Currently going against the Timberwolves tonight.

Haven't had a chance to watch them this year. I should check them out soon.
They will frustrate you if you're rooting for them. The defense they play at times is stifling. They have shooters who are progressing, but definitely not there yet. LBJ is playing off the ball and you can tell he's holding back so the kids can develop. I'm not convinced they're a playoff team this season. It should be close.
But...Ingram looks like he's going to be a legitimate second star type of guy. Kuzmo...I'm not sure about him, but his floor is high. His ceiling isn't too bad, either. Lonzo ball is shooting decent from three, and the weight he gained is letting him press the ball without getting knocked around. McGee is actually playing at a high level and sustaining it. Some of the blocks he makes are stupendous...but god some of those goaltends are just shit. I'm not complaining though because he's playing his ass off to net a big contract. He might get a nice on.
They are entertaining.
Aren't the Lakers the epitome of fad? Besides LeBron, what redeeming qualities do they possess?

They have several veterans (Rondo, McGee, Stephenson) playing hard as hell because they are on one year deals and could get solid deals after this season. They have Ball, who is working hard at improving and much better at defense, marginally better at shooting (not hard as he was awful) and a gifted passer trying to find his way.
The roster has promise and could be a playoff team. The plotlines are incredible. The product on the court is watchable.
I love watching them.
Hawg. Check out the nuggets. Seriously other than the warriors they are the most exciting watch in the league. Nikola Jokic is a new kind of player.
