As is the case, Wiggins is much better when he's going downhill and attacking the basket. Hope he learns from this. I'm not holding my breath, but he's clearly a different player when he's trying to get all the way to the rim vs settling for jumpers.

Saunders against Atkinson in the coaching matchup does not go in our favor -- to say it nicely.

I seem to remember you had a hard-on for Thibs when Atkinson was available.

I'm down with Rebekkah Brunson doing post game analysis. Good job FSN. Looking forward to seeing more as the year goes on.

Wig was mostly tough to watch, but he converted some awfully big buckets at crunch time.

Yes. The only jumpers he should be taking are catch and shoot threes, everything else should be downhill within 7 feet.

He made that great pass to Roco too. He was great in OT with the D and hustle.

I seem to remember you had a hard-on for Thibs when Atkinson was available and was known as one of the top developmental coaches in the NBA. Atkinson and Ryan are both better than Thibs.

Why are you on my dick?

Thibodeau *was* an awesome head coach.
Atkinson *is* an awesome head coach.
It remains to be seen what exactly Saunders is.

A lot of things broke right tonight for Minnesota, especially in crucial moments. That won't always be the case.

I'm gonna have fun writing this game report. Stick around.

Fun game. Still want more touches late for Kat but Wiggins stepped up late. Kat played a great 2 way game.

Still super early but that Napier,Graham trade was a solid under the radar move

Thibs was never an awesome coach for the Wolves. He was decent in Chicago when he was surrounded with lots of talent, playing in a weak conference and overplaying his guys. The game has past him and he can't get a head coaching job. But, Thibs as a GM was horrible, even Kahnesque.
