Dean Wade's defense is REALLY good.

He’s a little knee-buckley sometimes, but he’s really good holding 2-5s in front of him and he’s a pretty underrated help guy.

What's up Okoro?!

Back to the 8 man rotation, oh well, a win is a win.

Nothing to complain about today great win the only thing I can Nick pick is Mitchell sometimes it's like he just takes a shot because it's his turn and early in the game it seemed like he was forcing it to and then kind of got with the program as everybody else was sharing the ball really well

JBB needs to take his starters out with 4 minutes left up 24 on the first night of a back-to-back.

So is Kevin Love just out of the rotation altogether?

Might be trying to see what they can get between now and Thursday.

But doesn’t that just hurt his trade value? And Love is extremely valuable to us when he’s able to hit his shots. We might as well try to get him back into a groove if possible, especially with how well Rubio is playing right now (9 assists tonight in 20 minutes of playing).

I know I’ve already made a mention of it, but Wade’s defense is really good. It’s about time the league starts recognizing Wade as a legitimate 3/D player, because he’s actually a good one.

The only thing I will say however is that I think it’s better for us to have him come off the bench for now. If Love isn’t going to be able to come back into the rotation, then we’re better off using Wade as a stretch four to help give Rubio room to run the offense.

I don't think it hurts his value if he sits out a couple few games prior to the trade deadline to ensure he doesn't get injured.

Mitchell is struggling with the hamstring injury. Seems like he's trying to figure out whether he can just play through it or if and how he needs to adapt his game.

Garland is better at (more used to) dialing back his game when his shot is off.
