    The last two paragraphs of the above article on the Blazers:

    To Lillard, it was as if Stotts was drawing a line in the sand, sticking up for his team.

    “It just shows how invested he is into this team,’’ Lillard said. “How passionate he is about all the time we have spent together so far, and the camaraderie we have grown together, not just the team but with our coaches also. He was in the trenches with us. It was a preseason game, coming down to the wire, and he was with us. So I was … it was good to see.’’

    Can we make anything of Dallas going 0-7 in preseason, the only team not to have won a single game?

    Karl Anthony Towns is AMAZING. Jeez
    If he develops as he should he could be up there with A.D. I'm so impressed.

    Oh and the Wolves will end up being his team not Wiggins's. KAT is much more of a talent than him.

    Amazed me how many people doubted him all season and said Okafor is a better prospect. Kentucky's strict system fools a ton of people regarding bigs, same happened with Davis and people saying he has no offensive skills.

    I can't see any weakness on his game.
    He has the jumper, he has the defense. Maybe develop some more post moves?
    As he gets stronger he should get better at rebounding too and won't have strong centers ripping the rebounds out of his hands.
    Today he dominated Monroe.
    It is simply amazing that a 19y.o is so polished.

    Wiggins on the other hand, even though he had a good stat line in general he didn't have a big impact at the last two games (bucks-wolves played two preseason games in the last week and I watched them ). His defence is overrated, because right now it's simply average at best.
    This will be KAT's team as soon as this season.

    BTW Lavine is crap. Can't defend anyone, doesn't know how to play team ball doesn't have any playmaking skills. His best case scenario is a 6th man off the bench the way things look like now.

    I am very excited for Minny this year. I will watch some games to see how they are doing. Maybe they will be better than the Nets and the Nuggets and Philly I think.

    Wolves future is very bright with Wiggins, Dieng, Shabbaz, Lavine and now Towns. Maybe 8th spot this year with KG, Prince, Rubio, Martin & Pekovic as the veterans.

    Can't wait for the NBA to be filled with 6'10+ position-less super humans.

    that team looks killer. the rockets better win one in the next 3 seasons. because between the wolves and sixers they will probably take over the league both very soon.
