Timberwolves gone wild. Trade 9 players, blowout the Clippers. Life at Target Center is good again for one day.

Pistons trade Andre Drummond for two expiring contracts and a likely late 2nd round pick in 2023. Tough times for Detroit sports fans.

Sounds like Jimmie Butler is recruiting Embid to the Heat for next season.

Hopefully he takes the rest of the team too. Time to start a new process. The last one didn't work.

I was just reading about Michigan's Senior Night and found out John Beilein had resigned from the Cavs a few weeks back. Guess I don't follow pro basketball closely enough.

Pistons suck anyway, might as well end the season now.

I'm sick of this Spirit of Fear Roller Coaster. They're cowards, IMO....

They are trying to keep the Covid 19 virus from over taxing the healthcare system and spreading to people that may not survive. Instead of having 10 people show up to use the 3 ventlators at a hospital, like in Italy, they hope to have only 2 or 3 show up to use the 3 ventilators. Italy has had many deaths because they could not handle the numbers.

Get rid of baseball and golf and we'll have a hat trick of positive things.

There's nothing better than World Series champions and the Master, US Open, The Open and Ryder Cup.

There's nothing better than the Final Four, Super Bowl, College Football Championship and Stanley Cup. The World Series champions and the Master, US Open, The Open and Ryder Cup are slightly more interesting than watching paint dry.

It's happening. Sixers hype is starting up. Guy makes a great point in this article - the NBA, when it starts back up, is going to be rusty. Shooting will likely be for crap, old guys will take awhile to get warmed back up again, and there will be a premium on scoring at the rim and playing defense. Basically, bad, grind it out basketball. And there's no one, and I mean no one, better suited for crappy outside shooting, get to the rim and play really physical defense, than the Philadelphia Sixers.

So you're saying that "The Process" needed a global pandemic that will kill thousands for the Sixers to have a reasonable shot at winning a title? I'm not sure I would trust that kind of "Process."

Sam Hinkie is looking like Nostrodamus right now. What foresight to see this amazing combination of things to happen.

Imagine how good they'd be if Simmons could shoot a three. How's Hinkie doing on the latest McCollum trade proposal?

You're missing the big picture here, shooting is going to stink in the Orlando/Disney bubble, it's all about the grind now. Sixers are primed for this.

No shooting rust here. Lillard will be coming out of the gate shooting from Okefenokee (or OB1-Kenobi, or Manu Ginobli, or whatever they call it down there).

He might as well, it could be a real short stay at Disney for the Blazers, they're still on the outside looking in for the playoffs. Start shooting early and often.
