tough to win games without All-Star Jimmy Butler

going to be rough tonight if he can't go again


Butler has had some sort of knee problem during each of the past 3 seasons. May be something to watch going forward.


Most talented? Yes. Best? Not yet.

Butler is still "the best", and according to Butler...Wiggins is the "most talented."

I still think KAT may have the "highest overall potential" though.

Weird how that works.

KAT showed some things tonight.

Wiggins continues to be garbage.

Wiggins' shot selection can be extremely poor. Decision making in general. He has the tools without the head.

From the neck down he's a great player. Sounds like Tyrus Thomas.

Waterloo was not a success but there is still hope yet.

I had to miss almost all of thia game. Streamed a little bit of radio broadcast but not enough to know what happened. Wolves seemed to lead by the slimmest of margins for most of the middle of the game. I did watch the last minute and the failed inbounds.

i was more referring to the tickets they had on auction :lol:
they had some charity auction going on (apparently it ended when the game was over)
they had some customer coolers that looked nice but were at like 1000
But the ultimate fan experience tickets were at 2000 the last time they showed bids.....for 4 tickets. 500/ticket is certainly a lot but man, it was like pretty much everything they could possibly offer you- courtside seats, meat & greet w/ players and coaches, meet & greet with broadcasting team, tour of facilities, food, drink, signed jersey, other merch. Seemed like the bid should have been higher .

Terrible fourth quarter. Wiggins and the second-unit promptly got them in a hole that their terrible 3-point and free throw shooting couldn't get them out of. No idea what was said during the last timeout either, but I doubt the plan was for Teague and Towns to piss about with the ball for most of the shot clock and then make Wiggins throw up a prayer.

Thibs's shaky handling of the timeout situations has burned them the last 2 games.

Their announcers were also hounding him about leaving Taj in the game.

Defensively the 2 point guard front with Lowry and Van Vleet was killing them also. They couldn't stop dribble penetration at all.

I'm tired of Teague. I'm frustrated with holding the ball 22 seconds each possession.

I'm happy that the game was as close as it was considering Butler missed five (5!) free throws in a single game.

hit a little rough patch here, but its all good

Jimmy Butler has had difficulty getting off quality shots during crunch time of the past 2 games.

What is becoming blatantly obvious is that they are good home team and a below average road team.

Most of their bad losses against weak teams are on the road.

As far as pounding the dribble that is how Thibs wants them to play. He calls every play and he doesn't like for his teams to take quick shots. He prefers to exhaust the shot clock.

They play a style that doesn't fit their players. They need to play faster.

Teague is also a weak defender. Butler is a willing defender but he isn't shutting guys down at this stage.


They had a mismatch with Wiggins on Lowery and only went to it one time down the stretch.

They get predictable with giving the ball to Butler down the stretch and running isos. That is not a recipe for sustained success.

Forgot they don't call offensive fouls on LeBron. Or falls during a deadball.

How do you not double or triple teams Lebron on that in bounds? Who care if a guy catches it in the back court?
