How Good is Good Enough? The Minnesota Timberwolves Are About to Find Out
Some words about the margin for error in a truly loaded Western Conference, the realities of parity under this CBA, and what going all-in really gets you

NEW POST! I've been thinking about the Minnesota Timberwolves a lot this offseason, so I decided to write about them. Here are some thoughts on the perils of going all-in, how the league may have already passed them by, and the realities of parity under this CBA:

Nobody expected the Raptors to be the second in the East a month in, and I think it's a lot to do with the fact that nobody expected Brandon Ingram to fit in this well. After his 37-point game last night, I decided to break it down on Substack.

Agnostic of the trade that landed him there, Derik Queen has been HOOPING for the New Orleans Pelicans. On Substack, I broke down his 30-point showing against the Nuggets, and what makes him so unique.
Also, here's a fun stat about his on/off numbers:

Keyonte George is averaging a career-high 23 points and 7 assists per game, yet his season has hardly been discussed. In an effort to change that, I broke down his performance last night. How his skillset is finally being actualized, and some areas of growth.

I guess I can't stop talking about the Pistons. Two-Way guard Daniss Jenkins has been one of the stories of the season, and his performance has helped Detroit keep rolling without Cade Cunnigham. I broke down his 26/8 against the Pacers, and why I'm so impressed.

Jalen Johnson is turning into an All-Star in front of our eyes. Those in the loop saw this coming a long time ago, but it's incredible to watch in real time. After setting career-highs in points, rebounds, assists AND steals last night, I had to talk about it.

Nikola Jokic absolutely obliterated the Clippers last night, but it was also the first 50-point game of his career that came in a win. On Substack, I broke down the Clippers' gambit, why they did it, and how they failed. (Plus, how laughably good Jokic is.)

I was in the building for Knicks/Grizzlies last night, and got to witness Mike Brown's philosophical shifts on full display. What really stood out to me was how much it seems to have amplified Mikal Bridges on both ends. So I did a film breakdown!

I love Javonte Green. I've been a huge fan since he was starting for Lonzo Ball in Chicago, and I'm ecstatic he's on a team where he has a chance to play meaningful basketball. His double-double in Detroit's win last night made me so happy, so I broke it down!

With Jalen Williams sidelined all season so far, the OKC Thunder have needed many players to step up. Arguably none have done it more than Ajay Mitchell. My latest film breakdown discusses his clean fit, and why I think he's here to stay.

Trendon Watford just posted his first career triple-double in his first start for the 76ers. I think it's the start of more to come. My latest film breakdown dissects his unique skillset, how he synergizes with Tyrese Maxey, and why he's so important to Philly.

I've felt overdue to do a film breakdown on Ryan Rollins for a while now, and last night's performance felt like a good time to finally do it. A few minutes on why he's such a good fit with Giannis, and the reasons his breakout is so critical for the Bucks.

The Portland Trail Blazers handed the OKC Thunder their first loss of the season last night, and Deni Avdija's fingerprints were all over it with a 26/10/9 statline. He's had a remarkable start to the year, so I wanted to break it down a little bit.

New film breakdown! Isaiah Stewart started at PF last night against the Grizzlies, and that *really* intrigued me. I broke down how he can make it work offensively, what it does for Detroit defensively, and why it could seriously impact their long-term ceiling.

New film breakdown! After Cade Cunningham's 30/10 masterpiece against the Magic, what stood out to me most was his 0 turnovers. With 22 through his first four games, I decided to go back and watch for any trends that could explain why this is still an issue.

In today's film breakdown, I decided to celebrate Aaron Gordon's career night. I highlighted how much of an outlier his development as a shooter has been the last few seasons, as well as why it may seriously impact the title race this season.

Jalen Suggs is back from injury, and demonstrated his value on both ends of the ball even on a heavy minutes restriction in Orlando's season opener. Here's a tidbit, would really appreciate checking out the full thing!
