Best game of Wiggins' career and we finally followed the first to 100 rule.

Happy to see Thaddeus have a 20 point. Seems like its been two months since that happened.

Man, this #1 pick is out of the question. We're competitive and we don't even have Rubio, Shabazz, Pek or Martin. When the Wolves are healthy in the 2nd half of the year, they are going to win games

NO isnt better than us.
Denver isnt better than us.
Sacramento isnt better than us.
Utah isnt better than us.

With everybody healthy, of course.

The scary thing is Wiggins looks this good without Rubio. Him next to Rubio is gonna be a whole other ballgame.

WE could still easily have big losing streaks even when we get everyone back. Also, who is to say players wont go down again at some point. I think we are def going to have a bottom 5 record and thus still be in the running for a top two pick

Schedule is about to get a lot tougher.

I wish we could trade Thad, Bennett and Bud for cap space. Add in a top 3 pick and were an awfully interesting place for an all star free agent.

Lakers are 4 games ahead of us, Boston is 6.5 games ahead of us. That's a lot.

I'd wait a year. Add a top 5 pick this year, then add a top 10 pick next year. Get out of all of the bad deals and (Bennett, Thad, Bud) then sign a max FA when Wiggins is becoming the big thing.

More observations from the game: Hummel is a much better player than Bud and Bennett. Play him accordingly.

Might as well go for top picks every year! We will be a Summer League juggernaut.

Even with how crap Kahn was drafting we were 1 obvious pick away from a contender. (Cousins or Curry for Flynn or Wes). Ricky can be a great 3rd wheel, Wiggins can be 1A, we need 1B.

In the first 4 games of the season we were averaging 20+ pages in games/threads.

in this days we can't pass 10 pages.

Man, i miss those days.
Everybody was excited.

Wiggins can be the next big thing in the NBA. If the basketball gods that send him here are willing to give us a top 2 pick im very confident in make a team who can compete for a championship down the road.

31 points on 17 shots. Thats so beautiful!

Wiggins finally had the coming out party that will silence this idiotic talk about him not being a good player. Kid was insane tonight. Also relieved to see T Young have a good one. We need two more weeks of this to get him traded.

server timeout error 504 kept me off the forum for 40+ minutes. That doesn't help page count either.

Great audition to Mike Malone!

Love that whenever we lose one Stud, another one just comes on in and replaces them! Lose KG, big Al emerges! Trade Big Al, K Love emerges! Trade K Love, Wiggins emerges!
