How about this one? Of guys averaging >24.0 mpg, he's 5th in this aggregated rim protection stat (and 8th overall).

1. Gobert
2. Duncan
3. Hibbert
4. Whiteside
5. KAT

Rubio finally returns, puts up horrible stat line but the twolves finally have a good defensive game after like 4 straight bad ones. And force 20+ turnovers. Hmmm. Weird.

:P

Zach LaVine: a good basketball player.

Wiggins was such a monster in the 4th. Just relentlessly taking it into the teeth of the defense and playing absolute shut down D. God that kid is good.

wtf moar BAZZ fellation

also KAT is obv ~Tim Duncan. real easy to build around, great teammate, likes basketball

just gotta hope he stays off the strippers and the baby mamas and fathering like 193 children, like 8 kids is a manageable number when he's pulling 30m a year for ~12 years when his rookie deal expires

GREAT game! Sam coached the **** out of that game.

The Adrian Payne Experience is a hell of a ride. He's been great the last couple of games. Bjelly and KMart have sucked. Gotta be tough to coach a team where you never know which guys will be great or terrible.

At least this year we have options if someone is playing badly

Towns & Wiggins are awesome, but Rubio is our most important player still.

Any word if Ricky is playing tonight? Also, are we going to be seeing Pek soon? He will be a nice compliment to this team.

I haven't heard anything yet

Payne will start in KG's spot tonight

----------------------

I've been ok with most of what Sam has done this year and I know he's played well the last two games but I'd rather have Bjelica start and Payne come off the bench.

Bjelly has hit a wall. He and Martin. This will be 6 games in 8 days which is awesome for me but also kind of crazy.

I was not behind Mitchell as a long-term coaching prospect when it became apparent Flip was done, but I have to say I've been impressed so far. I thought his lineups were really good last night and his foul Whiteside (while ahead, even) strategy was nice. Both ballsy and smart, which is rare among pro coaches in any sport.

Wolves are generating a lot of open looks as well as getting to the line and on defense they're contesting shots around the rim. They're going to be a tough team to beat if they play this way consistently
