Detroit making Russell look like a superstar.

He’s one of my favorite non Wolves players. I do wish he would dial back the flopping though, I was pretty disgusted with him flopping his head back to make it look like there was contact when no one touched him last night so he could get to the line for 2 easy points. He doesn’t need to do that he is a fantastic shooter and driver, earn the points with his talent.

Cade hasn’t even had the pleasure of playing against Gobert yet. Or Anthony Davis, and Wemby.

It is what it is, if you pay attention to the announcers you can choose to enjoy them or be outraged.

How dare they name Jalen Brunson Eastern Conference player of the week over Lamelo.

He seemed pretty easy to clamp down last night in Minneapolis.

What is with the agenda against Cade this season? This question gets asked multiple times per week.

The best move in NBA history? This is a move Jordan would pull out every few weeks.

I haven’t seen enough to say he is a future superstar, but I have seen enough to say he won’t be a bust as long as he stays healthy enough. I see at least 1 or 2 allstar appearances for him the East one day.

Wolves almost saw the great Podziemski power back a comeback in the final minute.

MVP too early to say, but it’s Jokic to lose

Roy Victor

6MOTY Naz Reid, no on else will be close

MIP Tyrese Maxey

DPOY Gobert, Jaden McDaniels or OG Anubody

COTY Finch or Ime.

I probably would have just put the 24 points 9/16 4/6 from 3 and left out the 4 rebounds and 2 assists if you wanted to have a more impressive title. His 3pt shot this year has been great.

Bigs are generally expected to take a lot more contact than the Morant’s of the world. Shaq would have fouled out entire teams if every time he got hit it was called a foul.

3 excellent players, hopefully Lamelo can get some better players around him and stay healthy. Health is the only thing that can hold Lamelo back.

That’s a pretty big assumption that they can stay healthy.

We had him all to ourselves in Minnesota for a few years, it was fantastic.

Uh Sure, the NBA did implement that players need to play at least 65 games to earn mvp honors. Lillard’s last 4 seasons have either been under or just barely over. 66, 67, 29, 58.

Impossible to say, if we say Nikola Jokic and Wilt were both born in the 30’s, and had access to the exact same gyms, workouts, lack of 3pt lines, nutrition we would have no idea what Nikola would look like. He may be in better shape, since food wasn’t nearly as unhealthy in the 50’s. He also wouldn’t have access to the trainers, watching training and nutrition videos on the internet, decades of role models that he would have shaped his game after etc.
