Surprised nobody posted a game thread yet.

Kobe got his 9 points. Then the Wolves step on the gas and get back in the game

Did Bazz get injured? Because how can he not be in the game after scoring 28?

Oh he finally got in with 20 seconds left. Poor guy.

There was a stretch in the 4th quarter he was playing pretty selfish ball, he was not passing, and there was a 4 on 2 and he shot a wild shot. He has played very good but he got tunnel vision and I would have put him on the bench also.

This replay system is a joke, it takes forever to make a decision, there should be a 24 second shot clock and if they can't overturn it, it is not overturned.

Sure hope Wiggins comes back next season with Bazz's intensity and determination! Oh, and a more reliable shot!

Yeah, Wiggins had a nice first half and then really struggled in the second half. And after two early rebounds, he didn't get a single other rebound, assist, steal, or block the entire game. He simply has to do more to make his presence felt. His defense was solid, although I'd still like to see him fight harder to anticipate and get over or through screens.

Bazz got pulled in the 4th because he was going for his everytime he touch the ball. It was effective the first 3 quarters but once the d started clamping down, he couldn't make the 'team' play. He blew a fastbreak chance and just didnt make the right pass and play. He was going to shoot it everytime he touches it. You know how flip value his system so he was not going to let bazz get away with selfish ball.

That said, bazz was huge the first 3 quarters, but he is what he is. Fip uses him the best way he could. Which is ride him when he is hot but pull him when he starts disrupting our offensive flows by not playing within the system.

I wonder if this would be a problem with Shabazz if we would have had someone else that was actually scoring. I think he would be a great end of game option in most cases because he doesn't need a play called for him. If you have a primary scorer you call his name and Shabazz can work the defense as they either create a shot for themselves or pass it to him.
