He was fine. I would say it is a huge step forward even when he hasn't been scoring he is contributing in other areas unlike in years past. 6 rebounds and game sealing steal.
Also he got us buckets when the offense stalled late.
*I'll defend him for you cool
You go Kek. He really shouldn't need it though.

Oh geez, lighten up. Besides, his free throw shooting is going to lose a game or two before this season is over.

I think part of the problem is watching any game with Cousins in it is depressing. What a miserable human being.

Well, he's already won a couple - you must have missed those. In fact it seems you miss a lot.

I've got a better percentage than Wiggins free throws!

He does need to improve and that is fair but I really like what I've seen from wiggins this year.
Just seems like he is the type of player that is super streaky in his offensive game on how efficient he is. But it is huge that his "bad" games, he has been solid in other areas

He's surely giving more effort rebounding and on the defensive end so yeah, huge positive there. This team would be so much harder to beat if only he could find consistency (the good kind) with his shot!

Agreed 100% but that is the next step, I would say for his career he has been a streaky scorer (in terms of efficiency) and brought nothing else to the table.
This year feel like he is still streaky but is bringing defense and rebounding when he is struggling.
Hopefully in years to come he is no longer streaky and if he does that he is in the elite company and the wolves will more than likely be ready to contend

A frustrating game watching the Wolves blow multiple 10 point leads, but its wins like this that have eluded us over recent years.
I have lost all respect for Cousins after tonight's game. Yes he's an incredible talent but the way he acts is a cancer to his team and to the NBA in general. Bring back the flopping fines I say, he would have clocked up a few tonight.
A tough assignment for Towns tonight against the twin towers and early foul trouble didn't help. But if we can win a game with Towns only scoring 2 points shows that we have the personnel to step up when these things happen.
Really liking our bench this season. Good group of players who compliment each other well. Tonight they shot 16 from 23 attempts. Belly is our best 3pt shooter by a mile and is developing into one of the best in the league. Such a sweet stroke and his height means few defenders can defend it. Active game by Gorgui, love the passion he showed vs Cousins. Jamal, Tyus and Bazz all chipped in too. Crawford is such a great addition for this team and is the glue in that second unit.
