The quotes from wolves board are going to be an all time great read

Much like the “ Kessler needs to be benched until KO is traded “ thread

I am guessing this game just took whatever wind that was left in their sails and sent them treading

Anybody, including Kessler's mom, that tells you they saw this coming is lying. After the preseason, however, the clues were there.

his block numbers in college were solid but yeah

I actually still think most people aren't aware of where he will be in 5 years.

If I'm being honest, I wasn't sure if Kessler was really a first round pick in last year's draft. I thought his draft range started around 25.

Kudos on the true confessions there FM. And don’t worry my man, you’re still the draft prospect guru in my eyes.

Okay true story... way behind watching the game at the office and just finished. The app kept glitching and I swear I saw a final score of 128-126 for Minny... but wanted to ride it out and see how it ended... and then to my surprise we won and I literally couldn't believe it.

Walker Kessler revenge game!!!

Even now, I'm not sure Kessler is what Danny Ainge envisions as his ideal at the 5, but he's stuck with him now.

Kessler gives me tingles in areas not tingled in years. And he’s a rookie. We won that trade hands down. The kid is something.

that's why I gave him the nickname "Hearsky's Mom"

Sexton and Ochai both had really solid games without the Finnisher. I wonder if Hardy starts mixing it up a little bit giving Lauri some needed rest more often. I mean if the team can win some games and play well without him, they are going to be a lot better for it if his double teams start coming hot and heavy after the allstar break.

If you gotta be stuck with someone, I'd be glad it was Kessler

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Winning on FT's feels so underwhelming for what was a great game.

No way... it was poetic... WK has a 20/20 game and the guy they bragged about keeping missed the game winner.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Man think how good Ochai would be if he wasn't a bust (complete sarcasm for you folks that don't get it)








Maybe we should wait like 50 games into a rookie year before making bold declarations about a guy being terrible.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

I can't get over how effing good Walker was... from the grabbing contested rebounds and aggressively finishing to the passes in the middle of the court.... just wild stuff.


Ochai did more than just the 3 and D stuff (though the D needs work). That was super awesome. Anyway... lets clear some vets and let the kids run **** second half of the year... they lead us to the playoffs then so be it.
