Jazz vs Wolves

I can nearly guarantee a Jazz loss Monday. We choke putting together winning streaks.

Getting healthy though. If this team wants to be in the playoffs, now is the time. You are right though. We love to gain an ounce of momentum then flop. It's brutal.

I'm not convinced Wiggins is a transcendent talent. He's a great athlete. Will still be a good player, but nothing like a Lebron or KD.

I'd still Parker over him, and I'd take Lavine over Wiggins

Wiggins just doesn't do much else besides score. Which is why he will still be good. But where are the assists, rebounds, steals, blocks ?

It's not just the numbers, when watching the game tonight I would forget wiggins was on the floor. He doesn't have IT. Towns has IT. Levine has a spark. Minny would never do it, but they might be better off trading wiggins to Phoenix for Devin Booker. The spot up 3pointers by Booker would be spread out the floor so wonderfully for towns.

Although, Wiggings does attack very strong, maybe they keep wiggins and ditch Rubio for Lavine to start or get a pg who can shoot threes.
 
Wiggins is averaging over 20 ppg. Hayward shut that down tonight. Tonight was his season low. Also season low in reb and has only a handful of other games without an assist.

You can't be serious.

Wiggins, while I agree I don't think he is going to be a top-10 player, is still a two way monster. The only thing that really worries me about him is the lack of a 3pt shot.

He is miles ahead of LaVine and light-years ahead of Parker.

He's not ahead of LaVine though. He is just getting more minutes than him. If you took Rubio off the team and Lavine was full time point guard, his numbers would look better across the board. Lavine can rack up the assists and rebounds if given the opportunity. Wiggins does none of that.

I think Wiggins biggest problem is going to be that he doesn't have great handles for a guard.

I don't know, reading Timberwolves fans opinions and they really don't want Lavine as a point guard.

Nice to see Favors and Gobert looking like their old selves. Hood was solid. He definitely shot the ball more in the second half.

Wondering what we could get for Booker in a trade.

All this.
When healthy the jazz are quite good

Different for Lebron. He had a year in the league as a pro under his belt.

Also, it's a common adage that big men take longer to develop, so for a big to be this good this young is unique.

Not to mention the fact that lebron was a once in a millennium high school player.
Never been a high schooler like him before or after

LeBron also nearly took that team - whose third best player was either Jeff McInnis or Drew Gooden -- to the playoffs. Not saying Towns doesn't look great, but you don't have to go back further than LeBron (or maybe even KD) to find a more impressive 20-year-old.

Lebron at that age is unparalleled. There is nobody like him
 
People dissing wiggins are forgetting the other end of the court
