A quick early 3 from Towns isn't what you're looking for.

Knight beats Wiggins baseline like he's standing still.

Um you mean, when he ran out to contest after he helped on the roll?

He was standing right in front of him. Maybe talking different plays.

I'd really like the team to work on break away spacing. We consistently turn it over or get bad shots on breakaways.

I do not know why.

Man...that end of quarter play, go and re-watch it. Everyone passed but Lavine, who had Bjelica wide open as the next guy. Instead, two dribbles and contested long two (miss). That would have been such a nice play.

Wed be close to .500 with either Dudley or Tucker as our first wing off the bench instead of Bazz.

The play where the clock was running out? Tough to blame Zach on that, he's a good shooter and we needed to get a shot up.

Bjelica should've passed it there too, right Les?!

Three seconds, a ten foot pass and - as we all learned - the pass is always faster than the feet. As i said - if you can, go re-watch it.

Ah! The luxury of a PG like Knight who can break you down.

It just seems that way. It's the Thibs style offense. Zach, Wigs, and Towns can get their shots without a PG. Thats the theory.
