Dion Waiters: I'd rather go 0-30 than 0-9

T-Wolves have won 8 of their last 11. So that's something. They get Cleveland tonight.

Their defense is notably improved since November and December. Wiggins is actually looking to pass on drives. Towns is calming down and playing really well. They're learning to win close games. Good times.

Plus Rubio had a legit good game recently.

Rubio has been going through a lot in his personal life this year. I really like him as a player, he does so many things on the court that don't show up in a box score. He's not elite by any means (shooting will always be a problem), but he does a lot of things really well and has a cheap contract.

Modern NBA has discarded the Rubios. He like a 23 year old with a 4 year college degree...

Turns out his bones and muscles couldn't support such a boulder of a human.

I love the green shoes Wiggins rocks

Rubio has been very good so far

Well, that second half got ugly fast. RIP optimism.

I love him too. He is a master level passer, and a very good defender. But he has the shot of a sixth grader.

Everyone needs to remember just how young these core guys are too. Just imagine how good they could be in 2-3 years.

Karl-Anthony Towns 21
Andrew Wiggins 21
Zach LaVine 21
Kris Dunn 22
Tyus Jones 20
Shabazz Muhammad 24

Celts only 2.5 games back from Cleveland.

Dave Pasch spent about 5 minutes defending Lebrons honor during Bulls/Thunder tonight. Him and Doris kissed Wade's ass too and discussed his future late in the game like he's still a relevant difference making star.

They need to trade for Butler. Isaiah will get trapped to death in the playoffs. No secondary scorer or ball handler on that team.

I expect them to go out in the first round again.

I agree, but I don't think Butler gets them over Cleveland. I think it gets them out of the first round, though, and maybe more, but this edition of the C's have yet to win a playoff series. I dunno I almost want them to hold off on trading the pick.

Indiana Chicago or Charlotte scare you? The Pistons? I could see them as second round fodder but Stevens is too good of a coach to lose to any of those teams.
