Lots to love about last night

- more signs that Jalen Green is maturing and can be THAT guy. Love that he isn't settling, and finally taking what the defense gives him
- Sengun taking it to Lebron in the post and getting the best of him a couple times was nice. Pretty sweet double double from him
- really solid performances form Martin Jr. and Christopher

The Lakers are so pathetic. I love it.

Jalen is looking really good after the all star break. And so are the other rookies. Saw this posted on Twitter. Pretty cool stat

Seeing LeBron passing up shots and getting posted by Al P and hearing Jalen say the plan was to go after Carmelo did two things for me:

1. Makes me love the young guys even more.
2. Makes me sad for my fellow older millennials who are realizing our primes are a thing of the past.

Beating the Lakers (even though they aren't very good right now) and the Grizz in recent days, and looking good while doing it has me more optimistic about our future. Love that Jalen is finding himself and it looks like Sengun is going to be a stud.

These guys could be fun to watch for a long time to come.

$100/each for 4 tickets to the game tomorrow against the Mavs (Friday 3/11). Section 103, row 14.

Way below what we paid but really needing to sell these. Any takers?

I would love to see em lose in the play in tourney as the 10 seed. If we could swing a lotto pick out of em that would be glorious. Worst case scenario imo they win the play in tourney and exit first round. Still a decent pick.

TS% for the season is up to 54.4%

Higher than booker, Beal and lavine in their rookie season

So are we just goi g to have to pay John Wall another $47 million next year to not play? Can't imagine we can trade him.

Not really a tiebreaker. If we tie, they just split the ping pong balls evenly.

But who gets the guaranteed top 5?

The team with the worst record. It would be very unlikely that if two teams tied for the worst record that neither would a top 4 pick.

But if for some reason it happened. It would basically be a coin flip to see who got #5 and who gets #6.

Green with 41 yesterday. He's gonna be a star.

Hopefully, H-Town gets the #1 pick. Who should they choose?

Hopefully, not Holmgren. He's got bust written all over him. Too skinny. I'd take Banchero or Jabari Smith.

To me, Banchero tops out as a Battier. I prefer Smith. I agree Holmgren looks like bust potential, but this team needs a shot blocker tremendously and his other skills are a huge bonus. Can you imagine a Gobert on defense with a Durant lite on offense? He could be that. In that sense, I wouldn't fault them by taking Holmgren. But that's a scary ass pick.

Each of the top three has their flaws.

I think Holmgren has the most upside. If he can add strength he is a high level two way player. Boom or bust.

Banchero is very skilled offensively, but is a limited defender and may be a little too much of a ball stopper on offense.

Smith has a nice floor as a stretch 4 with some defensive versatility, but he didnt have to play in the paint a lot so Im not sure how much upside he really has. Not sure how much of a post game he ever ends up developing.

Id probably lean Holmgren for overall upside, but I dont have any strong opinions beyond that. Its definitely a step down from last year's class. Glad we have a strong core to build around already. Reduces some of the anxiety around the lottery and what specific pick we land.

Salivating at the thought of a Holmgren/Sengun front court. Then Jalen and the guards cutting all over the place. If Jalen's jumper sticks, we might be cooking with gasoline in three years.

Its a tough call with these three. I've been leaning Jabari lately due to his shooting ability and perimeter defense.

I'd like to see us nab Mark Williams with the Brooklyn pick.

They are going to throw in the towel and blow that team up sooner rather than later. Let's hope KD wants out immediately.

24 and 26 picks could be nice. Hopefully we are good enough for the swaps to be worth it

Assuming NYC does not extend the vaccine mandate another year, anyone want to start a pool on the reason given for the large number of games Irving misses next season?
