Doesn't really pertain to anyone else except myself I suppose but I think the Wilfs purchasing the Wolves from Taylor would be a very good move overall. Taylor has been probably one of the cheapest and most unruly owners the league has these days and I think it would help the team culture overall of they had ownership who at least know how to create a competently competitive team. I certainly hope this becomes a reality.

Wolves have some useful parts, Towns + Russell has potential as a tandem and I like guys like Okogie. With some smart moves its a team that could definitely be in the playoffs in 2-3 years.
I think people underestimate the value of a guy like Towns - all-rounder Centres are really valuable and can really give a team a big push.
Jokic is a prime example - Other than Murray most of the guys around him are solid rather than spectacular and they've consistently been one of the top teams in the league recently. I could easily see a Towns/Russell tandem doing the same.
It's all about picking up the right players to build around them.

Two pretty crazy situations. On China the NBA seems to be trying to sweep this one under the rug. For such a woke league with woke people like Popovich, Steve Kerr, and Lebron James I'd love to hear their opinions on this.

The Clippers are up against the Lakers 66-55 in the third quarter. Everything's going right for the Clippers. I really want to see them beat the Lakers.

The Lakers made a quick comeback with those threes and made it a close game. This game is a very entertaining one.

Close, but no cigar as the Lakers come away with a 103-101 lead over the Clippers. Both team sure as hell wanted that W, but the Lakers managed to squeeze out the victory. Like I said before, entertaining game it was.

NBA are absolute hypocrites. Claim to be for social justice and the like but they're more than happy to take Chinese money and silence anyone who has an opinion on the situation.

Love watching the league but honestly the politics bubbling under the surface with shit like that are just gross.

Spurs winning the whole game and almost blowing it in the 4th :worried They have almost a 0% chance of making the playoffs but beating the Grizzlies here would be great with the Blazers losing too

FiveThirtyEight has bumped the Spurs up from 2% to a 3% chance of making the playoffs after that victory :garrett
