Arrrrooooo!!! Another great win!

P.S. Both the 'Wolves and my fantasy team teasing me by still being in sight of the last playoff seed lol

We really need to start hitting those open threes we have been getting.

The swarming defense has been on point for the last few games. Love it!

This game is the definition of why i have a strong love-hate relationship with Wiggs.

Rubio on the other hand, just love. <3

Yeah Rubio is playing like a madman. Towns doesn't show up in the 2nd half, Wiggy doesn't show up in the 1st half, but Rubio is there every freaking second to hold the team together.

Yes. But given the choice. I like the way we are playing right now.

Kat in the post, wiggs attacking the rim, and Ricky orchestrating as our offense while we play suffocating defense.

I love the way we are playing right now. I wouldn't trade that for a couple of more made 3's.

Btw, Belly was HUGE this game.

Ricky was the MVP. No doubt about that.

Agree.

Dieng is basically a starter in name only right now. Bjelly is getting all the important minutes.

Ricky is the engine that drives this team and keeps them on the rails. I really hope Thibs sees that and keeps him around.

And those 3's were kind of rushed, I saw a lot of bad takes just because the guys didn't have good body control on those shots. I'm talking about Rubio's corner one and a few of Bjelly's. It was all nervousness, stage fright, a lot of our guys showed that tonight, but somehow pulled through.

If Kat can win that battleat and Rubio can force Curry into a poor shooting night (he's done it a few times), then we can win.

Did I call it or what?

KAT > Green + Rubio > Curry = Wolves Win

That And-one play by Wiggins after the Curry three free-throws was HUGE.

nor would I. I am not asking us to change how we play, we are getting three's in this offense we just cant hit them. Bjelly missed 3 or 4 today. Rush bricked a couple, Bazz a couple. We need to start getting those points. NBA offenses are too potent for us to be leaving all those points on the table. That's really the only major flaw I think we have right now with our current play. We bring defense, we bring good offense, but we need that 3 point punch. It would make a big difference in a game like tonight. Same looks, just make more of them. Just two of those big back breaking three's could have changed the whole complexion of the game.

Good game the wolves earned this.

You guys are going to be really good. This is a young team that can get better.You already have KAT and Wiggins.
This was great for the league and for the fans. No one can take games off.Let's have some more meaningful games down the stretch.

Lets not get too carried away with Rubio as he only had 2 pts in the 2nd half. Towns had 4, Bjelly 2, Bazz 3. Most of our guys couldn't make a shot in the 2nd half. Ricky had a great game overall though. It's tough going through those dry spells.

It would help if Bjelly could make a 3 when it counts. He went totally cold in the 2nd half. Apparently he makes them all in practice.
