Going from playing Toronto to playing Milwaukee does not make me a happy Wolves fan. Hopefully Giannis is a little less "freak" and more "human" tonight.  :lol

Patience.  It's a long season.  If they drop a string of games early on against tough teams, there is plenty of time to climb back into the mix.  But I certainly understand the sentiment.  Seeing OKC, Utah, Denver, and Washington on the Warriors' schedule in the first five games didn't exactly thrill me.

Yeah, but your team is the Warriors, not the Timberwolves.  :lol

Giannis wasn't even a factor and the Bucks won by 30.   :)

I know I've mentioned it before, but people outside of Milwaukee just didn't understand how bad Jason Kidd was at coaching this team.  I don't expect this team to win 60+ games now, but they are legit to win the Eastern Conference now.

So during last year's playoff, I caught some grief by saying that the Cavs would still be a playoff team without LeBron.


They will DEFINITELY make the playoffs this year. Mark it down!!

Shall we assume their 0-5 start is a strategy where they make other teams think they are bad and think sneak up on them?

Suggestions for free online places to watch?  TSN is contracted to show MNF, and Sportsnet doesn't have Raptors rights on Monday's.  I don't have access to the Raptors game on local/broadcast TV.   >:( :censored

It's not free, but I believe you can purchase individual games from the NBA for six or seven bucks a pop. It's a terrible value if you are planning on doing it often, but for a game every month or so, might be worth it.

7th game of the regular season ain't worth spending any meaningful money.

I believe Kawhi is out too, so put another tally in the "skip it" column. :lol

Are they hurt, or is this just "rest?" If it is the latter, that is absolutely ridiculous. Marquee match up, with two of the league's best players, and they are healthy scratches? WTF?

Giannis got popped in the head Saturday night, he might be in concussion protocol.  Don't know about Kawhi.

Klay...was incredible. What a show.

Felt good for the Wolves to pop the Lakers in the mouth. Butler had ice in his veins, and KAT was a demon. Nice to get a win.

I am not happy with the NBA League Pass right now. In fact, I find the quality of their products in this season is only regressing.  >:(

Case in point, the Warriors @ Bulls game was not even in its entirety at all! The 1st qtr was either not in its entirety or was completely missing across different platforms (Apple TV, mobile and PC)! Yes, I checked them all! There is no excuse for such poor product, when they charge full price and kept promoting the 3pts FGM and all.

Worse of all, I was told starting this season they will no longer provide access to old games for international subscribers! I was not even told about this change, when they invited me to renew. Their CS is out sourced to a company called Zendesk; and they really can't do a thing for me. This is terrible!  :censored

Sorry to hear that. I took a chance and got League Pass again, after being disappointed and getting a refund on it last year. I think the quality still lacks, but it is better than last year. I hope the situation sorts out for you.
