The Wolves Owned All 4,700 Basketball Squares

by John Wilmes

Minnesota's defensive effort in Game 2 was a transformative sight. In what appeared to be an effort to become one with their team name, they swarmed, smashed, hounded, snarled, took, and destroyed for 24 straight minutes to start the game. Not an inch of the court was safe.

Wild thought -may be they were trying to win some games?

As a rebuilding team isn’t actually developing the future more worthwhile than making the play in?

I do not think a team trying to win would have entered the season with no PGs.

The Jazz would be an easy playoff team if they had gone after CP3 instead of John Collins.

The big issue is that the Jazz aren't trying to win, but also are heavily playing vets in a weird yard sale thing. Not sure a team has ever entered the season not trying to win and not trying to focus on their young players.
