As much as we're ripping Wiggins in this loss, frankly, Butler was a big issue as well, although at least he gives a damn and tries hard. He wasn't making shots and got sloppy at the end. I love the fact he draws lots of fouls and he played solid defense, but we need him to make shots. You can't have your wings go 6-24 with 1 three...not good enough to beat a team like the Celtics.

I'll add that this would have been a nice night to have a real sixth man instead of a 39-year old Jamal Crawford.
Jordan Clarkson would look really good here.
Or if we had a productive wing next to Butler that could play their role, say, a DeMarre Carroll or Kent Bazemore.
Or a big splash like Khris Middleton.
Point is, there are moves that need to be made. A lot of them are because of the weak depth we have at the wings.

If it was obvious that Wiggins gave a shit, rather than appearing content with his max contract, his play would be frustrating, but he wouldn't hated.

Did Cole or Bazz get any minutes?

No, and thank goodness they didn't or this might have been uglier.

Hate to be the minutes police, but Taj looks dead. He's not a 35-38 minutes a game player anyway, not against the top teams. But he looks gassed.

42 > 20
That was the bench difference tonight. Marcus Smart, of all people, shot 8-13 for 18 points. And on top of that, Terry Rozier put up 14 points in 22 minutes.
Meanwhile the Wolves bench collectively scored 20.
In my eyes, that's a huge problem.

With Wiggins natural ability he should be able to make up a big chunk of that... if he didn't suck.
