Wiggins the last 2 games has 5 blocks. Interesting info shared in this thread about him off the court.

I don't think there is much more to be said except this team looked impressive.

Brooks is giving the Wolves some worthwhile minutes. The guy contests dudes wherever. He has lost no athletic ability at this point. He took a couple bad shots but his defense was actually worthwhile and it wasn't just the block he had on Cousins. He is quick and fast enough to get to a spot on the floor.

MGH...I'd like to see more from him. Having said that Belly looked better out there and guarding Miller is pretty easy just don't let him shoot a 3. Belly gave him space one time and paid for it which i didn't like but it was in a bit of a transition possession and there was literally nobody behind him.


Bjelly hasn't done himself any favors but I felt again that the guy just gets absolutely screwed by the officials. We need him to get his confidence back.

MGH made a nice move and bucket in garbage time. It will be interesting to keep an eye on him.

Agree with what you said on Belly. I think what he has figured out is guys are playing him tighter in the perimeter and he isn't feeling it from long range anyway (you can just see it) and he is driving. Last year part of what made him kids dynamic in a way was his ability to get to the basket and finish in a few ways.

Yeah Q it's in garbage time but that basket by MGH is what is kinda intruiging about him. He can actually dribble and he has that ability to go up sometimes even taking contact hang in the air and take the shot on the way down. It's kinda like Butler although Butler attacks harder. We haven't seen enough of him and he hasn't played in many NBA games but I actually think he could be a really versatile guy that COULD down the road even be a guy you can play some minutes at the PG spot especially with Butler. Thibs clearly trusts him defensively although it's not like there are other options. Lol

Fell asleep with this one about 2 minutes in. Not because of the Wolves effort... just a long day.

So I miss games like this and see games like the Phoenix losses, Wash, Memphis, Det, et al.

No wonder I'm so hard to please.
