It wasn't play calling. The execution was terrible. Wiggins got a good look but missed. That wasn't the problem. Towns shooting a 30 footer because he wants to be the hero and Rubio throwing the ball away were the problem.

The biggest problem the T-Wolves have right now is Wiggins. He's one of the most one dimensional players in the NBA. He's an awful defender, mediocre rebounder and a blackhole on offense with no discernible passing skills. Towns has developed into a dominant, unstoppable offensive player and a terrific rebounder as well. He's very flawed on the defensive end but he's only 21 and I expect him to improve. Towns should touch the ball on every possession but all too often I see Wiggins going one on one. As soon as he gets his hands on the ball he's decided he's putting up the shot, he has tunnel vision and its hurt this team.

I mostly agree with you about Wiggins game but I'm not willing to go there as far as him being the biggest problem just yet.

He's not developing at the pace which was originally expected, given the extensive hype surrounding him. He hurts them significantly on defense and also on offense with his inability or unwillingness to share the ball. Towns is a polished force on offense, he just needs to work on his defense. What the T-Wolves need is for Wiggins to step his game up and become a true second option to Towns and I don't think he has. I think he's mostly an empty stats player presently, similar to Jerry Stackhouse.

Towns is great but the times I've watched him he rushes at the end of games and jacks up horrible shots. Wiggins makes better decisions late in games and tends to get better shots. He's had some late game success too. Wiggins is a stud and this team will be in the playoffs next year.

I'll still take the TWolves roster over the Sixers 100X out of 100. It's a lot easier to replace a coach than it is to replace marginal talent with really good talent.

day drinking ?

Nah will be around this time next week though. Getting out of town for about 4-5 days

that was a really tough loss last night
not panicking yet, but i have concern
they've had a bad pattern of taking big 1st half leads then coming out ice cold in the 2nd half....last night was no different, had a double digit lead going into the half that evaporated in the 3rd quarter
it was close down the stretch but the Wolves got way too 3 happy...shockingly, compared to previous years, they are shooting a good % from 3, but it was a 1-2 possession game in the final ~3 minutes, and they just started jacking up 3's when there was really no need to. Towns and Wiggins are decent enough, but in a close game down the stretch I want them taking the ball to the rim, not idling out by the arc.
I know inconsistency is going to be an issue with a young team, but they've someone got to find a way to be more disciplined down the stretch
