KAT is a 4. He needs to play with a good defensive big at the 5.

Very happy from what we saw from Teague and Wiggins. Gorgui was also good.

Kat played himself out of the game (4 offensive fouls).

Butler was out of shape and missed a lot of bunnies.

Thought defense was solid.

Was encouraged tonight. That is a hard place to win.

All that talk about threes flying and Tolliver took, ummm, nope he didn't take any. Typical Wolves three point signing!

Derozan schools Mr D Jimmy at the end. Good thing he tries when he's getting worked. What a stiff.

Not enough good stuff. D:

It's a make or miss league. Thought we got good looks just missed 2 many bunnies.

Close game with Towns playing like garbage and Jimmy missing a bunch of bunnies early in the game. I do commend everyone for not buying into the local media narrative that there was no way these guys could play together. They played hard and almost took the home opener off the Spurs with basically 2 practices as a full team under their belt. One major troubling point for me though was our bigs just got dominated in the paint. That's a multi-year trend that has continued. They had 19 offensive rebounds. Everything else looks easily fixable moving forward.

It would have been nice to get that win but it was a pretty good performance considering Towns had bad game (foul trouble) and Butler was rusty. If we play like that we will win a lot of games. That was fun to watch even with some hiccups. Waaaaaaaaaaay better than I was expecting if I'm really honest.

Yeah he's exactly the same of what I remembered from his last stint with the Wolves. Awful. The way people were talking up his signing I assumed it was a different player.

My biggest disappointment is that Butler didn't get hurt. Maybe next game?

I don't get what he's doing for Thibs at this point. Did they commit murder together or something. It's strange.
