Wiggins is one of those players who sucks the life outta you when you watch him play.

Reasons why we lost.

1) wiggins was bad, I can't even argue that.

2) bench was flat pathetic tonight. Like so bad.

3) Jimmy was blah at best.

4) 3 is more than 2

I'm unaffected by it. That's not because it isn't annoying or maddening, but I've grown used to his inconsistency. It's a normal aspect of this team now. The sad thing is that he's supposed to be our third pillar and his inconsistency is that of a role player.

Tonight is one of those nights where you look at Thibs, see what roster he constructed, and feel insulted because there's no way he could have put this team together thinking they could ever beat teams like Houston or Golden State now or later and assume we as fans could believe it.

Thibs doesn't know 3's are worth more then 2. He traded away the most talented 3 point shooter in Wolves history (others were "better" if wide open like Hoiberg.

Maybe Thibs needs to go back to Kindergarten. 3 is more then 2!

What could he really do though. He has had 1 real offseason. Like we are asking guys to compete against 2 of the best offensive teams in history. And maybe the best team in history. We need improvement out of the young guys to become a championship contender

Think this team, staff and players, need to recognize his All-NBA, MVP level talent he has on offense and give him the keys to the castle if you will.

I agree totally. There is just no rhythm, spacing or flow to our offense. You can tell they tried to go to Kat to start the game, going to him a number of times in the post, but it was mainly 4 guys standing around and watching. That's not Kat's fault, and I agree he needs the ball, but there needs connectivity and cohesion offensively amongst our players.

Didn't have a chance to catch this one, but looked at the score. Not surprised. Houston is in a completely different league from the Wolves.

Yeah, KAT is ridiculously efficient and can hit shots from everywhere. His passing will only improve with more touches. Get him the freakin' ball and start running more action off of him!

Who was matched up against Anderson and did he get his 3's off of blown pick and pop coverages with Harden? If so, have we learned NOTHING about how to guard Ryan Anderson!? Never guard Anderson with a big man. You guard him with a smaller player that is capable of switching onto Harden or Paul. Houston hates the post up game (it doesn't result in a layup or 3 point attempt), so it doesn't matter if you put a smaller guy on Anderson.....

He's gonna need them to offset what will be basically $40+mil a year in dead money between Wiggins and Dieng.

Surprisingly Butler was bad at switching with Ryan Anderson, he also made some tough ones. It was a game until 5 minutes left we were down 4 and they hit 4 3s in a row (3 well contested).
