People are saying a lot of them are fouls or goaltends. Still impressive even if like half are legit although it probably wouldn't be a record.

The most impressive thing is Minnesota winning. Something is going on up there.

I think a huge part of the Minnesota thing is that they have THE alpha dog of the NBA.

He's a top 5 player for sure, but I think he's the closest thing among that younger generation, from a mentality standpoint, to being that killer that we used to see a lot more of in the 80s and 90s.

He's special.

SGA plays in OKC.

But Edwards is the closest thing out of the Americans, although I'd argue SGA is basically American.

SGA is right there too, but I feel he's more confident than a killer, if that makes sense.

I'd say Edwards has that MJ/Kobe mentality whereas SGA is more Steph Curry/Luka in that they just know they're so good and it allows them to basically become unstoppable.

Either way, these are the two guys who are on a different level from everyone else -- the guys you have the utmost confidence in at the end of a game to get you a win.

They are playing really well.

I wouldn't go that far.

He played 25 minutes and scored 18 points.

That's a significant contribution.

I'm talking about the Denver series not San Antonio. Although only playing 25 minutes against San Antonio is also an impressive win.

But against Denver he missed 2 games and they closed it out without him. They've also been without DiVincenzo for several games now.

Dosunmu missed the last few games of the Denver series too.

I think it's going to catch up to them during this series though, they're basically having to out tough, out hustle and out physical teams right now and unless the Spurs cower I don't see it working against them over 7 games.

Bulls getting the 4 pick is nice, I'm very high on Wilson and might even have him 2nd after Dybantsa. @Smitty

If he's even there.

Wouldn't shock me to see him pass Boozer in the pre-draft process.

Boozer I think, like his father, becomes a nice NBA player but not a star.

Wilson could be like Antawn Jamison.

I'm fine with either, I think Boozer has a lower ceiling than Wilson but a higher floor. Probably a guaranteed 2-4X All Star at least.
