No kidding, can't wait to read how he messed this one up but we won in spite of him.

Wiggins made the correct passes and plays including the last one to rubio for the open corner 3 that rubio clank. You wont hear others talking about the miss shots by his team mates. Only that wiggins initiating the offense leads to losses.

I just can't believe there is angst about Wiggins initiating the offense tonight. I can't remember a single time where we didn't get what we were looking for, either points or at minimum a good look. I'm sure Lip's game report will offer similar stupidity.

Very nice. Lose your temper with one poster and then insult one of our most valued and loyal members of the board who has never personally attacked anyone. Grow up and act your age or step away for a while to regain some perspective.

Fu Q

Out of necessity and respect, I want to apologize to Cool and thedoper for seemingly upsetting them last night during the game. I was commenting on some things that I saw during the game in live action, such as a questionable shot from Andrew Wiggins amongst other things, but I failed to point out enough positive plays from him that I must have sounded unbalanced. I know those two posters as well as some others are big, big fans of his game as it stands right now while myself and some others are on the "let's wait and see" bandwagon. I just want it to be clear that I wasn't attempting to troll either of you and I'll do better in pointing out Wiggins' high notes in order to keep a balanced discussion on my end.

Just win, baby! Glad we got the win and I'm looking forward to Wednesday.

Thanks for taking the high road Cam. You could have very easily gotten into an insult-driven pissing contest with Cool and you never let it happen.

You don't need to apologize to me. I'm not nor was I upset at you. Fans are supposed to have big opinions about the game and players, that's what makes it fun. Keep being yourself.

Thanks Cam - I let my emotions get the best of me and it boiled over in frustration. It isn't the first time, but hopefully it's the last. I appreciate you not escalating things as I was completely out of line. Nice that we got a badly needed win. I have to remember we are all on the same side, looking forward to sharing thoughts with you going forward.

Who would ever guess that someone so good at shooting frees would be so terrible at shooting overall?!?

Just saw this little tidbit making its way through the internet......


Ricky Rubio has made 34 consecutive technical foul free throws, dating back to last season. The longest active streak in the NBA.

Again, pretty comical considering how horrible he is shooting the ball otherwise. But if it ain't broke, don't fix it (him shooting the technicals that is).

Rubio's last three games: 8.7 points, 9.7 assists, 5.3 rebounds and 2.3 steals a game in 37.4 minutes.

Wolves are 2-1 (and should be 3-0).

He's been much better as of late and so has the team in general. I'm not arguing that he's the most valuable player on the team or anything crazy, but him playing close to his normal self definitely makes a difference.

Let's face it. Thibs has adjusted somewhat and is having him run more plays. I'm OK with mixing it up - and in fact I think it's a GOOD thing we mix it up now and again - but as long as Ricky is the starting PG, it's a waste to just park him in the corner. Good things tend to happen when he is more actively utilized.

I saw a few of the highlights from the game, including a backdoor baseline cut by Wiggins that led to an easy dunk off a Rubio feed; a slip to the basket on a post-up overplay that KAT converted into any easy basket; and a quick outlet to a sprinting LaVine for a fast-break dunk. There wasn't a single dribble required by the recipient in any of these plays! Love it!

No kidding, fucking moron

Complete loser...bring back Sid Lowe!

Fun fact Pinckney played for the Sixers back in the day under head coach John Lucas who had an assistant named Thibs.

Bazz is unplayable every night, unfortunately.

His saving grace most of the year is he actually plays at least decent defense...except that Pistons game it was terrible. He did have 2 assists tonight and they were plays he would have shot before.
