Wolves won't be good until they start playing thru Wiggins

[Swagnificent]

(1) Wiggins is by far the best offensive player on the team. But yet they reduce him to spectator for most of the game as Jimmy Butler or Jeff Teague dribbles the ball around like idiots. Wiggins should get more touches in the post and in pick n rolls. They should utilize him as more than a shooter.

(2) Jimmy Butler is a black hole of selfishness. This idea that he should dominate the ball every possession will doom this team. Wolves were better off with Zach Lavine.

(3) Towns is so bad defensively that he should no longer be playing center. I said all summer he should be moved to PF and the Wolves should sign a true rim protecting center.

(4) Why the fukk did they sign Teague if they won't play him in the 4th quarter and have Butler doing most of the ball-handling? Dumbest signing of the off-season. Shoulda gone after George Hill like I suggested.

(5) And finally Tom Thibodeau is a moron. He has absolutely no sense of how to play offense. His teams never have a system offensively. They just take turns isolating or doing pick n roll. Worst coach in the NBA. This team will not win 40 games this year.

fukk Thibs for trading Zach Lavine

Agree Wiggins was 8/14 and had 26 points

They have no spacing or ball movement they just take turns doing isos

Jimmy and Wiggins are redundant wings , thibs should of kept markannan and lavine he traded 2 shooters in a pace n space league

The regression of KAT on the defensive end has to be the most troubling part right now. Everything else is whatever.

Wiggins is way better than Butler. But you are right on everything else. Should have never traded for that scrub.

They were better off doing what I said in the off-season. Sign George Hill, Danilo Galanari, and Javale McGee. Keep LaVine and draft Markannen.

This lineup is better than what they have right now:

PG - George Hill/Tyus Jones
SG - Andrew Wiggins/Zach LaVine
SF - Danilo Galanari/Shabazz Muhammad
PF - Karl-Anthony Towns/Nemanja Bjelica
C - JaVale McGee/Gorgui Dieng

This lineup wins 45-50 games.

Only guy on the team that score off the dribble, from the post, from 3, and in the mid range. He's also killer in transition.

They should be playing thru him instead of Butler.

It's the first game.. But thought same thing after watching a lot of tonight's game...

Wiggins was relegated to like a spot up shooter.. Wiggins x Butler could have trouble meshing.. (not convinced Butler was the root of the issue)

But

I thought he did a pretty good job up until the the 4th where I switched off, as had to leave the crib, going to peep the rest .. I thought teague was trying to hold the ball and do way to much today

OP you dont think towns the better offensive player ?

Towns is a selfish ball-hogging black hole.

He's very skilled offensively but I hate the way he plays. Its not winning basketball.

Butler is not good enough to dominate the ball that much. He ain't LeBron.

If they keep letting him dribble the air out of the ball every play they will not make the playoffs.

The best players on the team are Wiggins and Towns. They should be playing thru them. And Butler should go back to what he was when he played with Derrick Rose. A defense first player who plays off he ball.

Javale has Asthma and can't play starter's minutes.

Otherwise I actualy agree

Never forget that this nikka threw Wiggins in the bushes a few months ago.

 

[Boogie]

The hate this nikka gets on here is unbelievable.
