Jeff Teague increasing his trade value :thumb:

Yeah, just weird, because he actually has a good feel for finding open guys off the dribble (which is not easy for a rookie non-PG). But then he looks like an amateur when he goes up around the basket and basically shoots it right into the contest. Like he has no natural feel around the rim when it comes to scoring.

Vucevic playing some of the most blatant drop coverage defense I've seen, just basically begging people to take the mid-range J and then just walling up under the rim on drives.

Why Wiggins doesn't drop step to the hoop when he's got a small guy on him in the post is beyond me. Instead he turns middle for a tough mid-range shot and it gets stripped. Argh!

Which is perfect for defending the wolves.

He thinks he's Kobe.

Taj still has yet to commit a foul in his NBA career.

Okogie draws an offensive foul, makes a hard contest on a 3 that is then missed, and then hassles his guy into a travel, all within the course of about 90 seconds of game time. None of those things will go into his box score.

Okogie has a great feel for basketball except when it comes to scoring. Hes like a poor man simmons without the finishing ability.

man did you hear Thibs scream JESUS CHRIST at Okoge after his turnover? What a buzzkill
