Hubie sounds like hes on a ventilator and ready for a nap

And that’s a shame because Hubie always been my absolute favorite , after Fratello.

This is pretty damn good lol.

Was glad to see that nicca sprain his ankle.

[BarberSchool]

Alright grayson out boys. Now the suns make their run

He’s the only player on your roster that makes everything easier for everyone.
Without his shooting and annoying, overly physical ball pressure, where Durant and Booker gotta try to stop Ant, Phoenix is in big trouble.

Kellan Olson: Rudy Gobert: “Our focus and our urgency was obviously at an all-time high. I love how we respected the gameplan all 48 minutes, from the first to the last. We tried to not let them get a hot start like they did the three other games and just do what we do.” – via Twitter KellanOlson

Jared Weiss: Mark Daigneault, Chris Finch, and Jamahl Mosley are the finalists for Coach of the Year. No Joe Mazzulla, who definitely would rather it go to one of those guys anyway. – via Twitter JaredWeissNBA

Scott Agness: Pacers guard T.J. McConnell is NOT a finalist for the NBA’s Sixth Man of the Year Award. The final three: Malik Monk (Kings), Bobby Portis Jr. (Bucks), Naz Reid (Timberwolves). – via Twitter ScottAgness

the Suns gotta make sure their zone defense doesn't give away that many free throws and offensive rebounds.

I think Naz Reid deserves it just by the eye test. But Malik Monk deserves it too, and will get plenty of sympathy votes due to a heartbreakingly timed injury. Portis had several well-timed big games; with memorable and outsized spectacle surrounding them, so I think many media types will be victims of recency bias and give Portis extra votes.

Dane Moore: Kyle Anderson, who got hurt in the first half on Saturday and didn’t return, is here at Wolves practice getting shots up and appearing to be doing better. – viaTwitter DaneMooreNBA

So fun to watch Durant and especially Booker get a beatdown.

[SATAN]

Gonna be awesome seeing Durant on the Timberwolves roster next season.

[Real Men Wear Green]

Phoenix looking like the softer team early. Not sure how they do it but they should trade for Marcus Smart in the offseason. They need a point guard some attitude and some leadership. Smart has flaws but he will fit those three criteria.

Playoffs too much for Toody again?
