Thought I would kick this off after reading this ESPN article on Wiggins.

I'm going to go out on a limb and predict Wig outscores Love tonight...

I am going to go further out on the limb. I bet Love gets more rebounds.

Ouch. That's mean.

Usually my m.o. is to bet and lose money on the Wolves. But tonight I had to bet against them. Laid the 7 points and took the Cavs. Bron Bron is angry and his team really needs a win. I hope to be wrong but I see a big effort out of him and his teammates tonight. Cavs by 15 to 20.

Wow, great article by Windhorst. I think he nailed it in terms of describing both the hope and disappointment associated with Wiggins. This part stuck with me the most:

Now in his third season, Wiggins' career has been characterized by breathtaking moments offset by long, frustrating doldrums. He is regarded by scouts and executives as one of the most talented players in the league but also the most frustrating because his effort ebbs and flows.

I think all we can do is cross our fingers and hope that his journey to greatness simply requires more time, patience, and a good dose of cajoling from Thibs.

I dislike most of Windhorst's stuff -- for Lebron James bobo reasons -- but a pretty solid article.

Let's kick 'em while they are down!

Over the last 11 games the Wolves are 8-3, the Cavs 4-7. No Love, Birdman or JR Smith.

I am VERY excited to see what Wiggins does this time against teh Cavs, we all know he gets up for these games without question
