[The Great One]

Interesting.

[Joey]

We have the division, isn't that the first tie breaker?

That's what I was thinking. Chicago is 2nd in theirs.

Mavs-Thunder game had 3 guys in 30 and 7 guys with double figures.

If Jonas goes down Amir starts and TH and Patterson play more. Steins a won't play unless there's a plane crash

They ride in the same plane...

It's obvious, Drake is going to our starting C then.

Just want to know why Casey took him over Cherry, Hamilton and Whiteside if he never plays

It's not all about playing. Steimsma was brought in for other aspects, like a big body to throw against JV in practice and chemistry. It also sounds silly but bench celebrations are important. Who are the first people always up celebrating a big shot? Fields and Steimsma. Based on Whiteside's personality this season I can imagine him being extremely mopey on the bench.

Best thing to say about last night was the shot distribution. Look at the well-balanced attack.

Considering "depth" was supposed to be one of our strong suits this year, nice to see that our offence isn't completely funneled through just a couple of players.

Did anyone catch the TWolves telecast? The announcers were trying to justify the throng of Raptors fans in the house by explaining, "if you look at a map, Toronto isn't really that far from Minneapolis".

Gotta love American ignorance.

Compared to Los Angeles, TO and Minnesota are practically neighbours!!!

Did GV really lead the team with a +26?
