I think Dieng has played very well. He seems to keep coming up with big plays in tough moments. Towns time is coming.

For those who liked LaVines D the last game, I liked it much more tonight. He did a great job getting through screens and recovering to his man. Also did well closing out on shooters. He can play the passing lanes better off of pnr, but overall a very good performance. The best part of this is the Wolves ability to guard different lineups with Ricky and Zach in the lineup.

Benz made it sound like Ricky was ready to go but was held out. Makes sense with him being dressed. I guess if you are going to rest him, this is a team to do it against. Good decision by Sam.

Sacramento's lowest point total of the season...Mitchell effect.

Wiggins has taken that next step

Shabazz was great tonight

I like how rudez on offense is shoot is open or move the ball

Lavine has been awesome this year and I am excited for this year

I think they call that progress! Also, Jabari averaging 9 and 3 so far this year in only 9 games played (still fighting the ACL injury) and Jahil punched a guy in Boston on Wed., so yeah I like our young guys.

Lavine play very well tonight. Old man miller can still play, prince shows that he has value to the team. Wiggins and Bazz had good games as well.

So often that hard screen results in a foul because the big guy can't resist adding a little to it, but G was a statue on that one...nice work!

I've been ripping Miller all year for his defense, but did any of you see anything from him on defense that was really bad tonight? I didn't.

Miller played as good as any 39 yr old pg could on both ends. I really like having him on the team. He can sit for 4 games then play the 5th game and be a valuable rotation guy. He just know how to play. I also liek that playing or not, he is always one of the top cheer leaders on the team. A true pro.

Yeah, I've been down on Ricky for his softness, so it's good to hear he really wanted to go tonight...Arnie was the one who said he needed another night off. The good news is Towns and Rubio will be well rested for Sunday's Clippers game.

Lloyd, actually the next 12 games are against teams with losing records (although Clip-joint is back to .500 with a win tonight.

Ah, must have read that wrong, sweet! Time to make a move in the standings then.
