So, Hummel did pretty well at PG tonight given the circumstances. Kudos to him for being ready for anything. A pro's pro, as they say.

Where was shabazz in the 4th also Hummel did fine but I would like to see Lavine playing instead

I couldn't watch..but was watching box scores.. did Bazz get hurt?

Do you realize how huge our next #1 draft pick is? Absolutely have to find a star that can grow with Wiggins. Otherwise the questions will start real soon. Is Andrew going to force a trade? Is Andrew going to re-up? Is Andrew going to play out his contract and leave?

We should learn from the Garnett and Love situations that we have to find a 2nd star, and find him quickly.

I think the better question is: Do we realize how huge this next NBA Lottery is? If we somehow fall in the order, it could be a franchise killer. I'm pretty certain we'll finish the season as a top-three bad team. There are three "money" prospects in this draft, imo, and only two of them are bigs. Pray that we're able to snag Towns or Okafor.

Absolutely amazing how teams can light us up on the perimeter, even on the few occasions we actually defend fairly well. Other than a miserable 2nd quarter of defense, I actually thought we got our act together again in the 2nd half and ended up playing 3 quarters of decent defense, but the Bucks just could not miss. And of course Kenyon Martin waltzes into the game after not playing all year, knocks down 2 mid-range jumpers and skys for an ally-oop dunk, going 3-3. SMH....

Robbie Hummel running the point?

No, he just didn't really have it going tonight and Flip was looking for some different combinations. I think what Shabazz is finding out is that it's a little tougher posting up opposing team's staring small forwards than their bench wings.

I get what your saying cool, but Im actually confident that we can keep wiggins.

For one, we have a lot of young talent on this team and none of them seems to have the selfish attitude of marbury. They can grow together. We also didnt lose 3 of our future 1st round picks for illegal deals. Flip has so far drafted well. We have an upcoming high pick to look forward to and have a promising cap situation in a few years. It will take a lot of screwing up to not build this team right for the future.

Flip said Bazz had a stomach strain. Whatever that means.
