He has been fantastic the last 10 games or so. He has make things look easy and effortless out there on offense. The deflection/anticipation/steals are starting to get better.

Towns has been fantastic as well. We got ourselves another double double machine/ high volume rebounding big in the mold of kg/big al/love with towns. You almost expect 12 or more rebounds every game from him. Just relentless on the boards and great offense from him.

Belly had his best game of the season since the lakers game early in the season. A double double, kep balls alive, good defense, limited his mistakes and all that despite a 4/15 shooting night.

The team played well. Everyone that got to play did what they are supposed to and contributed in some form. Well, Aldrich only got to play 1 minute but he has only been playing 4min per game and only in the first half of games for most of the season.

Good win. We should keep beating teams that we are supposed to beat.

Wiggins and Towns. Best Wolves duo ever? Looks like it's headed that way. Go Wolves.

That was Belly's best game...better than LA. The bench was very good. I like big wins.

Why isn't Dunn starting SG? Rush is garbage.

Did anyone notice that in the first quarter as the kings were out to a big lead and looked like they were going to maybe do something, the stars of the Timberwolves just kind of said "oh well we got this" and actually did look like veterans out there? And it wasn't cockiness it was confidence.

Great observation

Uh, no. If you look at their skills relative to the position they play and their years of NBA experience, I think KAT is hands down more talented. There is no big man that can score in the same variety of ways KAT is able to and he does it more efficiently than Wiggins. Heck, he even averages more assists than Wiggins. Neither are good overall defenders yet.

All of that being said, Wiggins has been coming on strong lately. I hope it's a debate we can have for years to come.

Most likely yes, although that's not saying much since we have had so few great players come through Minnesota over the years.

I agree this very much. As good and consistent as Wiggins have been in last 18 games, his numbers have been still inferior what KAT has had during same time.

Wiggins in last 18 games has 27.7 pts, 3.9rbs, 2.8 asts, 1.6 stls, 2.1 TOs with 58.6 TS%. Those are really terrific numbers and that 18 games stretch is by far most impressive streak of games that Wiggins has had during his career.

But KAT's numbers in last 18 games have been even more impressive. His line: 28.9 pts, 12.7 rbs, 2.9 asts, 1.3 blks, 2.6 TOs with 66.7 TS% is really insane when you consider the scoring efficiency and volume.
