As much as i want to watch basketball they should have just scrapped the season and put a asterix in the record books. Does winning a chip this season have the same luster as any other year? Prolly not.

I saw Adam Silver on a news program say that the winning Team of this Bubble Ball should be given “extra” credit because this has been so difficult with the delay. I can buy some of that, but finishing up with games that look like glorified pick-up games in empty buildings just doesn’t cut it, even though a lot of the season had already completed under normal circumstances.

Sorry, it’s an asterisk champion this year for me.

Also, on a side note - this baseball season is a complete and utter farce. It will be criminal if they call it a World Series.

GO WOLVES!! :thumbsup:

I actually really like the set up (court). Looks very appealing on television.

The way they are using Microsoft Teams to put fans in the stands is cool.

These games have been so good. Cut out the absolute worst teams, bring back the competitive ones, add in that all these players are incredibly amped to play, and the games have been awesome.

THey stopped the crowd track in OT on ESPN. Much more intriguing hearing the chat on the court.

The way he was used here last season, I don’t. He was a terrible fit in the Wolves system and it’s roster at that time. He was wasted here and he was miserable.

A lot of folks eating crow about Kuzma.

Not saying he’s better than Beas and 15, but damn, his shooting is absolutely nutty right now.

I never heard that rumor. I would have preferred Kuzma over Beasley and i really like Beas.

I don't believe forna second the Lakers would do that trade though and i don't believe Rosas wouldn't have taken it if it were available.

Also never really heard Kuzma come up. I love that kids game. Very vocal guy too, which I like...I'll take Beasley though in hindsight, after seeing what he could do in this offense.

i wouldn't get too revved up over two games where he scored 16 ppg on good shooting. he's up and down with lots of holes in his game. he had two games in a row this season back in january where he scored 62 points on 24 of 46 from the field - then he'll disappear for awhile with some stinkers. there's a reason why he went 125th in the froobdraft.

Non-contact, MRI tomorrow. One of those injuries where even a non-expert is thinking it has to be a torn ACL. It was bad, if you haven't seen it.
