Towns over about the last two weeks has been the guy we all thought he was going to be, and the one that GMs once voted as the top guy to build a franchise around He just outclassed the fuck out of AD.

Get him a big to play with! One that dunks, blocks, moves his feet and nothing else matters.

All I saw was down the stretch but AD floated looking for the ball late. That block of the 3 by Towns was the you fucked up moment. Thanks AD.

I like how Ryan just sprinkled some minutes for Deng, and how he responded by going 2 for 2, including a 3, with a +12.

We had to dust off Bernie Lomax. Let him mix it up. He was good.

Every year Karl has been in the league, I felt this little brother syndrome with him, when he played the other elite big men in the league from Kentucky...specifically with AD, and then when NO got Boogie, they just picked on him so much. Was great to see KAT being the alpha over AD today. Hopefully the little brother syndrome is gone.

What a game by Karl.

Also shout out to Luol Deng changing the game and giving us the momentum.

Wiggins needs more heart, Teague needs more guts, Okogie needs more experience/brains, and Rose needs to stay home, sounds like a trip to the wizard is in order.

Great game for Kat and a nice bounce back from Saric (who still needs to step up and break through for the wolves.) We need big shot Bob back and KBD needs a few minutes per game (maybe Deng as well based on his performance tonight.)

Ryan must read this board because yesterday I said he should be screaming for the timeout late game with Okogie maybe going out of control, this time he did.

Taj keeps playing this solid and he could fetch a high trade price. Not only can we get a value player back, but it would create PF minutes for AT and create a better starting unit with Saric.

Teague will probably be exercising that 19 million dollar player option in the summer. Uneven year for him with injuries and reluctance to shoot 3s but also some good penetration too.

I don't know that Ryan Saunders checks this board, but if he does, then he listened to me. I said in the Wolves vs Mavs thread, call timeout when this situation involves Okogie.

I’m good friends with Ryan and he told me to tell winforlose that he appreciates your tip. It saved the day.

Lol, I like that. If only he had done it against the Mavs he might still be undefeated. In all seriousness, if we can just teach Okogie how to defend after being picked, and get his shooting percentage a little higher, this kid could/will have a very bright future.

It would be the funniest thing if Ryan actually read this board and took our advice.
