    I maintain that Kobe did more harm for the development of American talent than any other NBA player.

    Halftime reporter "Houston's a good shooting team ..."

    I need to turn my audio down for a more enjoyable experience.

    Game was so awful NBA.com's boxscore is still stuck in the 3rd qtr.
    Game was so awful the broadcast stopped giving the score after buckets.

    T-wolves played a good game defensively. Hounded Reed all game and made him very uncomfortable. Handle has to get better. The 3-pt will be there with actual NBA talent players to help out offensively.

    But good god our scrubs were awful. Bricks for hands and no handles at all.

    Nate Williams desperation was obvious. He needs to just to be happy he even gets to be on our G-League team.

    Honestly with how horrible he started in the first quarter, he ended the game playing well. A bunch of TOs, but PG is the hardest position to play in the NBA. He will get better with experience. Definitely needs to work on his handles (which was a known weakness.)

    Reporters treating SL as a legit game.

    Guess what, the average age would go down to 23.8.

    Yeah, they started trying to get Reed help by setting screens to free him of the defense, but by the end of the game the TWolves were adjusting. It's good to see him fail a bit so he knows going into the NBA season where he'll definitely need to improve. In real games, he'll hopefully have Amen, Jalen, FVV, etc. helping handling the ball or available to pass to. But I don't know what what you can do about him not being able to split doubles or getting past defenders other than help free him. Still the game started like a bloodbath for him and ended pretty ok.
