I actually in this case like him reposting them in a quote. It shows where we all were just a very little while ago.

For the Wiggins is better than Beal Crowd here is a RotoWorld blurb.

Bradley Beal made 15-of-22 from the field and 13-of-14 from the line for 44 points with three rebounds, 10 assists, two steals, one block and one 3-pointer in 37 minutes during a 137-116 win over the Wolves on Friday.
He's back. Beal just went off for another 44 points against the Celtics on Wednesday, so the slow start looks to be behind him. These two explosions did move him up to a 57.0 TS%, so he's now just a tick down from his 58.1 TS% last year. This was a dream matchup for him with the Wolves allowing the fastest seconds per possession in the NBA, but credit to Beal for coming through. He's back on track as a player with first-round upside in standard leagues.

I know this wiggins and his contract >>>tobias harris and his contract.

I hope Wiggins returns from his two games off the same guy he's been this season. He's been great sports entertainment this yr.
Two games off for Kat seems to have caused a bit of an issue for him. He returned as Angry Karl Townish instead of KAT.

nothing official has been announced, however on ESPN gamecast they say that "the Timberwolves are anticipating that Wiggins will return from a two-game absence due to personal reasons when they visit the Utah Jazz on Monday in the first game of a back-to-back between the teams".

Does anyone know why they play the Jazz back to back?

Probably to see if its going to be a good story for first round playoffs.

Heard today on Radio as they were going through all games tonight that the Minnesota Utah game is the most anticipated for tonight, expecting highly competitive game. Maybe if Wiggins is playing it will be.

Well it seems like a scheduling goof to me. Go to Utah, then two days later play here. Seems to me they should have played Wednesdays game somewhere out west. It would also save money and travel if the played all the Texas games and Cali games at one time. (At least for a road trip.)

I agree it's odd. But that's exactly the kind of thing that happens in playoff series. That would be why I was wondering if it was planned or instead just coincedental and poor scheduling.

Playoffs? Kidding...
However, the Jazz aren't that good. So if we even make the PO's I doubt we would see them in the first round.

One stat I appreciate most about Wiggins is his 1.1bpg. Really enjoy every his block.

People might not care, but Wiggins is now an 84 in 2k

Does this mean he's played himself just high enough to be tradeable? I can hear his agent now, "but he's an 84 on 2k!"

I wish the little experiments with him playing primary ball handler would just go full time. That was fun to see and it would really make things interesting if he stayed engaged all the time. I really hate to see him standing around in a corner from the setup.

Would also be funny that we drafted a tall SG/SF to attempt to mold into a PG when we already had exactly that in Wiggins.

I don't think the team ever said that they were trying to mold Culver into a PG.
