There’ll be some disputes and comparisons […] READ MORE
The Rockets Win Displayed the Timberwolves’ Biggest Issue Despite pulling out of Toyota Center with a victory, the Wolves win didn’t happen blissfully. The Wolves trailed starting from the game’s outset, which was odd considering the relative infancy of the Rockets roster. The Wolves were down by 20 early on at one point, and assistant […] READ MORE
When is Myles Turner not on the trading block? Turner and trade rumors go together like Converse and high socks. Been around forever, a classic. Made for each other. In 2023, it’s more of the same. He’s been a part of a turn-ed around Pacers team that’s four games above .500 so far. He and […] READ MORE
Which Eastern Conference Guards Should Be All-Stars? Is it already time for All-Star voting? Soon enough, everyone will be watching future basketball stars duke it out in March. Then not too long after that, it’s playoff time. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. The All-Star game is coming before both of those, and with an […] READ MORE
Rebuilding has a dreadful reputation. Seen as the antithesis of what makes a sports team, it’s usually managers not players, that support its existence. The truth is, things break down.

They got the opportunity against Boston on December 23rd. The Wolves were .500 going into the matchup but have naturally struggled against […] READ MORE
Expected to at least be in the running for the playoffs, the Toronto Raptors are 13-17 and tenth in the East. They’re surprisingly just six games ahead of last place Charlotte, and they’ve had a multitude of injuries and dysfunctionality in the young season. They are not an unskilled team, but they currently are a […] READ MORE
The Ringer just published their “Top 100 NBA Player Rankings.” Four analysts made the rankings: Rob Mahoney, Kevin O’Connor, J. Kyle Mann, and Michael Pina. I love all these guys, especially Mann.

Let’s check in on last year’s Western Conference 7-seed. As of December 6th, they sit at 11-12 and are currently seated in the 11-seed. Hardly where they wanted to be after the massive acquisition of Rudy Gobert over the summer. Now without $224 million man Karl-Anthony Towns for 4-6 weeks, what can we expect from […] READ MORE
