Man, both techs on Towns were so weak. Gotta be the least anyone has ever done to get thrown out of a game.

Also seems like some guys are hurt that the so called mediocre player was having his way with the so called better player all night.

And Thibs better get a shorter leash on Jamal. As bad as Jamal has been , I refuse to believe one of he young guys could be worse

Honesty had no expectation Wolves winning b2b against Jazz at home. Suprised we stayed in that game so long. Although post allstar break Utah have not been same as pre. Thibs really need to figure it out how to get maximum out of Wiggins, Teague and Towns during this rough stretch as Butler wont be there to save our his ass. Playoff run in west is wild. Teams who looked safe suddenly can't take any games easy.

Towns techs were too easy, but he still has to take responsibility as player not put your team in danger. Knowing KAT somebody from players or coaching staff should had pulled him aside and told him not to get second tech. Also all this constant complaining with refs starts with Thibs. If all you do at sidelines is complain on every call or non-call then how you expect your players to do better?

Bitch ass move by Teague and deserved ejection. Also bitch tweet from Butler as simple as that. Some guys praising that tweet for standing up for his team? Standing up for what - player expressing out his own frustation with unnecessary foul on teams expense. Seriously in which parallel universe you live in? Some guys act like their favourites can't do anything wrong and try defend anything they do even its just plain wrong. All in all what both Teague and Butler did was lame and stupid, but its time to move on. We all knew Teague was sore loser from time to time before he joined Wolves. Something we have to withstand as he plays for Wolves now.

You should only stand up for what’s right.

Would you guys react the same way if it was Crowder, Neto, Royce Oneale? I dont think so

Yes we would because Teague was clearly in the wrong. My reaction has nothing to do with the fact that Rubio was on the receiving end of Teague's body check and everything to do with how he blew a gasket and resorted to a hockey move on an opposing player getting himself tossed in a game we needed him in down the stretch.

Teague put himself above the team, something Rubio never does.

I mean, i thought it was terrible when Kevin Love stomped on Luis Scola's face (google it, for those of you that have only been wolves fans for 7 months) but yeah, i probably would have been more upset if he stomped on Corey Brewer's face.

This team is not making the playoffs.
Strapped with Wiggins & Dieng Contracts.
Thibs doesn’t play enough of his bench.
Thibs doesn’t call Towns name enough late in games.
Thibs actually offered Bazz 40 mil?..lol.
Defense has not improved.
Teague is a loser of a FA pick up.
Butler is not staying.

Once you figure out Thibs is a joke nothing really matters.

We are 2 years away (from getting rid of Thibs) from being 2 years away from making the playoffs.

Seriously before the season started, basically everyone expected 46-50 wins, we're on pace for at least 46 wins if we go .500 the rest of the way, how is this a joke/disappointing for the TWolves or Thibs? What did you expect a title contender this year? That was unrealistic to begin with

Howard Cosell · Post #390 » by **Howard Cosell** » Sat Mar 3, 2018 5:59 pm

My expectations is Twolves would make the playoffs.
Wiggins would take another step in devolopment.
Thibs would take bench play more seriously this year.

0-3

History book written about Twolves Thibs era will not be kind.

I have been Twolves fan since listening to the radio, drinking beer at college...celebrating deafeating 76ers & Barkley for our first ever victory.

This season is depressing because Thibs has not come close getting the most out his roster.

I’m speaking truth. I’ll let you guys leave in a fantasy world.

Twolves not making the playoffs.

And why is Butler acting like a tough guy now? I remember Nene making him look like a school boy where he couldn't do anything, and had his life flash before his eyes.

This seems to be an inaccurate recall of events as nobody had their life flash before their eyes in that little skirmish. I was at that game, all Nene/Butler did was lock heads. Neither play ran from each other or had any real intention of doing anything serious given it was a playoff game.

Watch on YouTube

Also, this is Jae Crowder, he and Butler have a past that is also connected by both going to Marquette.

By the way, here's some other situations with Butler...

What is the problem of Rubio being beloved by Wolves fans?

Outside of Jimmy and Crawford (looks like, with Teague as well) I see Ricky getting along with Tyus, Wiggs, Belly, even some staff, i really don't see the need for this BS.

Geez, Rubio is a fine player but he's not even a star, let's please not overreact, unless some players are such divas that can't handle the "love" Wolves fans still have for Ricky.

You can’t see why a current player on the wolves would be fed up by the fact that fans have more love for a guy who’s not even on the team any more (and isn’t measurably better than his replacements) and has to be constantly reminded about it?

The way you fix that is by beating that player in his old house. win the game, piss on mid-court and yell "THIS IS MY **** NOW".

This choose a side stuff is ridiculous. Are we back in the 1400's? Should ignorance and blind territorial allegiances rule the day? CAn I not still be a fan of this team, be a fan of Teague and Butler but also feel they were wrong? Can I not still be a fan of Ricky Rubio, a player I watched grow and cheered for for several years? Can I not be upset when that player is on the receiving end of a dirty play?

What someone has or has not accomplished on this franchise is irrelevant. If you had a connection with that player, you are free to support or feel for them in whatever capacity you want. Is it really so baffling to people, that they feel a deeper connection to someone they have watched for 6 years, than someone who has just been here for 6 months? Why is that a problem?

If your best friend did a heinous act, would you be obligated to "pick their side" because you have decades of friendship even though they did a wrong? Things don't have to be black and white, all in or all out. Reality is full of greys. I don't like the play Teague made on Rubio, I don't like Jimmy continuing to dump on Rubio afterward. I don't like the fact that Rubio and Jazz won last night, I would love to crush them in all future games.

This wasn’t henious, this is blown completely out of proportion because it’s Ricky.
