I haven't followed the game thread so don't know if this has been talk about. Tibs continues to display zero flexibility or inclination of a "modern" lineup. I would of much rather had Cov playing the 4 guarding Mirotic instead of Taj. Play Okogie and slide Cov to the 4. I don't think Cov played the 4 at all tonight. That's part of his value but something Tibs will fail to capitalize on. Too me that was very disappointing.
When Kat picked up his 4th and was taken out, Tibs put In Gorgui. I mean are you f'ing kidding me. He has a fairly versatile lineup but is clueless on how to use it.

Yeah, awesome to see these two guys specifically close out the game with big plays on both sides. They have not been very good at this in the past on their own...
Duke -- I actually liked keeping Cov at the wing. He did a great job preventing some 3-point attempts by their wings. Taj did fine sticking with Mirotic.

I mean... it was their first game on the team lol. It's smart to ease them into things, play them how they are most comfortable and not get too crazy. He also did play Saric towards the end of the 4th and pulled him to put KAT back in.
Plus... Cov was beasting on the wing... why mess with that?
What did I just watch because it wasn't the Wolves.
Shot 32 3s and made 14. Wiggins and Kat scored 13 of the last 15 pts. Wiggins dunked. Kat with a clutch block. We held a team to 100 pts. Cam and Cool agreed on something :).
Thibs and Taylor hugged at the end of the game when huge smiles on their faces.
