I thought he'd get more shots. Still looks shook AF and Bogut not looking to score either means teams can just triple team DIrk.
By diehard Go To Postat least wait till the regular season startsIt gets worse
Thankfully Matthews will be bitter enough to take over the team and stick Barnes in the corner where he belongs.
By P.SY! Go To Postwinslow lowkey shat on kawhi tonight but imma stay quietnaw i feel you
preseason yeah yeah
mkg has me shook right now. he still doesn't look up to speed.
By P.SY! Go To PostIt's only the preseason tho.money well spent
By vic Go To PostIt's only the preseason tho.
Similar numbers to his finals games with significantly better team mates too. Just who he is.
By blackace Go To PostBarnes might just destroy the Mavs franchise
Think he's in for some real trouble as their second/third option this year. No open shots with Bogut & Powell in the front line.
They'll have some cap space year with Bogut + Deron going & team option on Devin Harris. Dirk is a team option too if they really wanted to blow it up. They just desperately lack any shot creators and Barnes can't even hit open shots let alone make his own. Which is hilariously sad considering the rap on him starting at UNC.
He had some ridiculous finishing at the rim % for the first half of his rookie year. Then he had that series against the Spurs. I think everyone just has him scouted and he clearly gives too many fucks about looking like a clown.
Yea his issue is he doesn't want to make the bad plays he should to get better.
He played like a spot up shooter for UNC as well. He's not willing to look like a fool by working on his flaws to get better.
To get better at the dribble drive you have to keep trying to handle into the paint and likely ending up on your ass without a foul call until the game slows down and your finishing improves. Barnes said miss me with all that.

By DY_nasty Go To Postnaw i feel youI thought MKG looked good when he was defending Wiggins. Drew really couldn't do anything against him.

Wiggins pre-season play in general is mildly concerning. If he's not bullying his way to the basket, he isn't doing anything, which is basically the story of his two full seasons.
By rodeoclown Go To PostI thought MKG looked good when he was defending Wiggins. Drew really couldn't do anything against him.the fact that he hasn't developed a real jumper yet would concern me if I was a t'wolves fan... he has the tools to be insane but he seems to be settling into just being good

By vire Go To PostPre season champs psy?… did Winslow really do that to kawhi?
By P.SY! Go To PostI guess Smith will get minutes at center after all.
yep, but I'll believe he can actually defend that position for 15 minutes a night and block shots when I actually see it
By P.SY! Go To Post
By DY_nasty Go To Post
these fucking coaches man
why this dude taking a charge like leo on titanic
By Dark PhaZe Go To Postyep, but I'll believe he can actually defend that position for 15 minutes a night and block shots when I actually see it
By knux-future Go To PostOubre for Noel…
do it Faze
porter and a 1st
By blackace Go To Postthe fact that he hasn't developed a real jumper yet would concern me if I was a t'wolves fan… he has the tools to be insane but he seems to be settling into just being goodIt's definitely something I'm considering a lot this season. It's his third year, so he should be primed to take a big leap. This is when he needs to show that he does things besides score by getting to the line. He even talked a big game about how he doesn't want to get out-rebounded by Ricky again, but, uh, that's been the exact same in an admittedly very small sample size.
It's weird to think that Zach has shown a lot more growth since they came into the league, though I guess he did have a lot of ground to make up.
Been high on Zach since day 1...I think the experiment at PG was good for his development but it wasn't needed in year 2...
Wiggins played a lot of 2 so far as well right?

By unknown Go To Postkp learned a lot I see.
His offense beast. Defense Mia tho
First decent defensive team we've played preseason and we look like trash, lol.
By P.SY! Go To PostlmaoWhat a moron. Les so thirsty for that China money, and he gets it tarnished by some scrub who won't be on the roster in two weeks.

Thibs has played his starters for over ten minutes in the third quarter. They're all between 25-30 so far. It's pre-season.

By P.SY! Go To PostI was watching the box score like….wtf? half our dudes are resting and spo didn't even play winslow past the 1st quarter.No kidding. The Wolves play again tomorrow, too, so this is the perfect game to throw Bjelica, Dunn, Bazz 30+ minutes each.
He's going to ride his starters straight to hell this year.
