Think of the playoffs like a video game from edwards perspective. Level one, Durant and booker. Level 2, jokic and Murray. Next Alexander and holmgren. Boss fight Tatum and brown. Game over.
Does everyone still think Jokic is in the GOAT conversation for centers?
It's why you can't anoint people after a couple of years like they did Jokic.
Minnesota figured out how to stop him.
Now Jokic is suddenly human.
I mean no ones going to acknowledge that the officiating was clearly different in these first two ganes then the last few years? They letting them play football out there which is fine but that obviously gives Minnesota a big advantage.
I cant believe that game 1 Knicks vs Pacers and game 2 Nuggest vs TWolves was played under the same sanctioning body lmao.
Agree with kilborn on the guys who miss vs don’t miss games.
Don’t sure about ft equating to fg per. Ja Morant Ft was 81 percent in college. Not a good jump shooter..yet anyway
Request: please have Kilborn on every month. Incredible interview. Just two dudes jamming. Love it.
The league has done a whole 360 Good drafting will take you
Much further than good free agent signings
Loved this interview bc Kil is one of us but feels like Ryen has no idea when he can talk lol. Kil the best rambler of all time. Go wolves
Understand that for many people, not just in MN, sports fandom isn't something you jump on and off. You are born in a certain place and those are your teams, ride or die. Kilby grew up in MN, made it to the bright lights, and could have easily abandoned the team for another. But he didn't. That's a true fan.
Durant to OKC?
Dude this guy sucks lol
We do not always have to pay reverence to the old guard if they don’t have it anymore, sorry
I like the wolves a lot. But no team has any chance against them if refs are not going to call fouls.
Media is doing a crazy number on the T Wolves and continue to ignore OKC. Especially this guy
This dude suckks ass as a wolves guy
No one gives a shit about how much money your friends have broski
Ryen, you are often times soo fkn smug. This dude by comparison is like listening to an english duke. Please dont do this again.
Nice, a third-person reference to top off the bougy
Fabulous episode 👏
We want OKC…then we want Boston.
Blazer over jersey obviously
I have a D-Lo jersey in my closet. I might give it to my daughter because I need a Throwback Nickiel to replace it
two good men here
the Wolves have made the Oppenheimer leap..I have becoma a destroyer of worlds. not sure who stops this. Just thought an erudite aristocratic sophisticate like minny's own Kilby would appreciate the "Oppenheimer Leap" reference cause I'm cultured like that lol
THEY GOT KD BUT WE GOT JADEN MCDANIELS
When’s Olberman coming on ?
Kilborn has a hard time staying with a train of thought. Tough listen
Two of my favorite hoops analysis personalities, and indeed, Craig offers some of the best and most nuanced analysis in the game.
Edwards got the most insane calls in Game 2, are you kidding me.
Just close your eyes and listen: .. He sounds like Trump 😂
Not me. I have no respect any guy who misses their kids birth for petty basketball. Ball means nothing in the grande sceme of life. It's not the point of life. So Craigs take at the end is absurd.
kilby dwarfs the unlettered clown show puppets on espn/fox any of the poverty of thought playa podcasts. so good to hear him.
Kilborn pod 👀👀👀👀
KAT is a star.
What happened to the awful gobert trade…
Is that Craig Kilborne or Sebastien?!?!?
KAT is the reverse Marcus Smart.
Smart is defense, but not quite the best, KAT is offense, but not quite the best.
Smart is a Guard, KAT is a Big.
Smarts bad offense is dumb shots. KATs bad defense is dumb fouls
I went to high school with Craig in Hastings! Had a few art classes with Mr. Lange and Mr. ??? (short dark haired teacher with an odd thumb we all speculated had been a big toe transplant — good god, we were kids then…)
Even at 8 a.m. in first class, Craig had a quiet “let’s get this party started!’ vibe, great sense of humor, which included everyone within his vicinity. Glad to see he’s done well!
As a Knicks fan, I hate to say I agree. Thibs will not/can not adjust. There are in trouble if OG can't go.
great ep!
1) Russillo and Simmons heep maximum derision on Gobert trade. "Worst trade in history of sports" ipso facto dumbest GM
2) Trade works. Wolves go to next level. Jazz nowhere.
3) Wolves fans come back to point out Russillo's 100% smugness.
4) Russillo can't understand why.
Ryen has been a such hater of the Wolves for years as he tries to build the “trade Ant” case and so now it’s fun watching him pivot.
Can you guys please talk about what the hell’s going on with the ownership drama, and weather or not we should be worried about Glenn remaining the owner.
between kilborn simmons and van pelt russilo is just a sports ass kisser
That's the guy who used to watch me sleep through my window at night. He should knock and identify himself if he is close, watch put
Somehow yes, Denver will spenk Boston if they meet up 😉💯🤷🤫
