Beasley: "I feel like we could have moved the ball a little bit better"

The only beneficial way to move the ball is to move it to Beasley. Not his fault he can't do that.

What a game. Rubio is definitely the real deal, loved Beasley was finally taking it inside instead of settling for the jumper every single time, Love was the man simple as that, JJB off the p&r with Love was very fun to watch, Tolliver is still a hustler giving us extra possessions & was able to connect from 3, and Derrick Williams was very impressive getting up the court and hitting the 3 ball at a high rate.

Was disappointed in Wes & AR tonight. Tolliver playing a lot in the second half makes me wonder if AR is already in the doghouse. Wes was very quiet and didn't see any improvement out of him. Looked like the same player we witnessed last season, except his body looked bigger/more cut.

Was hoping to see more of Malcolm Lee but from the little time he played, I liked what I saw.

Bonzi Wells was pure trash and him calling for the iso made me smh.

I was following bits & pieces of this thread at the game and I definitely wouldn't be opposed to a Johnson + AR + Ridnour for Iggy trade.

That was probably the most fun I have had a Wolves game in a long time. Every pass Rubio made had people ooowing and awwing. Derrick Williams was IMPRESSIVE to me. I have never seen anyone roll to the basket as fast, hard and as much as him. I swear he could have had three or four more alley oops if Ricky would have had the ball at the time. Love played some damn good defense tonight, was on fire, and was a rebounding machine. Beasley looked really good to me too. Mirroring what pretty much everyone else said. Wes looked lost out there in the first half, AR as well (you can pass the ball, you aren't required to shoot every time lol). Really really really like Barea. Luke was alright. Great to have some excitement around this team.

Kevin Love +23
Beasely +23
Williams +26

That is our frontcourt.

That midnight showing was a disappointment. Showed the worst parts and then skipped good ones - like the entire 2nd half of 1st quarter and the start of the 3pt streak in the 2nd quarter.

got home at 3.30am and went straight to a google search to see if i could find the game...unfortunately saw the score in the process but some legend at above link had put the game up. just finished watching now at 6am and wow was it worth it!!!! even though the back of my mind is yelling "we beat the lakers last year and we shot the lights out tonight"...so hard not to get dam excited abou this teams prospects!!

the only guy's who didn't have good games were AR, pek and bozni really...AR looked all out of sorts and low on confidence. dwill shooting the lights out...that baseline cross over at the start of the 4th for the and 1(thought he might have travelled on the finish) really suprised me with the quickness and handle. ricky is just plain insane, that behind the back, no look pass to tolly for 3 was hilarious..he's definitely going to average 12 maybe even 13+ assists per game at some stage in his career...the guy is ****ing special!!!

that line up of jj/wayne/beas/dwill/kev was just plain filthy...teams HAVE to sub to match our line up and not the other way around. notice it was beas who was making all the posied, patient reads with the passes to the open 3 point shooters, LOVE IT!! also getting himself to the line, forcing the issue..the game looks like it slowed down for him, gonna have a big year.

although wes didn't shoot well i thought he played a good game...he really came down to help out the bigs and crashed the boards. there's really no excuses this year for him not to slash...with the spacing we're going to have there's going to be massive lanes all over the place.

tenacious lee really impressed in his short stint...lock down defense, deflections..corner 3 ball...gonna be NICE!!
darko was really locked in and engaged...this team has such massively contrasting and versatile line ups that it's gonna be terribly hard for teams to quicly adjust to different line ups.

kevin love, superstar...that is all.

Im inclined to say that Darko looked not good but excellent on defense. Looks leaner.

Bogut couldnt score on him if he tried for 3 days.
