I’m a broken record on saying that Risacher and Gueye aren’t playing enough, but there are reasons why.
- Hawks consistently at their best on D w/ Gueye
- Defensive rebounding at its best w/ ZR at the 3
- Risacher has the best on-court net rating on the team other than KP and Gueye is 2nd.

Wolves remain the best undependable team in the NBA, or the least dependable good team, take your pick
Anthony Edwards on a lack of energy tonight and how it gets corrected
“We got boo’d and s*** by the fans today, I’m with the fans, I would have boo’d us too, but yeah, lack of energy. I don’t know what’s going on, I guess this is just Timberwolves basketball”

It's amazing how common punching was in the 80's. Also, young Akeem / Hakeem was a grade-A hothead (@mirinfader.bsky.social goes into this a lot in her Hakeem bio)
December 27, 1988: Houston's Akeem Olajuwon is whistled for a punching foul after hitting Miami's John Shasky in the face.
No one was ejected, but Olajuwon was fined $1,500. Olajuwon finished with 22 PTS/4 BLK in the Rockets' 101-93 win. Jon Sundvold led the Heat with 25 PTS.

This also points to Jokic's amazing durability. At 6'11", 280 lbs, he's 4th in the NBA in mins played this decade.
Nikola Jokic is top 2 in the entire NBA this decade in points, assists, rebounds, steals (!!!) and +/-
Nobody else is even top 10 in more than three categories

This might be the biggest athleticism gap in any chasedown block ever
Luka with a chase down block??? Thompson has to have more awareness when he's attacking. He's too athletic to let Luka get this block off.

Since the beginning of the 2018-19 season, Anthony Davis has only played in 392 regular season games.
That's 139th among NBA players during that time, and behind Anthony Edwards and Jaden McDaniels, who didn't enter the league until 2 yrs later.

All of these would have unintended consequences that are worse than tanking.
Seriously, what is Silver's obsession with "fixing" tanking? Every team has to sell either current success, or hope for the future, to fans. What's wrong with being crappy + young for a couple of years?

Sources said multiple ideas were proposed Friday as a brainstorming measure, including:
•Limiting pick protections to either top four or 14 and higher
•No longer allowing a team to draft in the top four two years in a row
•Locking lottery positions after March 1

Joey Mazz has the cleanest "next man up" policy in the NBA
It's fun when the Celtics don't bring it and Joe Mazzulla just looks at his bench and throws competitors out there and they try to figure it out.

Six years ago, Ant was shooting 29% on 7.7 3PA/g in college. Now he's shooting 42% on 3's, many of which are high degree of difficulty like this one.
I don't even have words to describe how insane that growth is.

Until this recent run, KG was the entire history of the Wolves. All-time franchise leader in everything, deeply involved in the community, and he wanted to be there.
Props to the new ownership for getting this reunion done.
