Wow.
I kinda wished he did that for us in the small moments he was a Knick.................this has been a slow, ugly rehab process for the guy AND it is only now in Minnesota under his former coach Thibs that he is starting to regain himself

Most players with his [career] injuries would’ve retired a long time ago.

I would love to see Milwaukee walk into Boston and blow the Celtics completely out of the water.

I think what made it incredible was that Rose had the game-winning block to seal the win for Minnesota as well...........so hell, everything was perfect for him that night.

De'Aaron Fox's evolution has begun.........clocking in damn near 18/7 per game as the starting PG before tonight's game (I saw Fox dropped about 30 pts and 15 assts tonite, so his averages will rise again), and as you've stated the team is winning

Tao. Wild guess: Fox.

We might’ve missed out on those two Kentucky Wildcats [Fox and Monk], but we nabbed one the following draft in Kevin Knox.

Not bad, not bad at all.

Magic Johnson will sign anyone, it appears, even players that should’ve BEEN retired. It’s the equivalent of owning a limousine in LeBron yet placing used tires on it.

BTW, Jamal Murray scored 48 points last night against Celtics. https://nba.nbcsports.com/2018/11/06/mu ... s-115-107/

If I’m not mistaken, Murray is the first round draft pick Nuggets received in the Carmelo trade. Y’all still believe New York won that trade?

:? Tyson Chandler has still been very productive the last few seasons, he is just too old for the Suns' youth movement.

Shocked at how well Rose is currently playing. I honest to God didn’t know he had much of a long ball. Then, I figured it was just a matter of time [and this sentiment could still hold true] before he and Butler clashed.

At the same time, it’s crazy to see both he and Butler play well [on a team starring two number 1 draft picks] yet still lose to the Lakers.

Like, how?

On another note, James Jones is Phoenix’s GM.

James. Jones.

James Jones at the interview

"You know why LeBron really kept me around all these years right? I wasnt just a great locker room presence, I am, but its not just that. You know how some fans call LeBron LeGM? Actually he was asking ME all these years what to do with the franchise. Those chips are all me. 8-) "
