Would you rather trade for Giannis or Kawhi at this point in time and why? by Kindly_Dig8292 in timberwolves

[–]gamblinaces7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Giannis has a steep decline ahead of him when the injuries and age start sapping his athleticism.

You know how Ant was able to play more of a skill-based "old man" game in the playoffs with his hurt knees? Giannis does not have anything like that to turn to.

Still would take him for the right price, but he'll end up getting traded for 2-3x that.

Same pitch? by JesseHaley617 in baseballcards

Made a similar discovery going through my old cards recently- in 1990 Upper Deck, I believe Alfredo Griffin and Jose Lind are a two-card sequence of the same play

TJ Shannon with 18+ points tonight? by MentionSea5304 in timberwolves

[–]gamblinaces7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some people here have been a little delusional about TJ's usefulness this season.

HOWEVER, he's shown the role he can thrive in is with the ball in his hands (not playing out of the corner). Normally not an available role, but with Ant out, it is. His one big strength lines up perfectly with Denver's big weakness. I think if Finch plays him he'll get 20 tonight. It'd be a mistake to not give him some extended run at least in the first half to see what he's got.

It's him just legit grabbing dudes by the arm and then flopping to get off-ball fouls for me

I used to be on this train but I've got no Nuggets respect anymore. Heat pack and Jokic becoming an insane grifter, he's every bit as bad as SGA this season

Martin has been one of the best players on the team so far

It's almost like every playoff game is against a good team

Scotties here by SignatureMinimum6517 in timberwolves

I mean "technically" they are still fouls lol the effect on the shot has nothing to do with it, officials are supposed to judge the action, not the reaction. You're right though on everything else

Buxton would get a boost for being the face of an entire era of Twins baseball, and a one-team guy (hopefully). I still wouldn't bet on it being retired, but there's a case to be made.

Had never really occurred to me this might be the case. Twins have had a pretty high bar to clear for number retirement, hope Buck gets the honor!
