Wolves vs Warriors GDT

[kekgeek]

Were up 13 early. Then warriors sagging off Tyus so much and offense starts to struggle. Now up 2

Wiggins is doing nothing not turning it over also

[kekgeek]

Im starting to really sour on Tyus Jones, of the 313 players in the NBA that have played 40+ games Tyus ranks 298th in TS%

Tyus is no offensive threat at all and is really killing the spacing when he plays with Okogie, got to be the worst shooting backcourt in NBA history. Kills the spacing for Towns

[kekgeek]

Feel bad for Towns. Playing with a bunch of scrubs. At least he will get his stats to make all NBA and hurt our Cap situation more. (Not saying he doesn't deserve it)

My main take aways from the 1st half.

Tyus and Okogie are unplayable together.
Tyus is not a starting caliber PG, and I wouldn't pay him anything over 4 mil a year, I know he homegrown but he just doesn't bring much besides being a backup and when he has started this year he is a -9.4

Wiggins could give 2 shits

Towns is a absolute stud, he will make all NBA it just sucks that it will hurt our cap space more next year.

I know you were wondering, but dont worry guys. I was smart this time and bet against the Wolves. And in their loss, I won

Wiggins was unwatchable tonight. His stats so grossly overstate his contribution tonight as they often do. I don't know how much you could see on TV, but at the arena you couldn't help but see Andrew the jogger. I think he uses games as his workout jogging time. Maybe the most disgusting moment was in the second quarter when KAT was battling like hell fighting for the ball against 3 Warrior players when the ball finally found its way to a Golden State player for a 12-foot jumper. The next thing I saw was Wiggins literally jogging casually out to the shooter who easily scored as Wiggins slowly made his way for a laughable closeout. I so badly want the Wolves to get rid of him. If only we could find a taker who wouldn't require us to include any future 1st round draft picks to take him off our hands. But that's not likely. If only we could get the Bulls to take Wiggins straight up for LaVine, but alas the Bulls would laugh at Layden if he suggested that deal. We can't just sit Wiggins because doing that would even further diminish his already minimal trade value.

So we're stuck with him. And that means I'll have to vent from time to time as I am right now. OK, I feel better. Good night to you all.

I just watched the 1st half and I agree with you on Wiggins, I mean I posted he doesn't give two shits. But I feel like we are at the point Wiggins can't do right in people's mind anymore. I mean he had a 20/8/6 game against the best team in basketball on solid % and held Durant in check and we are still sick of him

Such a disappointing development. Here is a guy that did the rare thing for Minnesota draft picks - he actually improved in each of his first three seasons! And remember he came in to the league very young, so there was reason to believe the improvement would continue. But nope. We can't have nice things as Wolves fans, so inexplicably he forgets how to make shots in a year that most young players really start to get into their comfort zone.

It's funny because Tyus's brother at Duke has the same issue....his outside shot isn't respected. Otherwise the two of them are model point guards.

Once again Tyus has a spot in this league. I think he is a solid backup PG for all the little things he does well. But his lack of scoring/shooting hampers him from being a starting caliber PG.

Now how much is a backup PG worth? I'm not sure. I know people disagree with me but with KAT probably making All NBA that is 6 million less we can distribute to players like Tyus. That hurts us.

I don't think it's small sample sized that we are 23-19 with Teague and 9-20 without him
