Wolves look disorganized on offense (started with 3 TOs) and lack assertiveness on the defensive boards. Still only down 12-10.

Yeah, I was about to change my prediction from 60 to 40 after the first few minutes. But then we started playing better, so now I am leaning to 50. Maybe I will be back to 60 by the end...
:d

You can definitely see Thibs' emphasis on defending the perimeter. The problem is it leaves them very soft against a good inside team like Denver...interior defense is very poor tonight.

Pretty sad crowd here My dada and I can't believe how few people showed up. The good news is we were able to move to some nicer seats pretty early on. The crowd was doing some fun howling during FTs early on. Of course the crowd really gets into it when free t-shirts are being thrown out! Lol
Payne looked amazing in warmups! Lol just kidding he was going sole teardrop shots though. Wut?
Ricky had at least one pretty convincing dunk.

Dunn and Shabazz create a big problem for the second unit on the offensive end -- it's tough for other players like Belly and Rush to get shots.
Thibs is kind of 9 man rotation guy. He has said he likes to keep one or two starters on the floor at all times. That should help the second unit, but means someone is going to be shorted some minutes (sorry Bazz).

Dunn with the early exit so Rubio can be on the floor with the bench unit. Rubio and Cole did a nice job denying Murray the ball.

Good observation, tim...I agree. I love how Dunn puts the ball on the floor, but I don't see him as a distributor...and Bazz looks the same, unfortunately.
Belly's 15 pound weight loss is quite noticeable...looks much quicker.

Is Jamal Murray hurt, or is he really that slow? Not impressed so far.

Well the Wolves have put a lot of pressure on the guards for Denver.
