Wolves vs Rockets GDT: did we already lose?

[BloopOracle]

I have a feeling we are going to get run out of the building

Shit, same time same thought. I'll delete my thread

What happened to Budinger?

This was the Chase we originally traded a 1st rounder away for (which turned out to be Terence Jones by the way - argh!). His recent play could raise his value enough to fetch a second rounder and shed some salary this offseason. We'll see.....

That spin move into the lane and 1 hand dunk by wiggins was sick! What an athlete

Wiggins has been smashing his way through that rookie wall the last few games.

We have a bright future that's for sure, Wiggins was even yelling after that monster dunk on Josh Smith

I really wish rubio can at least come back and play 6 games this season. kg, Pek and martin can shut it down but I really want to see rubio play with these young guys. Also AB needs to get back on the court. He needs these minutes.

After a slow start, we scrapped our way through that affair with grit and dignity. Good to see.

- Wiggins made a couple of the more impressive dunks I've seen all year from him. For those of you that missed the game, I can assure you they will show up in GIFs or highlight film tomorrow. I think him and Harden are developing a bit of a rivalry.

- 20-44 on 3's for the Rockets; 6-14 for the Wolves. Unbelievable. This is what, the fourth time we've played the Rockets? There is really no excuse for not pressing up on EVERYONE beyond the arc except for Dorsey and Howard. Literally every other player has a green light to launch the 3-ball, even if being guarded reasonably close.

- It was tragi-comedy as Wiggins would come down, struggle to post up, and either score in the paint or get beat up drawing a foul. The Rockets would then proceed to come down the floor and knock down a 3. Rinse. Repeat. I mean, it was an impressive display by Wiggins, but we were exchanging 1 or 2 points for their 3 pretty much all night.

- Budinger with yet another impressive night. Man, has he been a late season surprise. I'm really hoping we can cash in on his good play and trade him away for a future pick this offseason.

- Lorenzo Brown is the only guy on our team capable of winning 50/50 balls. I swear, if anyone of our guys are around a loose ball but him, it's going to the other team.

- On the flipside, staying with Brown here, I like his general peskiness out there, but he has trouble staying in front of guys. I've seen guards blow by him pretty easily a few times these last few games....Something to keep an eye on. His shot was not good tonight either.

- Justin Hamilton has been pretty useless since his migraines. He's very similar to Dieng in that if his man gets within a few feet of the rim, he just folds up shop and goes into the fetal position.

OK, back to the Duke-Utah game!

Andrew Wiggins is the best 20 year old guard/wing at posting up that I have ever seen. I don't think you guys realize how rare it is for him to have that skill already. He was in beast mode in the 4th quarter, playing like the man he will become.
