The MIL loss last night was a big stinking turd. That's the worst we've played in a while.

Dudes were so tired. We threw passes into the stands on 3 of the first 6 possessions. And it went from there.

The 10 Most Difficult Games Left on the Schedule

April 4th @ Golden State Warriors
April 12th @ Houston (road back-to-back)
March 10th v. Golden State Warriors
March 21st v. San Antonio Spurs
April 7th @ Utah Jazz (road back-to-back)
March 15th @ Boston Celtics
March 11th @ Milwaukee Bucks (road back-to-back)
March 25th @ Portland Trailblazers (road back-to-back)
March 13th v. Washington Wizards
Tonight v. Los Angeles Clippers

Yes, the Clippers may be better than the Bucks and the Blazers, but the fact that those games are not only on the road but also games that follow a game the night before, the odds of a Wolves win drops. Specifically, the Utah and Portland games are back-to-backs in the midst of a road trip. According to DatabaseBasketball.com, an average NBA team (which the Wolves arguably are) lose road-road back-to-backs 67.1 percent of the time since 2001.
The 10 Easiest Games Left on the Schedule

March 30th v. Los Angeles Lakers
March 24th @ Los Angeles Lakers
April 9th @ Los Angeles Lakers

Date TBD v. Portland Trailblazers
April 6th @ Portland Trailblazers
March 28th @ Indiana Pacers
April 11th v. Oklahoma City Thunder
March 17th @ Miami Heat
3-1 on those hardest 10 games. Pretty awesome.

Winning the lottery and having had the last 4 number one picks on the team would be nice. Hell I'd probably give Bennett a training camp deal just to have them all on the team at the same time

That was brutal. Everyone tried to play 1 on 5 at the end and they lost their minds.

Wolves now 23-19 in games that they have a 15 point lead. I believe there are teams that haven't blown a 15 point lead yet.

Losing like that to the lakers was pathetic.

I think that stat is for 10 point leads.

We have a legit shot at the 4th worst record, although the knicks will probably never win again.

I am having a argument on another board about Wiggins and Rubio. I want to win this argument.

he says,
"By the way, league average eFG% is .512 and Wiggins’ eFG% is .482. That is well below-average. That means that his average shooting night puts his team at a disadvantage, whether you believe it or not."

"Andrew Wiggins has a below-average TS% with high usage. Considering that he does nothing else well, he is a bad player.

WS48 .065 (meh)
BPM -2.7 (haha)
VORP -0.5 (yup)
WP48 -0.019 (of course)"

"Wiggins is flawed in many more ways. He is not even close to the player that Rubio is, but of course, since he was a #1 overall pick, people will point to “upside” until the day he retires. Kwame Brown played for 12 seasons. Bargnani, 10. Darko, 9. NBA coaches have nothing if not hubris."


rubios ts% is inflated this year due to his 89% ft, no? he still is a terrible finisher at the rim no? he still is a meh shooter from mid range and deep no?

wiggins still has to share the floor with non shooters rubio and dieng, no?

in my eyes wiggins has improved this year. league avergae ts% on his usage is a impressive building block in my eyes.

yes his defense is lackluster but it comes down to more of his technique, awareness, and positioning? things that can be taught under THIBS?

having flip saunders and sam mitchell be your first 2 coaches certainly cant help things
