Wiggins a better 2 guard than a 3 and the Wolves should probably address this. Lavine is great, but having a 3 and D small forward in his place would be a hell of lot better.

The fact that KD had 29, Steph had 30, Klay had 30, Day had 14 and the Warriors only beat the SUNS by 13 points is disturbing.

Really, the Suns outplayed the Warriors 43 out of 48 minutes last night.

The Warriors didn't really pull away until the last 5 mins.


The only Suns player I trust during crunch time is Devin Booker, but he's suffering from turf toe.If I'm the Suns, I shut him down for a week or 2.


Earl Watson's not slick.That Brandon Knight/Barbosa "all chuck" backcourt he played most of the 4th last night is covert tanking.

I see you, Earl:youngsabo:

Yeah, this was apparent his rookie year. His post game makes him really hard to guard for other 2 guards and with Belly starting last night, it opened up the floor in a different way. It seems Wiggins and Lavine take turns getting the ball and their shots when they are together so bringing Lavine off the bench I think would make the team better. Starting Bjelicia gave him a chance to get in a rhythm shooting the ball and he looked real good running fast breaks as the point man which was good to see. Wolves got the talent, they just gotta figure out lineups that won't let their offense go stagnant for 3-4 minutes at a time.

KAT has to become more willing to be in the paint and stop forcing shots. I think he wanted to be a MVP type player and forgot he isn't playing in New Orleans and he shouldn't have to work that hard for his stats. He has to pass better and be willing to kick it out. Wiggins was looking like an above average creator with some of the passes he was making out of drives. His vision is improving and if the team can start making open shots, his assist numbers will go up. But this was definitely the most active game he had around the rim which got him some extra rebounds and loose balls.

Lot of bad teams out there. Wonder if we'll actually see a lot of big names moved at the deadline this year if teams finally realize they aren't going anywhere
