Minnesota at Memphis: Young Pups

[Coolbreeze44]

Two things:

1) Get a stop every once in a while
2) This is how I expected us to look the first 25 games or so. Don't get too discouraged by this.

Saunders just said post-game that he thinks 34 minutes is heavy usage for starters. When did the league get like this? 36 used to be standard starter's minutes and now 34 is heavy? What the fuck?

34 minutes is heavy?

Isnt that what kat and wiggs play at minimum?

I think culver can be our malcolm brogdan type pg.

He did some good things out there.

I didn't watch the game tonight. But judging from the score, the Wolves must have been awfully bad on the defensive end. Looks like the Grizzlies guards/wings feasted on the Wolves perimeter defense tonight with PG Morant scoring 26 points, SG Brooks scoring 30 and SF Crowder scoring 18.

Alas, the Wolves are now in 9th place in the Conference, which is really where they belong. The 4-1 start was nice except to the extent it created a false sense of hope for this season's Wolves. There are some positives. We're 4-3 and Wiggins is playing well. But this still looks like a lottery team to me, although if Wiggins continues his improved play it looks more like a 38-win team than a 28-win team.

JV and Clarke feasted inside and on the boards. There was no resistance.

That's right, Cool. The last two games more accurately reflect what this team is at this stage. We'll see how they develop over the course of the season. But the 4-1 start was fools gold.

So it was bad perimeter and interior defense. Pretty much what we saw last season.

Brandon clarke looked nice. For an energy guy, he seems so in control when he plays.

Cole Anthony looks good. Phantom KAT injury. Wiggins works up his trade value with some iso ball and bang we're there.

He's the real deal. Not sure we'll get to that level of bad, though. Towns is too good, too durable, and too competitive.

I think wiggs new found floater game is the reason he doesnt get stripped as much anymore.

he goes to that 2 or 3 times a game now and it looks silky smooth.
