[gurpilo]

That is exactly what he needs to do, move around when he hasn’t the ball and find the best possible shot

Minn. 120 - - Pells. 110. - - - 

I suppose that the Timber Wolves were saving ALL their good stuff for their next game and used none of it against Atlanta.  

Now, on to the Bud Boys.  We play them while the NFL championship is going on.  Can't watch both.

GO ATL HAWKS !!

The biggest win for Minnesota might've come from their fanbase.

On their board, some guy (speaking of Juan Hernangomez) wrote: "If Hernangomez had played ... we would have Juan."

They also would like to trade us Towns for Capela, Collins and Hunter, lol.

Did anyone else get the feeling that D'Angelo Russell is turning into a non-clutch Jason Terry?  Maybe it is just me.  Seems like a non-playmaker who gets his assists due to his high usage rate and is really an undersized SG destined to be a 4th option on a good team sometime in his future and never a top guy on any good team in his career.

yes. I thought the Wolves offensive flowed much better with Rubio.

I remember thinking, "Dang, this dude was an all-star?"

He's like a Magloire all-star, I guess.  Or, earmuffs kids, a Teague all-star.

There's probably an embarrassingly high number of folks here that would do that terrible deal.

Probably not many right now.  (This guy definitely would not).

He's shooting .400 from deep on 7.5 attempts per game, that is absolutely solid. But, yes you said,  he's not suited to be your number 1. The main reason Minny wanted him was to ensure KAT resigned if you ask me. Like KD, he needs his besties close by.

Terry was solid too (and had numerous seasons shooting ~40% from 3pt range on era adjusted comparable volumes).  Feels like neither is destined to be more than a role player on a good team and that any team that relies on him to be their #1 or #2 is destined for failure.

That would still be horrible.  Towns is vastly overrated.

How about the Jazz? So far they are the most prolific 3 point shooting team in NBA history, averaging 16.8 made threes per game.

Incredible. but i might be a bit concerned as to whether that's sustainable.
