    This is the most anyone has ever discussed Kelly Oubre, on any medium, on any planet, in any universe. We did it.

    And not a single post about how you pronounce his name (Oo-burr or Oo-bray)?  I am disappoint.

    Welcome to the wolves pack, fam. Pull up a chair. Enjoy the winning streak being extended to 8 tonight.

    Progress is not always linear - sometimes you need to take a step back to take 2 steps forward I think the Wolves are a prime example.

    They took a step back last year from the 21-22 season as they were integrating Gobert and other parts.

    But so far (yes it's early), the vibes for Minnesota for 23-24 are immaculate and the Gobert trade won't look as bad as looked a year ago as all those Wolves picks that Utah received will be mid- to late first round.

    Dray Klay and Jaden mcdaniels ejected

    Dray's gonna go on social media later tonight and explain how putting players in chokeholds is just how he is.

    More than likely, though, is that Dray & Klay knew they had no chance tonight w/o Steph so they wanted no part of getting bitchslapped by Ant again.

    Draymond just put Rudy in a 15 second choke hold. Wow

    Draymond is the bitter old man who is big mad that he can't do the things he used to do.

    The Warriors dumped a 130 million in money committed to a player that's not worth more than an MLE, for a 30m expiring deal with a player that will positively contribute. All for a top 20 protected 1st and a 2nd. A typical salary dump costs a team about a 1st for every 15-30m in salary dumped, and the tax savings from this is enormous for Golden State. There are very few teams that would have been in a position to take on Poole's 30m a year, they should have asked for more picks at the very least.  

    Yeah, dumping the salary is certainly a bonus for GS though Washington can afford it as they are going into full tank mode (and who better to do it with than JP?).

    But so far CP3 is looking as cooked as Klay and shooting the 3 about as well as Wiggins (both in the teens).

    But "one of the most lopsided trades of all time"?  I think that's a bit hyperbolic.

    Truly one of the most lopsided trades of all time,

    Not sure about that as this trade probably didn't move the needle one way or the other for both teams.

    Washington was going to be terrible, with or without the trade.

    And Golden State's time is at an end, with or without the trade.

    We can see the impact of coaching very clearly in this graphic.

    Udoka to Houston and Nurse to Philly (sans Harden) are massive, massive upgrades from a year ago and the teams are responding.  Whatever you think of Udoka as a person, he can coach.

    Conversely, we're seeing that the Bucks are trending in the wrong direction with Adrian Griffin.

  8. Sound on.

    It's always nice to see Draymond get put in his place.  And Ant is looking like he's going to be a fixture on All-NBA teams for the foreseeable future.

    Chet’s box score tonight was simply ridiculous for a rookies second game.

    As good as Paolo is, Orlando is going to end up regretting passing on Chet.

    It helps that Jarret Allen hasn't played a game yet, and the Cavs don't have a real center behind him. This was an issue last year when he missed like 30 games and they had no interior defense without him.  He has a huge impact on the team and creates a glaring hole when he's out. 

    Other sad/funny thing from last night was Okoro got elbowed in the head away from the ball and hit the floor in the paint. Chet drives from the outside to go try a short shot from 5 feet and lands on him and the ref calls a foul on Okoro for being in the shooters landing area...

    Also no Garland.

    But regardless of who was out, JBB is among the worst 5 head coaches in the association.  Ok, we're up by 10 with about 2 minutes to play and we're trapping off the pick and roll when we have the most switchable big in the game...leading to wide open 3s.  We saw similar collapses last year.  

    I mean, ffs, this is what JBB said after the game:

    “We gave up 3-pointers,” Cavs coach J.B. Bickerstaff said after the loss. “That’s the only way you get back in the game. We had some breakdowns that led to some open looks."

    Well, coach, why don't you do something about it?  Classic JBB - blame the players while taking no accountability himself.

    Oh yeah, and the refs who reffed last night's game should never be allowed in an arena again.

    Dude do y'all even read the fucking thread? 2nd fucking night of the season and it's like I'm playing cards with my brother's kids.

    Ha - skipped right over that one.  

    But like all the great ones, I need to pace myself so that by midseason my posts will be merely bad instead of atrocious.

    I think that's the case with most of the West.  The difference between a 3 seed and 10 might be if one guy misses 10-15 games because the West is that close.  

    I just remember watching OKC this time last year.  It was SGA, a 2nd year Giddey, and a gaggle of spares.  Then Jalen Williams got really good really fast and now Chet is in the lineup.  They've gone from a rebuild to a top team quickly.

    Kind of ironic that Billy Donovan, who wanted no part of an OKC rebuild, got spanked at home by OKC and getting into arguments with his players on the bench and asked to leave players only meetings.  And it's not even Halloween.
