrie some credit. No one else is owning their takes. You the man for that.

@@exilhamburger4802I agree. I want y’all to trade for Bruce Brown.

As a wolves fan, this has been fun. Hope we can go all the way

I see them getting to the confirmation finals thats about it.
@@diegochavez6203😂 we’ve had the toughest schedule so far. Still number 1 in the west.

They would do it for Wallace, Dort and 3 firsts.
Wolves have either 2nd or 3rd easiest schedule the rest of the season.
#1 seed it is!!!

Danny Ainge is the man is what happened to the Jazz. Us Celtics fans owe him big time as well if we can win it all this year

Zach Lowe is the best journalist ESPN has
Why is it when the Mavs tank its a big freakin deal? When every year you got at least 6 teams tanking.
Jazz have 10 players getting 20+ minutes a game.. it's no just lauri, they're deep.. Lauri is athletic Dirk, like you said 50/40/90..thanks finally for some recognition.
Lauri is not 10% the player Dirk was.
@aron.gortman yeah KAT is the closest thing to Dirk. And he is a long ways away currently
The sad ca-caw was hilarious.
That subtle KP diss at 33:39 lol
Kraz is the best, man
I would really like Lauri on Okc but their asking price is going to be too high
That's crazy. Playing your 7'4" big at center. Who would have thought that would make sense positionally? Mind boggling.
I think Zach Lowe needs to revisit ESPN’s game logs before claiming Keyonte George was the “main offender” on Utah Jazz TO’s early in their season…
The Spurs should consider Malik Monk as the lead guard. He's not a 2 he's a 1 and he's the best passer on the Kings by far. Fox is not close to Monk's passing and Monk can score. He's not a great defender but he can defend.

So if Markkanen make all-nba Utah will be on the hook for a super max. How will that affect the team going forward if the rebuild is over?
Wolves really made it out the mud to the number #1 seed. Used to pray for times like this.
Is it possible some of Dallas's recent success is due to their lineup being unpredictable. They are tough to scout and key on due to their unpredictable roster.
Lol how y’all not make Trae Jones as a possible duo with Wemby.
They have plenty of draft picks, they need to keep their foundational pieces, like Zack said.
Gobert is not elite . He’s a walking 3 second violation. He should have been suspended when a Draymond was. The conclusions you all made about his intentions were laughable
European team of Doncic, Jokic, Markinnen, Wembanyama and who????
The top 3 is not set in the west. I think the pelicans can be a top 3 team in the west.
I think every team has the type of foundation they want and swapping role guys just isn't as obvious a call but I think the Houston Rockets are really trying to get a Time Lord or DeAndre Jordan I don't think Capela is the guy they really want
An injured player and a washed veteran over CApela? That's what they are "trying to get"? What are you smoking son?
I have 0 faith in the wolves post season. It’s not personal I just don’t believe in Rudy and Kat.
THE NBA IS SCRIPTED ANYWAY . U WILL NEVER KNOW WHAT THE STORY LINE WILL BR ONCE THE PLAYOFFS START . ITS AN ENTERTAINMENT SHOW AND NOT REAL BASKETBALL. COLLEGE BBALL IS SO MUCH BETTER TO WATCH .
One word: PAY ATTENTION
That is the definition of personal.
