Amen. I agree with the entire article. Where is the athleticism? Why isn't it showing? Why isn't it dominating?

Do you also want Wiggins to play PG?

For stretches yes. He's been effective initiating the offense in the little he's done it.

I'm actually wondering if the author of this article has watched many games or listened to what Thibs has said since taking the job. Probably not.

Personally, I wasn't very impressed with it.
Seemed more like it was based on assumptions rather than insightful analysis. For example, Thibodeau has already diminished the time Rubio has the ball... that should have at least been acknowledged.

You can be quick and agile and jump high all you want. It doesn't mean shit if you can easily get pushed around and pushed off your spots. They need some meat on their bones. The skinny fab lasted 1 year for Lebron a few years ago when he dropped all carbs in the summer to come into camp with less weight. He immediately went back to bulking up because he couldn't get to his spots as easily as before. There aren't any twigs dominating this league.

The article is garbage. When he gets down to our offense in detail it becomes clear he doesn't know that he's talking about. Dieter? Is he writing that stuff straight from Germany?
Re: Article: The Timberwolves are the NBA's biggest disappointment
I agree they are the biggest disappointment, but then I neither follow nor care about any of the other teams so I likely wouldn't even know if some other team were underperforming more.

No worries, it's usually a Minnesota team in all other sports as well.
Oh, you meant other teams in the NBA....Never mind.
