Jimmy really wanted to get 40 points but this was too much iso for 1 player. We did nothing in the 4th but iso jimmy and credit to him that he got to the line and hit his fts and got make a nice pass to taj but he also went 2-10 from the field and the rest of the team play with no flaw at all because of this iso. Its okay if you do it with 3-4min left in the game but a whole quarter is not right.

I'm not gonna say you're wrong... I'm not sure I heard Andrew's name in the fourth quarter except for a turnover.


I am not saying you are wrong but when you run everything through Butler it is hard to get Wiggins going in the 4th. Like who knows what Lavine would be if he was just asked to stand in a corner.

Who's fault is that? We do the same thing every close game and end up losing. Andrew stands in the corner and watches Jimmy dominate the ball.

Good point. No one should be allowed to go 2-10 in a quarter.

Lavine to aggressive to not get his during the course of the game. I think we miss his willingness to take and make threes.

The game certainly wasn't lost by Wiggins, but he didn't do much to win it either. There's an argument that you'd want more from your big three in the fourth quarter... where he disappeared.

Again, the blame doesn't fall directly on him, but he's capable of a lot more. So is Towns as he wasn't exactly an All-Star in this one either.

You're exactly right. This came down to Zach vs Butler and Butler's coach. And Zach was better. This had nothing to do with Wiggins. I'm sick of losing these winnable games because we iso one player.

LaVine needs to win and is clutch, Wiggins just doesn't care. Like KG said, he had to push his buttons to get him to play hard. Butler did alright, LaVine was just better.

Eh, I think we miss his shot making know doubt, like I dont think there is a single person on this board who dosen't like Lavine (minus LST), its just what we run down the stretch is Iso Butler that would not change even if we had Lavine. He is not going to be running to the ball and getting the ball from butler to go Iso Zach.

What is Wiggins supposed to do? Wave off the coach and go grab the ball from Jimmy? Wig had NOTHING to do with this loss, save for his turnovers that happened long before crunch time.
