Gotta support you, Doper and the rest of the Wiggins gang. He was sick at crunch time tonight. How many feet did he get up for that rebound? 15?

Definitely no question about Andrew's motor tonight. He was great on both ends, showing intensity, effort and great poise down the stretch. He was forcing turnovers, attaching the boards and diving for loose balls. A performance like this reminds us of what we all know - that Wiggins has the potential to be a star.

But I'm just as thrilled with what Bazz showed tonight. We saw his typical great effort and aggressiveness. But finally his effor and talent came together with opportunity to produce a big number in the scoring column.

Towns was tremendous too. I also lived Zach's defense along with his 4 three-pointers on 7 attempts. He was key as well.

And let's not forget the really solid minutes we got from Tyus off the bench. You have to love his toughness.

Unreal victory! Bazz and Tyus were huge, they kept us in it. Amazing that we overcame that bullshit call against Towns and all those missed free throws.

And as a cherry on top of the sundae, I bet $1.42 on the Wolves to win the game, paid $14.95 lol woot woot!

In actually going to give sam credit, he had amazing rotations tonight. He has been better at that the last couple weeks

I think it's fair to say everyone was great tonight. Even Belly was getting up and blocking shots and grabbing boards. Amazing game. Tonight obviously furthered my love of Bazz. He played some good D on Green as well at the 4. I just want to add a piece. I really don't want to see them move away from any part of this core. Its too unique right now. Add a defender in their prime and get these kids in the playoffs.

He trully skied for that board. He wasn't going to let us lose this game. He has been great of late. I've noticed his anticipation has been much improved of late and he has been getting more steals.

When it all comes together for wig, he is going to be scary.

Pfft. What good is someone who just scores a lot of points? :-)

I agree. I figured he'd be back anyway, but there's no way Glen doesn't bring him back after a win like this. The counter arguments are all familiar and I'd add that the Lakers beat the Warriors. But this was a great win and the Wolves have been playing pretty well since the all-star break. So Sam will be back. But honestly that's not all bad. At least we're not Knicks' fans facing the prospect of Kurt Rambis returning as our team's head coach.

Haha agreed, I don't want him back but if he is I hope he cleans house with the assistants
