I'm not getting the Teague criticism tonight or even the previous game. Seems ridiculous when he's playing well. If he was stinking it up sure but criticizing him when he's playing well seems silly


he stunk up the previous game. He stunk up the first 5 minutes of his this game. We went into a hole.

Reid saved the first couple minutes of the 2nd this game. Reid sprung Teague for his last basket with insane play and was part of the two man defense stopping everything. Credit Ryan for playing Reid.

Let's go Napier/Reid now for a bit.


Yea you're just talking to be taking when it comes to Teague. It's clear you're not rational when it comes to him. Just like you were killing Culver at one point

You're usually a good poster but I wont engage you again about this topic

Looks confident on both ends.
It does look like he's caught up to the speed.

I do lov this going direct to the net. 3s are great, but high percentage aggressive net scoring is great to keep running up the score and not let them back into it easy.

Better defensive effort in the second. Portland really was absent under the basket on defense.
When luck shuts the door skill comes in through the window.

Have to have this from Wig more frequently
Wasn't doing anything special, no tough shots, no absurd drives
Just was being an athletic freak not making poor decisions with ball

Literally changes the franchise when he doesn't settle, looks to pass, takes advantage of mismatches, simple stuff

Return to Minnesota Timberwolves
