2015-16
I watched the Warriors last night. I waited so long for the Dubs to be good, and now it's almost boring to watch them win by 20. It's the same exact team as last year, sans David Lee. But it'll be a tough slog against the Clippers, Spurs and OKC.
Watched Wolves at Lakers. T-Wolves are one of those new teams in the West that could make the playoffs. Rubio had a career night. He played 32 minutes which I think is about right... keep that guy healthy. Karl-Anthony Towns had an impressive debut. He's unguardable in the paint and a good rim defender. Now the Wolves actually have too many guys. Garnet was in there for 13 minutes, which is about right. Their 27 year old Serbian rookie Bjelica looked good in his 23 minutes. But Kevin Martin played too much. He got 23 points, but zero assists and only 1 rebound. He missed all 5 of his 3-point attempts. I remember that guy having a lot of 20 point games in losing efforts for the Kings. He can't defend and he can't pass. And the downside of too much K-Mart is that Wiggins can't get into a flow. Wiggins is the future there, and it didn't help him either that Tayshawn Prince sucked up 15 minutes of court time. They played 11 guys, and you can argue that it helped them to finish strong in the 4th quarter, but I think they need to cut the rotation down.
