After an epic game 1, the wolves go back to their true underwhelming selves.
I guess the good thing about this series is Wiggins can really show what his true value is.

Harden has 12 pts on 2/18 and they still smash MIN by 20. Damn.

As a duo, Jimmy Butler and Karl-Anthony Towns averaged 43.5 points per game this season. The Rockets have held the pair to a total of 37 points in Games 1 and 2 combined. Terrible shooting game for Harden, but he played some great defense and contributed in other ways. CP3 bounced back and the end result was closer to what we saw in most of their regular season match ups. Still was a below average shooting game for the Rockets as a whole.

In Utah/OKC game, Mitchell dominated, looking like a young D Wade. Westbrook, George and Anthony combined to miss all 14 field goals in the fourth quarter and score just two points.

Yea Towns has been worse than Wiggins. Jimmy might still be recovering but Towns has no excuse.

they need to get KAT more shots, like 9 shots in both game 1 and 2 is not enough. derrick rose is getting MORE or same amount of shots than KAT in LESS minutes.

I don't know if they have a system. People get on D'Antoni all the time for not doing anything on defense. Well, people don't get on these defensive gurus enough for not doing anything on offense.

Jeez, one would think JJ Reddick is the best player in the series based on this quarter.

lol Wade grabs a guys arm and aggressively pulls him down to the floor - he could have easily dislocated his shoulder - and the refs give a double tech. wtf??

It wasn't how good he was, it was that the 76ers were weirdly feeding him on like every possession. It looked like one of those 2006 Kobe teams where he had to be part of everything.

No clue how this is on Wiggins unless you are click baiting? Towns has absolutely disappeared, and basically no one played great. This post smells of someone who didnt watch the game spewing their bias.


Calm down JimmiC. I just mean that, on one level, people everywhere I read and watch seem to have made their minds that Wiggins is a "mediocre player in a superstar body" (if they are being generous) or "literally the worst player in NBA history" (I exaggerate, but that seems the idea). On another level, I see see him having 16+ games with decent stats and people still bash on him. I don't watch Wolves regular season games, that is why I always ask why people here are brutal on Wiggins despite ok-ish numbers. You will remember that I asked the anti-Wiggins group if it is because he is underperforming his superstar #1 pick expectation, or he is just objectively bad.

And in game, he had a great plays in the end of the game that could have really helped his case had he shone through them, and add to the fact that he performed well when Buckets was out, then you see where I'm coming from.

So essentially, I'm just saying his performance in the playoffs will make any assessment of his value more rational.

I very much doubt it, most people are so flush with confirmation bias that they search only for things that match their opinion. It is like reddit things that are upvoted are not the best ideas or posts, they are the ones that people agree with most. Very few will change their minds no matter what he does for better or worse.

I kinda agree. Even after a good game 1 and good-ish game 2 people on every forum still bag on him, same here. I don't get it. Maybe people just hold him to a much higher standard?

That's why I think this is a good opportunity for Wiggins. Btw, Thibs sucks, for real.

This series proves AD+Pel are better off without Cousins. He could be a great trade asset to get a 3-4 player.
Also, wtf is Dame and the POR doing???

Boogie isn't a fit, and probably isn't a fit for any team that can win 40 games without him. I'd guess his best case is the best player on a 6 seed.

Would the NOP actually be improved if Boogie played this playoffs?
