Quick question.......

Do NBA coaches have to wear suits anymore or is this just a COVID thing?

This guy looks like a fool in that getup. If it isn't moronic enough watching the players warm up with hoods on, now we have the coaches looking like 13 year olds?!? PFFTT!!!

He’s a pro player and he looks like one to me in that warmup jacket.

Hmmmmm....



I guess I’d prefer if there wasn’t a compromise here and Russell just met Finch in “I know my shit” land, but I’ll take what I can get.

Yeah I don't get it either. Best case scenario if we end up with the worst record is 40% we keep it.

We have zero chance of having a mediocre pick. We either have a great one or no pick at all.

That’s how protections work.

Considering we have the best odds of a top 3 pick, I find it unlikely we land outside the top 3

That’s false so good luck.

Top three odds are 42%.

turner's name was floated so often during the trading period - any chance we could get him in the offseason? wondering if we have any players they might be interested in if they are ready to move on - because turner/KAT to me seems a bit like a match made in heaven. picture a frontcourt of KAT/turner/mcdaniels and how different that would be defensively. myles makes $18M a season thru 22-23.

You also could have created a link to this site.

I ask myself the same question about so many here when it came to Culver.

He should have stayed in school and grew up a bit more before coming to the NBA. Me may been one of those guys that should have went the full 4 years.

He seems like a kid at summer camp not able to hang out with big boys yet and crying to go home.

Everything I’ve seen says the kid loves to be coached hard....well Finch is putting that to the test.....will Culver respond or will he fold.

GO WOLVES!! :thumbsup:

What mental mistake did he make? Only 2 possibilities- 1) gave up baseline- don’t think that’s an issue necessarily. That leaves we were in zone and he was playing man. ( I think that was prolly it. It looked like an extended zone except Launcho did go along with the switch???

Right I phrased it poorly. I guess 42% is not terrible but that is only if we finish with worst record right?

Oh I see man I’m old and haven’t followed lotto for years. Thanks for the info. 42% is something to hope for. I’m just trying to be ready to accept no pick

It's different since they flattened the odds of the lotto teams. Was that 3 years ago they introduced that?

Use to be 25/19.9/15.6?

And now 14/14/14

It's basically the "don't allow the Wolves the best chance" rule. Yet it worked out for us :shrug:
