Definitely have been better than I thought. Lots of very good wins, especially lately.  If Tatum does come back this year, they have a real chance at a deep playoff run.  No real shot at the title as the Western teams are just better, but wouldn't be all that surprised if they beat any team in the East if Tatum is even 90% of what he was.

Anthony Edwards has become the T'Wolves All-Time leader in 30+pts games. What surprised me is that Towns was 2nd ahead of KG.

Ant - 102 games with 30+pts
Towns - 101 games
KG - 82 games

KG is way back on those two guys. I assumed he would be the one Ant was chasing. Not Towns.

I wonder what's up with Boucher. I know he didn't look good earlier in the year but it seems like he just doesn't play at all anymore even in garbage time. In fact he's now had 5 DNPs in a row. I still think they should try him again and see if he can offer something. He looked like a solid player in Toronto and I still see potential in him, and certainly more than Tillman/Garza at this point

I?m hoping they package all 3 for a useful player.

Toronto has now lost 4 of their last 5. And we play them tomorrow, and if the C's win they will jump them in the standings as well to become the 3 seed potentially. They also play each other December 20, so two games between the teams in the next 2 weeks.

Looks like Toronto is gonna join Chicago in starting off hot and having a big winning streak but then fading soon after.

This team has derailed the tank train.

A game and a half back from first place and the number 2 seed in the East!  I have no idea if it?s sustainable but you?ve got to be impressed with them figuring out how to win with this roster and the development of a bunch of guys.

I saw an MVP power ranking the other day, no mention of Jaylen Brown.  Not sure how Jaylen would not be considered among the most valuable at this point in time.  Remarkable that after an 0-3 start, this team is 14-6.  With wins against quality teams.   Some here thought this was a 30-35 win team. Right now they are blowing pre-season speculation out of the water.  Of course, could turn in a hurry. 

I really have to wonder what is going on right now in Brad Stevens head.

Obviously assuming Tatum desires to play and doctors actually clear him in February or March (with no setbacks until then), I am starting to feel it's 99% likely he returns this season.

As for Brad, he definitely needs to add another center to the rotation at the trade deadline. Even if it's someone who can backup Queta or be a running mate with him (just like Lively-Gafford in Dallas). Claxton, Zubac or Vucevic are my targets.

We're basically a Queta injury away from needing guys like Tillman/Garza to play 20-25+ minutes a game consistently and that is definitely NOT good. Minott can play some smallball 5 but they absolutely need another big man in the rotations. And idk about Boucher, he just doesn't play at all anymore.
