The Non-Jazz NBA Thread in the Jazz Section

I called this but didnt think it was Ant who would come out first. I really dont like that. Its leadership.

However I'm fairly hopeful he cant get Randle to buy in on their last year's identity of "everyone plays hard on defense". Julius feels like the classic example of a "dude who just does his thing".
Lol Randle was better tonight. He fight like i never see him did before. ANT show leadership but it may not be enough. This team play with 2 inefficient players for their starters, Rudy because he don't see the ball much at that moment and Jaden who can't hit a bucket. I doubt ANT, Randle and Mike can fix it, considering also Randle no defense play..... without a trade for a better match than Randle, i see them at best in the play-in. Our pick should be nice this year, hope we choose the right guys.
 
Clips almost got the Wolves in Minny… no Norman Powell. Team is struggling.

NO lost again… lost to the Dickless Raps the other night. They are a problem… trust.

Calling them dickless when Grady is out is the greatest thing ever
 
The Brandon Ingram saga continues. How it ends is anyone's guess.

I would hate Ingram going to Minnesota for Randle. I am not sure he can because Minny is above the apron so they can't take on any additional salary but they are 2 stressed situations.

Ingram wouldn't be the worst sign and trade at the right price. Say... Sexton and Clarkson for Ingram?

I would expect Ingram would have to remain injured during the remainder of 2024 post trade otherwise it's a no go.

I would be shocked if Minny wants Ingram. They can't re-sign him. If they trade Randle, it will be for smaller pieces that are on decent contracts they can afford.
 
I would think someone like Jerami Grant would be the Wolves dream trade target for Randle.
Randles value is likely super low and he’s played well… I doubt they find anything good like that and I think he may not opt out.
 
Tim Hardaway jr contributed just 1 personal foul and 6 missed shots to the scoresheet in 20 minutes of PT.

He has been pretty useful for Pistons this season so I was rather surprised to see the Snell line.
 
KAT with 17 rebounds in 17 minutes at half against the pelicans is pretty wild, pelicans are small but still.

Also 28 points for the Pels at half is serious sicko ball
 
Jalen Johnson is really hitting his stride for the Hawks. He's averaging 20/10/5 and has his 3pt FG% over 37%. He's also playing a team-high 36+ mpg. This is the kind of player you'd hope Egor Demin can turn into.
 
Timberwolves defense is back. So what is it, are Gobert and Conley performing better than they started…or did Randle suddenly not become the worlds worst player?

My guess is Ant woke them up with his rant and everyone has stepped up their effort. Randle definitely had the most extra effort to give, but I think its probably a collective improvement.

As i follow all Minny games, answer is quite simple :

They decide to play finally defense. Randle is making huge effort and the rest of the team of the team as well. ANT score way less but do a fantastic job in defense. When their defense is at this level, they are really good. And they got more weapons at shooting than last year. To be confirmed but they will probably up in the rankings. Funny how things change fast in NBA. 4 games ago, they play as lottery team level and last 3 games as contender.

Rudy is huge, tonight he was dominating all people. Mike remain Mike, back to his usual level, father age may have to wait a bit more. Not good news for our pick.
