Okoro and Strus aren't starter-level players. Mook and Thompson aren't playing on any of the other 7 remaining teams either. Same with Niang.

Maybe that's why the Cs are 1-1 and the Nuggets are 0-2.

No, the reason for this is that the Wolves are several orders of magnitude stronger than the Cavs. You need to draw smarter conclusions from your observations.

So the more timeouts you call, the better?

JT could learn a lot from him.

Kinda silly. It's Ant's first time around the block. Have to expect some swings. And the Nuggets are far better than anyone other than maybe the Knicks (apart from the Celtics) in the East.

Agreed, but a number of posters were saying Ant would never allow it. Every single star has up and down games and periods.

True dat. I think Ant is going to be really top tier - probably the best in his slot since SGA? But you have to have some down games to learn.

Like I said,
Budenholzer's turn next!
Some advice, don't buy a home in Phoenix Bud, as long as Durant is on the team you won't be there long.

He’s on track to be very special. Even when you’re at the very top, you don’t dominate every single game. Despite what MJ would have people believe, even he had down games, even in the playoffs.
I really think people need to reset their expectations of what a star player and great team is…JT is wonderful, we should appreciate him more. Sure it doesn’t make him immune from criticism or fans wanting him to be better, but the balance has gotten way out of whack IMO.
