- Evan Mobley, Darius Garland and De’Andre Hunter are all out tonight.
Golden State Warriors @ Minnesota Timberwolves – 6:30 PM PT / 9:30 PM ET
- Game 1, series is tied 0-0
Tough night for Ty Jerome. 1-14 from the field, ouch.
Wow!
Sure would be nice to have a player like Haliburton.
Sorry to say. That trade looking quite lopsided now.
1 player: Pretty much a stat filler
The other: Who just keeps winning big games and big series’s.
Indiana knew exactly what they were doing.
Come on, we’re not permitted to talk about that around these parts.
Compare the rosters and coaches .
I wish we had the most overrated player in the nba on our team.
I just enjoyed the Pacers in Indianapolis at a sports bar. The crowd lives Tyrese.
Imagine having Fox and Hali on this team instead of the empty stat stuffers MM accumulated (Lavine, DDR, MM, Domas).
But this owner (yes, I’m about to be negative and derogatory about Vivwreck) somehow couldn’t see how those 2 could play together.
So the Kings passed on Luca and traded Hali because they were too stupid to see what could work and they thought Fox was the man.
Then, they traded him for crud.
it is such a Bummer that Haliburton is no longer a king. They had him. It is a worse error than not drafting Luca because of that. Too bad.
MM/Vivek could have sat on their bums and did nothing since drafting Haliburton and we’d be in a much better position today. It’s sad how inept those two are.
Fox/Hali/Luka
I don’t know if it would of worked, but it should be what the core of the roster was
Then we could trade for Davis, Sabonis and LaVine!!!
Damn, imagine having only 44 pts at half and still be up double digits on your opponent, that’s wild.
No Steph tho?Can they keep MIN down without Steph?
I think so. As much as I love Antman he’s not great shooter (streaky) and needs more shooters with him in Minni.
They are gonna get stuck until they get a bit more shooting -I think
Can we rehire Monte McNair so we can fire him a second time for trading Tyrese Haliburton? Most overrated player in the NBA? Yeah, sure.
We were always trying to find a way to urge him to be more aggressive and take more shots…and to think all we had to do is convince the league to say publicly that he’s overrated.
We should get a “Keegan Murray Is Overrated” billboard going downtown
I don’t think he’d be the same player if we’d traded fox instead and Hali stayed in Sac. First bc we suck at player development. Second, I think getting traded gave him a chip on his shoulder that made him more assertive on court.
Either way, we’d still be in basketball hell.
I think Hali would be awesome anywhere. He looked great w the Kings. You could see it in him.
But definitely would not have blossomed as much here…not won as much etc.
These are excuses for VivMonte’s piss poor decisions.
Haliburton is self-motivated, he didn’t need to be traded to be who he is today, give me a break.
My impression is that the only reason McNair got rid of Haliburton is because the owner and the organization wanted to keep Fox and or thought that the two of them couldn’t play so we take the bar at a fox his hands.
Looked like a Vivek directive to me
It was a great shot, it wasn’t a great overall game…I don’t get why people glaze it so much lol
He is almost always the 2nd or 3rd leading scorer on his team, as he was last night 3rd…yet gets all the cred, that’s why he was #1 on that list
