Flip tanked so hard and shamelessly for the first pick. It was destined to become a transcendend player.

It's pretty impressive that of the three games so far, Towns off-night was 23p/11r/4a/2s/1b.

As leader KAT might regret this suspension later this season. GSW is certainly out of playoff race, while we could still get there if we make a good trade. These two games might be difference between 8 and 9 place in final standings.

P.S. I think it should be a good lesson for Karl. Glad that it happened now without serious consequences like injuries, extended suspension etc.

So we were going to beat Milwaukee with him? That was already pretty much a guaranteed loss on the schedule imo before the suspension.

As for Washington, I wouldn't completely rule out a win even without Towns. I think it will be a close, competitive game.

Now these two are guaranteed losses.

Has Towns taken some heat out of his game to allow Wiggins to shine a bit? I think that's pretty good growth to see if so. The way he started the season beasting just proved he can whenever. Some called it rust when he came back from two games off but Idk about that. Question is, if he does start beasting again, do the others fall off the planet again? Just wondering. 25 and 10 seems like plenty if it means the rest of the team can better get involved at high levels.

My TV package lets me see about 25-30 Wolves games each year. I've been rather anti-Towns but I am beginning to believe that there are some differences this year; differences in his game and perhaps differences in his overall attitude. Is that a realistic assessment?

I disagree.

I've never thought it would be a very big part of his game. His strength is around the elbows. Not that I think he can't make them, I just don't think it'll be a part of his game like that. He's not Kevin Love or Ryan Anderson.

I'll take an L on this one.....

It's really remarkable how Towns has developed his game. When he entered the league, a lot of Wolves fans were just hoping for a Horford career, but he didn't need long to exceed those expectations.

Major L, what a terrible take

Towns will be better than Dirk, if not already in this stage of their careers
