Him being the #1 option on his national team (Senegal) I think has really helped him. It's amazing how much he's progressed offensively.

Old invisible Wiggins has returned.

Lowry is making plays. Wiggins is not.

Not invisible. Just not making shots. He's saved our butts in some games too, but not tonight.

Gorgui takes plenty of jumpers though.

I was about to say that too. A couple "rookie" mistakes too, but I expect that out of this young team.

Yeah, that 4th quarter was a series of young guys making mistakes. Zach and KAT made a number of poor decisions and Wiggins was just flat out missing shots (and displayed his poor hands too - God that's a problem for him). Toronto is a REALLY good team, we have to remember that.

They're alright I guess. You know, winning 17 of their last 20 games. That's pretty good right? hah

What's frustrating is seeing how we have competed lately against these really good teams and then lay big fat eggs against the likes of New York and New Orleans.

I like that Wiggins had 4 rebounds and 3 assists. Not impressive, but encouraging.

Towns was clearly tired. Just didn't have his legs under him tonight.

Zach's shot abandoned him.

Gorgui was tremendous.
