Wolves WIn! great win and great game by Andrew Wiggins.

This game by wiggins makes the thread about trading him looks dumb. The kid is 21 games into his nba career. There will be continued ups and downs from him but you have to be blind to not see the enormous potential of the kid. To talk about trading him and who to trade him for at this early stage of his career is beyond dumb and silly.

Happy with the win tonight.

An imperfect game against a team on its 2nd game of a b2b, but they got the win! The fact that it got tight down the stretch isn't what Flip wanted, but I think the young guys will learn a lot in those situations. And hey, they're already better in close games than they were last year with a more veteran team.

The team went to wiggins down the stretch and he hit 2 clutch shots. Got to the line but miss half his ft! Brewer and dieng sealed the win by making all their fts.

Baz and adrien where good in the 1st half. Young made some key shots. Lavine, I thought defended lillard pretty well. What I like most is the constant motion from the players. Makes the game easier for everybody when players are moving without the ball and making the defense work.

The switch on everything d is good as well as we have 3 6'8 guys playing the forwards and sg spot and lavine at 6'6 playing pg.

Wow, terrific effort and definitely not what I was expecting. That was an absolutely huge game for Wiggins' confidence. He made some big, big plays in crunch time, on both ends of the court.

It is not. We should be able to get Anthony Davis for him before your next game. We need to strike while the iron is hot.

Yup, It seems like Flip went to this out of desperation against Golden State and it worked OK against them. It worked even better tonight. I thought doubling Aldridge was a bit risky, but our rotations out of the double-teams were pretty good. Perhaps Flip is onto something with this strategy.

(he also dumped the zone these past two games).

Well the trade thread is dumb and silly. Suggesting trading him for davis, bron or durant whether as sarcasm or not is not funny and just as silly.

What the hell do you mean Flip??? I told him four or five days ago to do exactly that. Start playing man and switching on the picks and screens. The only thing Flip did right was starting reading message boards for help!

Flip should be fired tonight for not benching Young. At what point does this guy realize he can't hit the broad side of a barn. 0-5 on 3pters tonight, and taking some with 15-20 seconds left on the shot clock. Maybe when you're 4/16 you might want to think about a different strategy. Young played 36 minutes, took 20 shots, and got 5 rebounds.
