Great stuff. thanks for compiling the data.

Don't know how to evaluate a G-league game, but he looks quite aggressive there

Thanks for the analysis and I sure hope I am wrong.

It's just that Wiggins' continuously sub-par performance, Towns' atrocious defence and Butler calling out people worry me quite a bit about the team chemistry going forward.

<t>"That shows you why he's such an elite player in this league," Karl-Anthony Towns said. "I was glad to have the popcorn right there and have a front row seat for it because it was amazing."<br/> <br/> Does anyone else find the comment odd here? Somehow I smell sour grapes and ...

Is it me or has Wiggins really improved his release? It looks more like Klay Thompson than Markelle Fultz now in my eyes. And the release point is higher than before.

It seems Lip can really find the worst side out of a fruitful off-season, when experts are predicting we improve our record by 19 games next year.

If we look at last season, the estimate is more or less spot-on, considering the late season run of losses was quite uncharacteristic of the 44-game span in which we were at 50%. What happen...

<t>I am totally on board with the Gibson signing, though the price tag might be a bit higher than wanted. In Taj we have a high-level rim protector, a model professional and a player no opponents want to mess with. Last year, right after the third game of season, Thibs called the Wolves out by calli...

<t>The root of all these issues lies in Andrew Wiggins.<br/> <br/> Three years into the league, we have been treated to two seasons where Andrew performed inconsistently. For about 30 games, his play would be stellar and remind people of Kobe and Tmac. Then 20 games where he played ok but not great....

<t>Your downgrade of ratings for Thibs from B- to C- is not only premature, but also unconvincing. The assessment of his performance hinges on and shall hinge on the effects of key additions (Butler, Teague, Gibson and Crawford).<br/> <br/> If anyone here is convinced that the young core we got befo...
