I don't know about you guys, but I've lost my voice at this point. It seems that some of you may be too busy wiping the sweat off your brow to even type!

Bowen has been terrible. Rosas did some good things, but that will always be a blemish on his legacy.

Wright with a step back 3 and a foul with .2 second left to BURY the Skyforce!!! In Yo Face Brandon Knight!!!!

Unbelievable game.....Seriously.

[Q12543 [enjin:6621299]]

With 8:22 left in the 4th quarter, the Wolves were down by 22 points. They went small and put on a full court press which Brandon Knight and the Skyforce couldn't handle. Three last second shots at the end of regulation, the 1st OT, and the 2nd OT won us the game. Go Wolves!

McKinley Wright with 35 points on 14-24 from the field, 4-7 from 3, and two last second shots - one to tie it up and send to OT1 and another to win the game.

Leandro Bolmaro with 25 points and 6 assists, 5-9 from 3. He had a last second 3 to tie it up and send it to OT2 where Wright put it away.

Call these young men up to the Show!

This IS the show baby!

Our motto in Iowa:
"As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another". - Proverbs 27:17

Wright and Leo putting the team on their back and making each other stronger, thus beating back the Evil One (aka Brandon Knight).

Me being the leader of the McKinley Wright fan club, I approve.

I'm a charter member of that club too, WW...like his potential a lot, and especially if he can hit threes. The start of the Wolves season has been quite discouraging, and if they come back from California 3-8, it could put them into a tailspin that might convince Gupta to try to unload DLo and Beasley at the trade deadline, and maybe even KAT. If so, we might see a lot of Wright and Bolmaro the last half of the season. Might be fun.

I'm not convinced yet on either of these two, although it's definitely nice to see them perform well in the G-League. We've seen Nowell and McLaughlin perform really well in the G-League only to become meh third stringers on one of the losing-est teams in the NBA the last couple of years. Vanderbilt and Naz were fun to watch too. Yet they haven't really moved the needle either.

Bottom line is this....I honestly can't trust anymore that whatever we see in any setting other than the actual NBA Wolves will translate. College excellence, overseas excellence, G-League excellence, etc. Playing really well in any of those settings just never seems to translate to winning basketball once these guys put on a Timberwolves jersey.
