    thinly-disguised DMo-is-the-X-factor comment. ;)

    Yes that is true, but I am just interested in seeing us have another C that can catch lobs and protect the rim. Somebody else said "now we have have 48 mins of lobs to our C". When Clint sat that part of the offense was gone since Nene is not a lob catcher anymore. He does other things from the C position. Should be pretty easy for Wright to catch on. Set a screen and roll to the paint and either catch the bounce pass or the lob and put it down.

    you know, I think D-Mo would be a good fit for current team: good or at least not bad Defense, spacing...

    You think his bad back would hold up against NBA Post Season aggression. Then there's his better relationship with the front office.

    Trap game for TWolves. CP3 devastates Minnesota with +/-.

    Did y'all read the article on the chronicle this morning that Mike is planning to reduce minutes? I'll believe it when I see a 10 man rotation. Would be great to roll into the playoffs with fresh legs.

    doubt well see 10 on most occasions. 9 is likely more going to be the norm.

    these are just Brandon wrights highlights from 2015 when he was bounced to three separate teams. The dude is one of the best lob dunkers, and his high pick and role seem to be on par with Clint Capela.. If the guy was able to average 9 points in fifteen minutes having the likes of devin harris be his primary lob thrower, expecting awesome stuff from him goes with out saying.. Having a center position contributing for almost 22-24 points at close to 70% shooting is making me salivate :)
