Is there any timeline on the return of KAT or Lil Mac?

If we could just go on a run stringing together some wins we could get much better playoff positioning.

The west looks like a joke thus far.


It's a Grade 3 sprain. Don't expect him back anytime soon.

It's very serious. Come back too soon and you are almost asking for an Achilles tear.

Towns spoke up on this publicly for the first time recently. Said it was always diagnosed as grade 3. Said the original 4-6 weeks time frame came from an erroneous ESPN headline, which everyone went with. Nobody related to the Wolves ever said that, or has ever set a timeline. All Finch said about it as of last week was things are progressing as expected.

Personality and mannerisms similar to Torii Hunter.

That’s what I was talking about earlier too. He takes a thoughtful approach to the game that is rare for a 21 year old.

It doesn't help to take that conservative, nonsense approach to pull them when they do get in early foul trouble. Every player needs to learn how to play without fouling so much, but they also need to learn how to play when in foul trouble. How are they going to learn that?

And yes the recent games have shown there’s nobody to fear in the west. There are good teams, sure. But not unbeatable. Anyone Is capable of having playoff success. It’s wide open.

It’s not just a hot streak. He’s been on fire since late November.

I really think it’s his new role. He’s taking so much better quality shots and the heat checks are fewer and farther between.

After 49 games he’s shooting so far ahead of anything he’s ever done.

47/39/87.

The last couple of games or so he's been a real defensive presence. This is more like the Rudy I was expecting. Protect the rim, get a dozen rebounds, some blocks, 15 or so points just from pick and roll, alley oops and just being opportunistic.

That's all I want. That would be enough. But I want it every night. Mainly the defensive part.

Dare I say Dlo is looking not just serviceable but "very good".

Great win.

Ugliest game of the year.

Definitely not as bad as the losses to Detroit and Houston.

Magic are a fun, young team. They have crazy length and shooting ability in the front court and their guards are non-stop defenders. And they have a really deep bench.

They started the year rough, but are over .500 since the end of November.

Nothing against Orlando when I call the game ugly. It's more about the style of play. Klunky, out of sync, ugly to watch.

Yep, until the fight broke out, it was an excruciatingly listless game.

They dodged a bullet by getting to rout Denver’s B-squad. Now the next 4 games are a probably better manned Denver, Utah, Memphis, and new (and improved?) Dallas with Kyrie.

Buckle up.
