Wiggs looks much bigger this year, but i think the added weight is slowing him down. Instead of a gliding with those long strides, he looks like hes lumbering.

I haven't had a chance to watch a game yet due to my schedule, but have you guys noticed any differences compared to last year? Even if it's still only pre-season.

Wolves are going to be my 2nd favorite team, so I expect to follow them all season. Really hoping Towns and Wiggins take that next step, because man this team will be scary good if they do.

Good contest by Wiggins, unblockable shot by KD

His early clock long contested 2 vs one of the best perimeter defenders in the league? Yeah. Gotta do better.

Made a few good plays since.

Good on the wolves for fighting their way back into this. We were on the verge of a 20 pt blowout early.

I'm honestly not worried. I'm sure some will declare the season is over, but I'm not going to overreact to preseason against the best team in the league. They make every opponent look silly at times.

We shot 30% and we're only down 5 at half.

Butler is so good with the ball, too bad Thibs is so conventional

JB as the primary ballhandler on offense with a guy like Bradley, Mills or KCP that can defend opposing PGs and play off the ball would be dynamite

Just not going to maximize Butler's peak years playing most of his minutes with a stock PG like Teague

That possession that ended with the Klay baseline J was great defense!
