The NBA superstar journey inevitably encounters a situation like Nikola Jokic has faced against the Wolves where their burgeoning legacies are perilously threatened.

by Zachary Cohen

Kel'el Ware has stretch center potential, while also possessing a floor as a playable rim-runner, which says a lot about him as a prospect.

The Wolves Owned All 4,700 Basketball Squares

Minnesota's defensive effort in Game 2 was a transformative sight. In what appeared to be an effort to become one with their team name, they swarmed, smashed, hounded, snarled, took, and destroyed for 24 straight minutes to start the game. Not an inch of the court was safe.

Devin Carter won't be a star, but he could certainly be a starter or high end rotation player with his ability on both ends of the floor and do all the little things.

I remember Billups being interviewed right after they were eliminated by Cleveland...He said he was just physically worn out...Tonight was another example of this...The tough defense played against him tonight,wore him out....At the end, he missed 3 free throws and shot an air ball 3 pointer(which missed by like 2 ft.)--shots he would have normally made.

All we have to do is take it to this team all 48 minutes,and they're finished...We only played like this for the first half in Boston--so,Chauncey and the boys were fresh for the finish....I hope Doc and the guys realize this and it's in their game plan from now on.

of course Detroit not having Lyndsey Hunter really helped tonight.

You are absolutely right, good call. I'm happy to say that Doc did realize this, because Dickerson reported it during one of his sideline reports that Doc told the team they needed to be more physical.
