Has also been one of the few guys who have been able to space the floor for us.

Guys Jovic is hurt, he twisted his ankle that's the reason he hasn't come back in the game.

He seems to be already doing so! 24 shots for 21 points

That team was well constructed and has very few holes, especially if you compare to our continuous refusal to upgrade or even get pieces that fit. Boston is just not mentally tough and very soft. But no one in the East can really challenge them like that except for us. But we have every hole in the world compared to them roster wise so it doesn't even matter.


Even if they go to finals, they would get size outmatched like what happened to us. We just don't have the personnel to punish them inside. The Wolves or Nuggets can take them out in 5 or 6 games.

Its definitely the Wolves or Nuggets chip to lose.

No point playing the blame game today boyos. This isn't even a playoff team with 3 starters missing, let alone going up against a historically good regular season team. Like I said, we already won by winning game 2 and not getting swept. Porzingis injury was a cherry on top. There's still time to get JT/JB/Klingon. Code. Mfkn. Red.

Niko better play every min of the rest of this game. Might as well give him this chance, since we aren't winning this game down 30.

Just got home from work. Anything interesting happen? I was expecting a shellacking anyway.

And I looked up the roster. Beasley started 78 games in 2009. It was the most on the time. I remember at the time saying Spo didn't give him a chance. Beasley just didn't live up the expectations of the 2nd pick. Not sure how you can say he didn't get a chance when he started 78 games. But I digress....

He wanted an offense tailored to his strengths like in KS.


He wasn't anywhere close to a #1 option in the NBA. How many teams did he end up playing for 5-6?

I will say when I see anything about "who would be a better player in today's NBA" that Beasley is one of the first guys that comes to my mind. He was 10 years too soon. He was a combo forward who couldn't play with the big 4s during his era and couldn't keep up with the 3s on the wing. Today he'd probably be a decent 4 with more teams playing smaller and his lack of defense and rebounding at NBA level wouldn't have mattered as much.

I'm surprised that he hasn't put up a dozen three pointers. Haymakers are all we have left.

I don’t really have a rooting interest for the rest of the playoffs. It’d be hilarious to see Ant run through everybody, but then we’d never hear the end of it from Wolves fans…

Welp! Team Meteor once more!

I love Ant but they’re already saying he’s better than young Wade, if they win it’ll be unbearable

Anyone but the Celtics, lol. In the east, It would be fine if the Sixers make it, since Maxey is likable and a Heat fan growing up.
