XIII: The 2016-17 Minnesota Timberwolves Season Thread

[Miggs]

Watched the game last night. Towns is obviously the key in this team taking the leap. I think Wiggins is gonna do his thing this year 23ppg+ and impact the game along with lavine putting in around 18. Towns is gonna get numbers but he needs to establish himself in the paint before jumping out to the perimeter. He's skilled but he can't make himself easy to guard. Stay in the paint and dominant get the dbl teams and kick it out for the shooters and playmakers.

See i disagree with this....Towns can put up 20/10 and do his thing and they can still be a bad team.This team taking a next step is on Wiggins right now.

KAT is already playing like an all star,hes already there,team is waiting for Andrew to catch up to him now so they can contend,this season depends on Wiggins taking that next step much moreso than Towns...

Thibs straight benched these nikkas in the third quarter

3rd quarters seem to be a recurring problem this year

It's definitely a problem.



17, 18, 15

Those are the leads they've blown in losses. All because of runs in the 3rd quarter

Learning process, should be encouraged that they are leading games, they'll clean it up and learn to close.

Oh yeah, I'm definitely encouraged they have been able to get those leads in games. I'm not worried right now. The bench is a problem though.

 

[TrillaMonsoon]

They got these leads in the Kevin Love era

We just don't have any balance. If the starters arent scoring 20+ points a quarter, the bench won't add anything. Shabazz forces shots because he knows he's the only threat off the bench and then shyt like that leads to no seconds chances and bad transition defense. I know they'll get it right and it's part of learning how to win, but they are obviously doing a lot of great things to get the lead then a lot of horrible things to keep blowing leads in the same way.

 

[Wiirdo]

Rubio shouldn't come back to the starting lineup.

 

[kickz]

I am scared of what Westbrook gonna do to us today brehs

He's gonna be looking for warm bodies like Wiggs and Lavine after that GoldenState loss.

 

[kickz]

Lavine and Wiggins tonight

Lavine gonna need to be called Beige-Mamba

 

[Flight]

Tyus probably needs to start until Ricky gets back.

 

[kickz]

Wiggs balled the fukk out tonight

 

[kickz]

Great team win tonight, first time I have seen defensive stops that lead to fast breaks all year.

Man if we get our shyt together on the defensive end
