I think Ricky should start, but if Thibs puts in Dunn, I really hope we keep him here as he would immensely improve our bench. We will lose any trade where we give Ricky away.

Haha, but I think calling my post, nonsense, is complete Nonsense. How is observing the fact we won three games with Zach out, nonsense??? Its a pretty reasonable opinion to think maybe Zach and Wiggins play better apart given their defensive deficiencies.
Team Ricky, While that might seem like a reasonable thing to do from our arm chairs, put yourself in the position of coach. Here is a young 3rd year player that has worked his ass off, improved more than any other player, is becoming one of the best shooters in the league, and still has a ton of potential.....and you ask him to come off the bench after missing a couple games. You just don't do that!
That being said, I hope Zach and Wiggins learn a thing or two from Rush about doing some of the little things that help a team win. He's opened my eyes with these chase down blocks and deflections. I'm not used to seeing that from our wings!

The part that was nonsense was hoping "Zach misses a few more games". I'm sorry but we don't need that.

Well, if he's not 100%, I don't want him to play. No need to rush him back when we are playing so well without him. I like Zach but lets make sure he's healed up and while I don't like him injured, I hope the observation that maybe Zach and Wiggins should play fewer minutes together is one I hope sinks in with the coaching staff.

So do you hope he misses more games or not? Because that's exactly what you said, and what I took exception to.

So these wins have nothing to do with Towns playing like a legitimate all-star again and Ricky stepping up big time? They're just because Zach isn't playing next to Wiggins? We'd have won a lot more games to date if Towns and Ricky played like this from the start. It has almost nothing to do with Zach not playing.

I agree 100%. This streak has been about Towns taking it inside and dominating. He's played some great D too. We're only going as far as our best player and until the last few games Towns has been not what I expected.
