You can't put up numbers sitting on the pine Matty!

Nice post Q. I agree with your "better news" section. Stats are always a good tool, if you know what you are looking for. If D-Will, Dante, or Shved want to impress, the boards would be the place to do it. Right now, they aren't doing it. (although, Dante is doing ok there).

We are doing a very good job getting to the line. We expect that from Love, Martin doing it as well as he is surprises me. Should we be able to keep getting FTs while improving our eFG%, we will have a truly amazing offense.

The biggest thing that I take away from those #s is that the level of Wolves current play seems very sustainable, cause there are still plenty of areas to expect improvement.

And i agree, rubio should help on the boards more, and he could do the same outlet passes that love is making right now.

Losing Turiaf and Budinger is the equivalent of losing our 6th and probably 9th man in our rotation. Huge loss and explains why we have such a poor rebounding and 3point shooting second unit. The return of those two will instantly help those two categories.

I'm still disapointed that we past on Steven Adams in the draft. His stat line yesterday against Detroit, 17 points (7/10fg, 3/4ft), 10 rebounds (5 offensive), 3 assist, 3 blocks and a steal.... And the kids only 20 years old. Compare that with the production we're getting from Muhammad and Dieng. Wouldn't that be handy coming off the bench!

We probably wouldn't use Adams. Don't feel too bad.
