Good game by the Minnesota Timberwolves again defeating the Blake Griffin's Los Angeles Clippers. Comparing to what I have seen before in their early games of the season they are looking like a solid team right now that can compete the most elite kind of basketball. Now in terms of the individual performances of the team Taj Gibson is looking like a solid option that is worth of his contract, what I don't like seeing it Andrew Wiggins scoring below 20 points a game, but to my surprise his defensive effort is really different this season as it is actually better.
Hearing a lot of rumors lately the DeAndre Jordan is in the trading block and one of the suitors is the Timberwolves, I like acquiring Jordan but I don't want to see the Timberwolves lose one of their key pieces to the team.
It's not Blake Griffin's team if he is not playing, he is the MVP of the team and now that he is not playing we can expect they will continue to struggle. The Twolves are still not a consistent team, I was expecting they are gonna dominate this game but I was wrong, it came up it's a close game.
That's the perfect term describing the team mate, Wolves not consistent though they can win but with the way they played I'm still in doubt that they can move to the final 4 , if they can acquire Jordan without risking any key players then for sure they can extend their chances.
I hope that is true because if Jordan will be in the team, Towns will be then making points because there is someone who can be in charge in the defense and rebounding. They have a good line up already and this season they have already start well, so what they have to do is just to improve to ensure their spot.
unfortunately, the Los Angeles Clippers have too many injured players(Griffin,Gallinari,Teodosic,Beverley). When they have all available players, they can recover position and try at least to enter the playoffs.
In the other matches played:
-Golden State (Curry+Durant 54 points) easily won against Miami 123-95
-Houston easily won against Los Angeles Lakers 118-95. Harden scored 36 points and continues to make MVP performances.
-Excellent victory for Oklahoma against San Antonio, althoug Oklahoma is Westbrook-dependent (seventh triple-double in this season for him)
