that sucked, but not necessarily surprising . they'll regroup

W

Held them under 100

Watching 4 games at once is the real deal.

First place seems solid.

SOLID tonight. One of the top few teams in the West.

They're good but don't get it twisted. Not in SA's league if SA wasn't missing their best player.

I do not believe this is the only game I'm using to determine how good the Timberwolves are.

Maybe if you actually watched the games, you'd know! But no you just want to move the goal posts.

Butler had an amazing 30 seconds at the 8 minute mark.

Don't try this bit. You're not as good as ltg and I at it.

I wasn't moving any goalposts. Immediately after the Butler trade I said they'd win 50-55 games. Still think so.

I still got them at 45. They definitely won't get to 55. That's even with Thibs trying to eke out every win by overplaying his starters.

One thing is also apparent. Jimmy Butler is definitely not a too 10 player. Not top 20 either.

_________________

It's also quite apparent he's more than happy to look to his teammates and not play heroball if he actually has good teammates, contra your repeated assertions last season.

Still doesn't change the fact that he played hero ball last year. Just so you know he has already spoken about a need to shoot more. Probably not happy about playing so much "team Ball".

_________________

He is happy and so I am. Good to see that he is more accepting of the 3rd option role he was always destined to play.

_________________

Correct, he played heroball with a roster that was bottom 5 in the league when he was out of the game. I'm sure though he definitely should have looked to the same guys who in your own words currently largely make up a team "constructed in order to lose games."

Most Wolves fans love him for his defense and think that without him this team would still be losing the close games they're now winning this year.

Those of us who watch the games have all told you to stop lying about this. I recommend taking our advice. He's their number 1 option in the 4th quarter of every single close game they have played so far this year.

I really don't which games that you watch and your eye test isn't really validation either. They call plays for Towns or Wiggins down the stretch of every game that I watch.

Commenters just spoke on how Gibson broke the play designed for Towns because he had the mismatch. That was at about the 3 minute mark.

They are calling all these sets for him yet he never seems to hit the shot or make the play.

Great win. Really hoping a game like that Suns loss doesn't come back to haunt them at the end of the year

Awful start at Dallas tonight
Maddening

Nice recovery

Good matchup tonight with the surprisingly good Detroit Pistons.

_________________

Sloppy game lot of turnovers. Wolves starters are noticeably out playing The Pistons 5. Reggie Jackson is not a high caliber point guard..

Avery Bradley is a helluva player. Minnesota starters look good.

_________________

Detroit stole this game. Minnesota defense let them down in the 4th. Detroit was able to break them down off the bounce repeatedly in the 4th. Towns has to get better defensively. Butler played well tonight.

_________________

Towns has been a lot better on defense the last 5 or 6 games but he was getting killed on the pick and roll down the stretch.

Yeah he doesn't show and recover well at all. No rim protection and he never gives his body up either.

Bad defense, they call it "Townes Syndrome"
I'll be here all week, try the veal.

Thank god there's a game at 2:30 so I don't have to watch any more football

First career start for Jones with Teague out
I like him a lot
