Wolves vs Mavs GDT: IT'S A TRAP!!!

[thedoper]

Teague is shooting 43% from 3. Beast.

Don't look, but Teague is shooting a career high 42% from 3 this year on the most attempts (3.7 per game) of his career.

Edit: Doper beat me by 3 minutes lol.

Our team is 8th in 3pt % at 37.7%. I think we could stand to take a few more.

Agreed. Guys are still trying to figure each other out. You can see Teague wants guys to do certain things when he has the ball and sometimes they don't get it. Late in this game I was inploring Teague to make guys pay for pressing up on him. He started to do that but a couple times another Wolves player didn't really help him out more got in the way. These guys are winning and scoring and they haven't figured it out. If they really get clicking...they are gonna be pretty good. The best news tonight was Towns made several good defensive rotations. If the light bulb comes on there that will be massive for this team.

I mentioned a bit earlier in the last 10 games we have been the 10 ranked D. We are moving in the right direction and you can see it in all of the players. We are winning games we should win even when our execution has lulls. I really am liking the makeup of this team. We still aren't getting the national media love as usual but I think we're great considering the new makeup of our squad and the fact that no one of the old guard was used to winning.

Nice win boys. I didn't get to watch, looking at the box score Dallas missed a lot of 3s. Comments here suggest good d and not just bad shooting by Dallas (including notorious wolves killer Wes Matthews)

I think Wes has slowed down the last couple of years, but yes, when he was with Portland, he would absolutely KILL us.

Didn't see the game, but the box score looks terrific...balanced scoring and great contributions from the 4 guys Thibs brought in during the off-season. I don't care how bad Dallas is...a 24-point win on the road can't be discounted.

I ripped Wig after watching his horribly uninspired play against the Spurs, but I note a very good line last night...19-5-1 with 3 steals and efficient shooting. As I read Robson's twitter, it also sounds like he showed good balance between his inside and outside games (Britt wants him to play more around the rim where he can be unstoppable). Did the eye test match the results for Wig last night?

I like Wiggins' 2nd half much better than the first. As usual, he relied too much on long 2's in the firs half and a couple of really difficult, contested drives to the hoop where he went right (anyone that does an ounce of homework on Andrew knows he almost exclusively drives right from the perimeter...it's easy to load up on).

In the 2nd half he only took two long 2's, three 3's (two of which he made), and one really nice Euro-step drive for a layup at the rim. So 4 high quality shots and 2 poor quality shots.

The key for Wiggins is getting rid of his two-dribble pull-up/step back J's from inside the arc. Those are such horrible shots and it's one of the reasons he is one of the least efficient volume scorers in the game.

As for his energy and effort, I thought it was solid last night....nothing spectacular, but really contributed to that 2nd half dominance.

Edit: What I haven't seen from Wiggins these last few games are some of the hard basket cuts we saw earlier in the season. He's floating too much lately IMO, including last night. All of his half court baskets were "on the ball" or catch-and-shoot.

One thing I have found interesting is that Wiggins has been matched up most nights against the SF. He had a tough matchup tonight against Barnes and early Barnes did his thing. Sometimes I thought Wiggins did a solid job. Sometimes Barnes went to work. As the game went on I lost track because it seemed like the Wolves were everywhere and Dallas had little chance to do much of anything. Late in the game Wiggins was matched up on DSJ which was interesting and I liked to see that because Wiggins has plenty of quickness and he has length to challenge him if Smith got by him.
