Yeah, this is being a tough team for me to embrace.
Just gotta hope 20 games will produce the necessary chemistry to win games.

I'm not seeing a chemistry problem but rather a lack of brains problem. Twenty games is not going to solve that.

Teague looks terrible in the box score with 6 turnovers and 30% shooting from the floor. Butler's box score doesn't look like an all-star performance, shooting around 30% and stepping out of bounds at the end. They team took very few threes. Overall, I think we're probably looking at a 7th or 8th seed.
Teague and Butler were bad for the most part.
When Kat was on the floor the Suns scored at will.
KAT was something like a -27. Just awful.
From now on, he should be measured strictly by +/- related stats, including RPM. He does none of the little things well on either side of the ball, but does a great job if you have him in Fantasy.

Lip gives a new season prediction after every single game!! Lol

Also have yet to see his D show up. Booker outplayed him for sure.
He actually made two nice defensive plays in a row on Booker earlier in the 4th. But otherwise, Booker got the best of not just Butler, but anyone that stepped up to guard him on PnR too.
Booker was hot tonight. He is a damn good scorer.
The stepping on the baseline, holding onto the ball and taking a 3pt shot closer to half court, and then being stripped of the ball - all in a row - is inexcusable from our star in this kind of game.

If only Wiggins played like he does at the end of tough games for a full quarter every game..

Thibs brought Butler in to rub off on the young guys but the young guys appear to be rubbing off on Butler.
Re: Back To The Winning (Wolves vs. Suns)
Road games are tough. That one hurt a bit extra because we had an advantage there. They stopped running plays for Wiggins. Thibs called a timeout and we ended up with another 3 from Towns who has been garbage. The main thing I got out of tonight is that Booker is a legit talent. Otherwise pretty awful.

Yeah, defense and shooting were by far our two biggest needs the last two offseasons. Two offseasons ago we bring in Thibs. Last offseason we bring in Gibson, Teague, and Butler. Guess what our two biggest problems are?
Nothing has changed fundamentally. We've just gone from horrible to mediocre.

Lol. Good stuff, SP.
