    I agree 100%. I don’t think Curry has looked very good, especially the last 2 games. But I see how the other teams react when he gets the ball in his hands. He scares the shit out of them just on his last name alone. We haven’t had a psych out guy like that since we had Steve Kerr for a year. Curry definitely makes the defense paranoid and that’s a good thing.

    It feels so right to see the Timberwolves management be completely fucking clueless and inept.

    They did mention Trent’s first bucket. At least during the TV broadcast.

    Yeah. It was a lame foul call. The fans let the officials know, too.

    Haha I loved it. If Meyers plays like he did last night (without posing) the crowd will love him. The put backs. The rebounds. The monster jam attempt. The technical. Every one of those people probably dogged on Meyers in the past, but deep down the Portland soccer mom fans felt bad about picking on the special needs kid and are happy for him.

    Was it genuine or in jest? Felt like it was more sarcastic on TV

    They did mention Trent's first career bucket, mentioned he got it in front of his dad. But just once. And the shoes thing was stupid. Calabro made a comment about it and Hurd just kept going on and on about it. I thought it was a really ageist attack on Calabro, frankly. Like, your old so your opinion doesn't matter. It was way over done.

    I think the actual chant was somewhat satirical, yeah. The applause wasn't though. If he keeps playing like that, he won't get another sarcastic chant, but the fans will definitely get behind the feel good story of Meyers Leonard grows up.

    :cheers:

    That is exactly why he got the T. He disrespected the ref, not the player.

    KAT and Wiggins have an opportunity to prove Butler wrong. Lacking the intestinal fortitude to do so, they instead prove him right. Glad those two aren't Blazers.

    I'd rather have my hour of daylight in the morning than at night. I'm not a morning person, and I need it to get me going. I get that I'm probably in the minority opinion though.

    Wolves are a disaster.
    Thibs the wrong coach to help these younger kids through it. Hes old school tough. KAT and Wiggins are....not.
    Butler is as tough as they come and spent last season dealing with it. Now hes done. He isn't handling it well but he cant stand his team.
    The whole thing is a mess.

    They should bring KG into the front office. Tougher than shit and also relates to players. Might be a good bridge. MN loves him. KG was an ass to play against but universally respected.

    Hard to do when the coach continues to enable the guy chastising them. I can see it both ways. If my colleague is talking shit about me to everyone and is bending every rule possible (missing games/skipping practices/etc etc), and my manager turns a blind eye towards it, and I know that the colleague and manager will both be gone long term while I have a contract to stay, I wouldn't give a shit either.

    What is it with the dude sitting in the middle chair for the outsiders trying to push his chest out for the entire show? That guy just looks like a complete moron trying to impress chicks or something? Dudes? :dunno:

    Classic case of someone who recently started lifting weights and is trying way too hard to show off.
