Wolves vs. Utah - Where They Allow muZach

Be careful cam. You should probably just gouge your eyes out immediately after seeing wiggins second dunk. Not much beauty to see after that.

The third was powerful... And Zach's gliding thru the air was impressive. The Jazz just had to much for the Wolves. The spacing on offense was poor most of the night. Sometimes the rotation of the bal was good... Most times it was awful. The three point shooting was awful for the wolves. There was a Bennett sighting, and he made a three! Overall the defense was awful.... Rebounding was awful. Other than that, great game....LOL

I just got home from a game of pickup and am starting the game right now. Perhaps if my eyes don't bleed too bad I'll write my thoughts as well.

Payne didn't play well? Ya don't say...

You will definitely want to watch the dunks. Impressive.

If you are looking for even more ammo on your anti-Payne stance, I can't think of a better game for you to watch. I present to you, Exhibit A (or are we on Exhibit W now with him?).

Hamilton is a nice player to plug in for some spot minutes, but he is absolutely not a Center. Aaaargh! We have a boatload of 4's, ranging from elderly (KG), to clueless (Bennett and Payne), to serviceable (Dieng and Hamilton).

We need a bad-ass big man in the worst way!

Andrew was a -38 tonight. I should stop there. But I loved he posterized Q's future hall of famer twice. Made the game worth watching.

Seriously, anyone who tries to make sense of what is going on right now is wasting their time. We are only playing 7-8 guys, and the team is so fatigued that the results are almost meaningless. We had 5 guys play over 25 minutes tonight who might not have gotten in the game if we were completely healthy. What does that tell you? I still watch to see the little morsels of hope that might have this team making strides next year. Other than that it's a joke.

Both dunks were impressive as hell, but that second one.. Oh my. Oh my my my. That's one to add to his career highlights. I think in 15 years that'll still be one of his best. And it absolutely is that much better because of who he threw it down on. Rudy Gobert, The Stifle Tower... Wiggins brought the tower down!

Would the Jazz still draft Exum before LaVine?

I've tuned out a couple weeks ago. I don't even know what is supposed to be the takeaway at this point. We know where Wiggins is. All he's learning now is how NBA teams can find creative ways to tank and mail it in. Payne? Bennett? I don't think it matters in the grand scheme of things. My thoughts on both are pretty clear and they're not even showing many glimpses to make me second guess.

I guess it's good for LaVine's confidence and game to get a ton of run. But, being so overmatched as a team, is it as much of a help as we might think it would be on the surface? Maybe. Any time for him is good, I guess. But I don't know if it's for such a shit show.

But I did watch the highlights.

The dunks over Gobert were impressive. But I gotta say... the big guy coming back and blocking #3 the way he did may have been the coolest play of all. (Not as a Wolves fan, but as an NBA fan.) That tells me a lot about Rudy Gobert. So he got beat early. He was made to look bad. But he didn't run from the challenge, in fact he embraced it and had an amazing block. I think that series showed us the potential/allure of two very promising players.

Yeah a 7 footer blocking a guards shot, whoever thought that could happen?

Sometimes, I think you work far too hard to incite negative responses.
