His positives this half far outweigh the negatives.

So many mistakes again good FT shooters towns and Lavine each miss one with 230 left. Gorgui lane violation took a point off the board also

Unlucky. A good fight back but ultimately it was a bridge too far after yet another inexcusable 3rd quarter.

I question these guys fitness. It doesn't help that Thibs plays his starters long minutes, but they seem to be very puffed tonight. No excuses. Get these guys on the treadmill.

Yep, there wouldn't have been a last second shot to tie attempt without Belly.

I like that play. Tough to get a better shot, and if he makes that you are giving a much needed confidence boost to an X factor early in the season. I loved Thibs' rotations tonight.

So far we've lost to three borderline playoff teams and beat a D-league squad.

Not good.

Nope. But on the bright side this is a young team still learning to play in the NBA while also learning a new coach's system. I have to believe there is a lot of thinking going on rather than reacting, it'll come.

Man there was some good stuff in that 4th quarter that makes me feel better about this loss.

Tyus played really well and stepped up his D big time. Thibs stuck with him and was rewarded with some good play from Tyus.

Lavine with some big rebounds got to some loose balls and just played solid.

Belly has some faults but man he made a positive impact in this game he was a big part of getting back in the game.

Bazz for the game took a couple of his shots and unfortunately they didn't go down. In that 4th quarter he seemed to do what people have been asking of him. He moved the ball and he kept a few balls alive getting the Wolves possessions.

....yet Denver had two rookies in their rotation, two second year guys, and a third year guy. The "we're young" thing isn't a very good excuse against Denver.

At some point Thibs is going to tighten his rotations. I suspect it is going to come down to Bazz or Rush.
