Dear Leo, Is it time for you to retire from watching Minnesota Timberwolves games? All too many times this season, your wife has seen you keel over in pain after the final buzzer sounds in a Wolves game. You collapse to your knees and your forehead plops down to the carpet. You let out a […]

Ime Udoka has a type. Skill? What’s that? Shooting? In basketball? Why? Hustle? Welcome to the team. Jokes aside, an organizational emphasis on effort is not an inherent disadvantage. Last offseason, the Rockets overindexed on size and defense. I personally think it’s unfair to retcon a Dorian Finney-Smith signing that would have made sense if […]
