Wolves tip off their 30th season tomorrow night in San Antonio.

If they start their expected lineup of Teague-Butler-Wiggins-Gibson-Towns, it would mark the 1st time in franchise history MIN has used the
same opening-night starting five in consecutive seasons.

I would think that's pretty uncommon for any NBA team. And not necessarily a good thing anyway.

Really?

You think its rare and potentially a bad thing for a team to have the same starters 2 years in a row?

I think he's up to 4 or 5 blown layups.

Yes, I think it's rare and not a good thing. Your GM should always try to make you BETTER the next season. Guys age. Returning with the exact same starting 5 is a sign of a stagnant team.

Wiggins has been quite a bit better in the 2nd quarter.

Tolliver: 0 shots in 13 minutes. He has ONE JOB. He’s really going to go Mike Miller on us, isn’t he?

Do you know the answer to this question?

We generate the worst shots of any team in the league.

Other teams move the ball with purpose and create open looks, we fight like hell to shoot contested jumpers.

Tolliver attempted almost five 3s in 22 MPG last year. Our offense couldn’t get him a single look….

Derrick Rose played 30 minutes. 30. And he was as bad, or worse, than last year.

Okogie, KBD, Nunnally, Deng: DNP-CD

23 pts on 23 shots. That dude should stick to playing defense and shooting 1/2 as much. He’s not an “alpha” scorer regardless of what he and Thib think

Status: offline 		Was fascinated by Jimmy Petes info on Wolves players all-time opening night records.
It didn't seem possible
KG was 11-2?
(trying to remember off the top of my head)
he had quite a few that were in the 7-3 or 9-4 ranges
It just didn't sound possible. Knowing the Wolves. I assumed everyone was like 2-10.

We did nothing to get KAT the ball. Nothing.

We just don’t pass the ball unless we have to.

Spurs had 323 passes last night. We had 244.
