@run_bull_ I hope the Wolves resign him

Donte DiVincenzo’s reg season stats vs San Antonio Spurs Def would’ve been nice to have Ragu right now. - 16 PPG - 6.3 RPG - 4.7 APG - 1.7 STL - .7 BLK - 39% 3FG

@SWFLVIKINGS @run_bull_ People don’t realize how good they have it until it’s gone.

@run_bull_ Agree! I apologize for my harsh words towards him for the better part of the season. I miss Donte!

@nighthawksrn @REichten We miss him

@REichten Donte was important against any team we played I never considered him just a role player despite his contract. Series is not over but Finch may have been right calling the Heart & Soul of the team.

The other big issue is the Wolves are missing Donte who would have been especially helpful against this Spurs team and Ant is not 100% Trying to beat a 62-win team given the above was always going to be extremely tough. All but a few teams would have lost this series by now

@nighthawksrn @DaneMooreNBA @ChristopherHine The problem with podcasters and fans, they understand box score stats, but what they don’t understand impact and intangibles.

@DaneMooreNBA @ChristopherHine Can you really do a Naz segment and the corner 3 ball and the lack of floor spacing without mentioning the guy who was 6th in the league in 3 point shots made and how it has hurt this team in this series?

Today's show w/ @ChristopherHine - The Wolves lack of a No. 2 option in this series + The Randle-Gobert pairing underwhelming again (1:00) - The starting lineup change that I think makes most sense (14:00) - Naz Reid a bright spot in this series, why they would be in trouble without him (24:00) - Ant looking fatigued, the value of two days off before Game 6 + Game 7s are weird (30:00) - Gameplan mistakes a theme Game 5 and a theme of the season (42:00) YouTube: youtu.be/RBhzLFTo3j0?si… Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/7bf27j… iTunes: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cha…

@DaneMooreNBA SAS is just a better team with Wemby, there’s nothing more to it.

The Rudy Gobert minutes historically drop when there is not a center for him to guard or a non-shooter out there for him to lurk off of. Wembanyama doesn’t function like a center in San Antonio’s offense — he rolls and offensive rebounds, but he doesn’t lurk in the dunker spot; he gets right back out to the perimeter, where he’s most comfortable (and where Rudy would prefer not to be). And with Castle being enough of a threat from 3 that the Wolves haven’t yet been willing to lurk off him, there just aren’t that many minutes out there, outside of the Kornet minutes, where Gobert can provide his typical defensive impact. And then Wemby’s presence also blocks out a lot of where Gobert’s offensive impact is typically found — screen setting, offensive rebounding, finishing at the rim. Wemby blows so much of that up just by being as long as he is. It’s proving to be a really rough matchup for Gobert from an X’s and O’s sense. Kind of like the perfect storm of problems.

@nighthawksrn @DaneMooreNBA @ChristopherHine I’m not surprised.

@JonKrawczynski No Donte, no 3pts made, no space

Wolves are 4-15 from 3. Been a series-long problem.

@DaneMooreNBA Randle’s assists are down because of Donte’s absence.

Julius Randle only has 9 assists through 5 games in this series against San Antonio, after averaging 5 assists per game during the regular season (highest on team). Here's Randle on why those assist numbers are so low and how he gets back to being a playmaker in this series. "I'm not sure... Maybe get in more positions of playmaking. A lot of times I'm spacing or crashing the offensive glass."

@jjed89 @AdamSchefter @krisrhim1 lol, if the most qualified candidate gets the job, most of these guys wouldn’t be coaching. Take it from a Raider fan who been living this for years.

@AdamSchefter @krisrhim1 Most qualified candidate gets the job, candidate who has the right vision for the team gets the job. Can’t just hire someone so their feelings don’t get hurt.

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, who in March threatened potential civil action against the NFL over the Rooney Rule, said Wednesday that he has issued an investigative subpoena to the league. Story via @krisrhim1: espn.com/nfl/story/_/id…

@BLangbets @4thOfJuly365 7 & 8 already lost in the civil war, why would anyone think they can win anything?

@4thOfJuly365 Plot twist, 7-8 join forces to form 9 and run the table.

7 or 8.

@TotalProSports Only 74%?

Oh…

@nostalgiafkninc But not murder?

The greatest sin on earth is being fat

@sevenths_7 @omoelerinjare1 The white tow trunk driver should’ve read the sticker, he was in the wrong.

A woman parked in the wrong spot at an apartment complex. The parking spot owner complained to the facilities manager, who called a towing company. The tow truck arrived 2 hours earlier than the agreed time. After some arguments, calls, and denials, the car was released to her without any towing fee.

@omoelerinjare1 Tow trunk guy should’ve read the sticker. He was wrong

@nighthawksrn @NadineBabu Ant single-handedly tied the series 2-2. Randle didn’t take advantage of Wemby’s ejection.

@NadineBabu Ant is living his best life!! lol

ONLY Anthony Edwards 😂

@UncleFree1 @NBA__Courtside You are mistaken, only the media votes for after season awards.

@JohnnyRayderx @NBA__Courtside No I know that they have player voted awards separately like they do their own mvp vote etc

Joe Johnson mentions there’s not many white NBA players who are good defenders when discussing Austin Reaves 👀 “I gotta question. How many white defenders have we seen in the NBA… it takes a different type of brotha. I’m just keeping it real… Defense is a want to fellas. You gotta want to sit in that chair” (Via @NightcapShow_)

@UncleFree1 @NBA__Courtside You misunderstood google, the media votes for this award.

@JohnnyRayderx @NBA__Courtside They do player voted awards Google is free don’t not even top 40

@UncleFree1 @NBA__Courtside I’m sure if the players voted for all defensive team, Donte would have made it. Unfortunately, the media who’s not on the court votes for all defensive team.

@JohnnyRayderx @NBA__Courtside He’s an average defender I could name 30 guards that are better

@Gabbyguccii Triplets

I’m confused What does this mean

@UncleFree1 @NBA__Courtside That doesn’t mean he’s not a very good defender

@JohnnyRayderx @NBA__Courtside No he’s not he’s never made an all defense team he’s serviceable
