    I know there are long time, respected members who like this, but come on -- we can't have this short of a memory. I think J. Bz. was really important to the team too. But, I don't think we should forget what D'Antoni has done for us. An assistant coach can do very little without a head coach swallowing his ego and letting the assistant perform.

    I trust Harden's and the team's assessment of D'Antoni more than I do my own or other non-professionals.

    I didn’t say you said he had to opt in to get a deal done. What I’m saying is we’ll give up the 4 picks without him having to opt in cause we’ll be willing to take that risk. You’re trying too hard to make it seem like you’re in the loop when we all know that you’re not. You’re just at home reading articles like everybody else. And the rest is fantasy. STOP IT.

    meh....the guy basically tells the team to shoot the ball and gives motivational speeches in broken english. No one is gonna confuse MDA for a great x's and o's coach. I appreciate the success he had here for two seasons with Jeff BizD, but right now i'd rather have Jeff BizD coaching this team.

    The exact definition of a wild overreaction. Let’s not lose our collective minds just yet.

    Local newspaper thinks Jimmy should hit the road...

    Jimmy Butler has done enough harm, Wolves need to trade him now

    Does Rose’s recent play (since the playoffs) affect Jimmy Butler expendability with the Twolves? I mean fluke games happen, Brandon Roy had one against the Mavs before he retired but D-Rose has looked very good for a good amount of games now.

    Gotta think after night with how hard the Minny fought, that might see it as a sign to move on from Jimmy, even though Jimmy carried them the other night against LA.

    It also was Halloween so people may have stayed home to actually trick or treat.

    Its taking too long it will be hard to incorporate him now. But on the good side of things we have a coach that can switch whole defensive system in just 2 practices so it might work

    They are currently closer to winning the lottery than winning a championship.

    I don't mind a loss ... in a hard fought game but they really haven't been competitive.

    They have a point differential of -10.5 …. Only the Suns are worse at -12.1.

    The MVP is on the shelf and that point gawd is not posting W's.


    How the hell does a team with CP3 struggle to score to this extent ?!
    15 21 26 23
    30 31 22 30
    29 15 22 23


    7 of their last 12 quarters they have failed to reach 25 and twice posted only 15. (3 of those 7 Harden played).

    Couldn’t find the random trade thread but do anybody think we should consider looking at trading for Wes Mathews. He’s a big salary expiring contract. Maybe he can replicated what Luc and Ariza brought to our system. A post up perimter shooter and gritty smart defender. Mavs not resigning him and he isn’t in the plans for the future.

    they are coasting to avoid injuries
    its not a time for cp3 exert himself to go nuclear and gets injured trying to win meaningless rs games
    we lost luc last year and the title playing a 'hard fought' meaningless game long before the games that counts
