Uh, Wiggins hasn't exactly stopped Warren, but yeah, Butler needs to do better.

Yeah, thought that was a selfish half of ball from Butler. A couple times the offense came to a stop when he had the ball.

We have a good offense, but the problem is too many guys want to make their living in the paint. There is no floor balance with that starting unit. Everyone wants to drive or post up.

Agreed, and that was the big question going into the season, I did think Teague made some nice passes though and it is hard to be mad scoring 56 pts after shooting like shit.

The thing what annoyed me in that end of the half was Kat on the PnR defense against Booker. The previous couple of possessions Taj showed hard and doubled teamed Booker pretty much forcing him to pass. Then the next possession They run the PnR at Kat and Kat gives Booker so much space allowing Booker to step into a rhythm 3. I was not happy, haha.

I have been super happy with Wiggins, he has been active on the defensive end even though Warren is scoring I think he is making it difficult for the most part.

Superior teams clamp down in the 3rd quarter. Let's see if we can string together some stops.

So many guys in the paint.....

I figure Jimmy was hoping Wigs and Kat would follow his lead by being unselfish. It didn't happen, so thus the change...

Looks like a solid no.

Get Jeff Teague off the court. He's costing us tonight.

3 of 17 for teague and Butler ooof

Can't believe how guys forget to shoot when in a Wolves uniform. We've had 3 days of rest too! Wide open looks. And I see our legendary defense came to play this half too! Sheesh!
