I see a young Ray Allen but his shot still has a ways to go.

Whoa! I didn't believe until 33 second Harden turnover. But I believe the MVP of this game might have been the 32 year old on the bench.

He kept everyone fresh. Threw a lot of different looks on the court.

That was a. awesome win.

Great team win. Didn't see all of it but 4th quarter Teague was great.

Sucks we lost those 3 straight. Dammit

He played great. Where has this been consistently for the last 1.5 years. You get to post something like this once every 10-15 games.

I know. Thibs would have won those games, right?

That was a terrific game to watch. The entire starting five in this one was great. Teague, Okogie, Deng, Saric, and Towns. Can't argue against their games or their box scores. Gibson and Rose did enough off the bench.

Towns was the best player on the floor for Minnesota, but the game ball goes to Teague. 27 points (11-16 FG, 1-1 3P, 4-4 FT), 12 assists, and only one turnover. When he's healthy, he's one of the top-15 point guards in a league that has a lot of quality players at that position.

In all seriousness, the most ideal solution for the point guard position this summer would be for Teague to opt-out of his $19M player option and re-sign with Minnesota on a multi-year deal; a three-year, $27-30M contract would be enticing for both sides.

Deng is certainly making a case for starting in place of Wiggins...

My promise is good, problem with Wiggins is the flow of the offense and for some reason offense is ran through him even though he's highly inefficient. As I have stated before a complete retooling of his game is required if we are gonna keep this kid.

I know some would like to see the soft tank but I'd rather see this team put it all together they got Saric starting now, get RoCo back, have Josh keep developing and I'll take a worse pick. Development of the current roster and coach aka learning how to win tight games outweighs the possibility of a higher draft pick and that said higher draft pick turns into something. For all we know the guy we want at say the 9 slot might still be on the board at 14.

The rest of the season, I'd like to see a starting lineup of: Teague, Okogie, Covington, Saric, and Towns. Rely on Jones, Rose, Deng, and Gibson off the bench to provide some stability.

Wiggins is no longer needed in Minnesota -- never really was. I expect him to get dealt this summer and I'm practically wishing for it. Why wait at this point? His subpar play shouldn't be rewarded with a big bulk of the minutes when it's clear we have bodies that are better than he is. Let him rest on the bench.

Yes trade him for assets or a really nice piece, he's overpriced and I believe the lack of killer instinct will always hold him back. He has all the athletic abilities but will he ever be considered an all star?
