That's another "How the hell did we lose that?" Up by 5 with under a minute to go and then 2 ridiculous turnovers.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss three 1-1 draws.
The first got us knocked out of the FA Cup, the next puts us in a good position in our Round of 16 Europa League game, and the latest was an actual decent performance against Arsenal at Old Trafford.
All hopes for the season now rest on the Europa League - does Amorim have the squad to win it?
If the Wolves can find a younger guard that can emulate Conley than they probably are at the start of something serious. Conley is so good but he is bound to decline.
Haliburton going nuclear again. He seems pretty much unstoppable right now.
Edit: Jimmy Butler stepping up.
Real fun game.

No clue who this guy Mitch is, but he seems quite the good guy...
KAT being at his best offensively while also maintaining a high defensive level is amazing. My faith in him is coming back.
Wolves on the whole have been surprisingly brilliant. I hope you keep it up tbh. It’s always nice to see new faces at the top. It’s a breath of fresh air.
It's only surprising because they are not followed or covered by NBA's main media outlets. The Wolves when healthy were one of the best teams in the west during the past two years, they were also generally very good against good teams and too often mediocre against really bad teams which was largely a byproduct of being a team with a young core. The additions of Conley, Kyle Anderson and Gobert matured it, especially Conley.
Now the team has at least three major flaws, a lack of shooters, a lack of primary ballhandler depth and Edwards/Towns are the team offense. On paper a back up guard could fix all these flaws but who is it going to be?
People tend to ignore that the Wolves had 42 wins with KAT missing 52 games and KAT was and probably still is the most talented and consistent player in the team.
I mean yeah that's fair enough. I'm a hater by nature and I was too busy clowning KAT or trying to find things to clown him for when I watch the Wolves to ever really notice if the team was the real deal or not

That's what most people seem to do.
The funnier and frustrating part about it is that people tend to imagine the opposite about KAT, as an example you easily see people claim that KAT is soft when his number one flaw is that he tends to be way too physical which sees him in foul trouble within the first quarter. He is also convinced that he isn't committing those blatant fouls.
I hope I'm not getting lumped in with "most people."That's what most people seem to do.
Like I said to you nearly a month ago, was really impressed with them.Could be the "Year of the Wolf."

Could be the "Year of the Wolf."
I was thinking about people in general whether we are talking about social media, professional media or bloggers. In fact Teague made a funny yet accurate comment.
While KAT doesn't help himself with some of the things he does, when fit KAT has always been one of the best offensive players in the league and he is also extremely efficient, he isn't a stat padder and he isn't selfish on the court. Defensively he isn't a drop coverage big which is something previous coaches have tried to impose on despite the fact that they saw him play far better defense higher in the paint or on the perimeter.
Worth watching now and then
And he did it in a league built for centers, in the era of the greatest centers ever, with Bill Cartwright at center.
Warrior fail at the final hurdle…Steph finding Draymond for the final shot, who duly bricked it
Damn, we've blown a lot of games this year. Another 1 point loss.
24 and 22 point leads blown this week is crazy, feels like the Warriors aren't a million miles away from being a really good team but are currently are definitely not one.
15-4. For many fans it may not read like anything special but for the Wolves it's banner-worthy.
I think they are actually close to being a contender this season but are just lacking a final bit of consistency and some weird choking in tight games.
New York Knicks centre. Pretty solid shot blocker.
That’s practically crying out for Kyrie.
Worse. I wouldn't mind Westbrook splitting minutes with Conley and I have been a hater for nearly a decade.
Westbrook can’t shoot.
Find a way to get TJ Mccconel. He’s being overshadowed because he’s playing Halliburton’s backup, but he’s honestly starter quality.
By shoot, I mean literally someone that is willing to shoot. The team already has efficient shooters what they lack is someone that can create his shots with the second unit even if it's not that efficient since we are talking about the 7th or 8th man in the rotation. So someone like Westbrook is on paper good enough when you consider the entire package, he is a willing shooter and passer.
As for McConnell on a paper he would be perfect but he is too expensive. The players I have had in mind are Tre Jones or Bones Hyland. Both are backups for their current teams and the later fell off the rotation.
He's on a lot of money
Westbrook is a better fit for San Antonio
Shooting 36 % but still winning. This should be a blowout but we'll take the win. Lebron is freaking amazing.

Lebron was fantastic. Not a fan of the way the game ended though. Ball was definitely loose in my opinion.
Yeah awful call that should have been reviewed straight away.
At last, we won a close game.
First Clippers win vs Nuggets in 2 calendar years.
What happened to Josh Giddey? (I don’t mean the off the court stuff). He was a really good piece for OKC last year. He’s borderline unplayable right now.
Man, how many guards would you categorically take over Haliburton at the moment?
Luka, Steph … maybe Shai and Booker but that’s literally the end of the list. His growth has been brilliant to watch.

He's class. I'd take him over Shai, Steph and Book right now. Steph is an age thing, he's a much better playmaker than the other two even though they've both incredible top.
Put some respect on lebrons name. I was one of those laker fans who preferred Kawhi back when we first got Bron but how wrong was I. To be balling like this, leading like this, embarrassing fools like this is some legendary shit.
I hope he keeps it up because my god, he's incredible to watch and the Pacers are legit the most entertaining team in the league.
Lebron is rolling back the years this season. When we played the Lakers earlier this season without AD and it was an embarrassing blowout win for us, most people ran with the narrative that this was AD's team and Lebron can't carry the team anymore. Lebron has been on a tear ever since.
I'm giving up commenting on ways to lose. Another overtime loss with 35, yes you read it right, 35 turnovers.

Its not really a trend for you this season since getting CP3 right
Losing close games is or throwing away leads is.
Wiggins needs to benched asap. Since his family issues last year, he is not even NBA starting material.
It's been better at times. Tonight was a horror show.
Was thinking about turnovers
