Game 5 UTA vs MN

[Calinks]

Pull the starters

[Calinks]

Towns getting better but still too much extra curricular activities with his moves - a little hook, a little kick, and some bad acting. It makes it look like a foul when he didn't touch the guy. Wonder if we could hire Tim Duncan to work with him on moves and footwork.

If he cleaned it up it would help his overall game exponentially.

Wolves have the best defense in the league. Can't wait to see how they play wemby. Really want to beat the Celtics though

If we beat the Celtics that will give us some serious shine.

More of the cockiness of Boston fans. Bill Simmons tried to argue they had one of the best starting 5s in the past 20 years

Looks like an easy win and another game holding the opponent under 100 (hope I didn't jinx it).

[Calinks]

I have my daughter with me so can't watch. Nice lead late 3rd quarter. Hold it guys.

You're a good father. No child should witness the atrocities the Timberwolves committed against the Utah Jazz. She doesn't need that trauma.

Lauri is becoming a legend in Utah, he has kept them in this game and now they are getting some mojo. Got to keep playing hard.

Lauri has turned into a better player than I thought he'd be. He was in that Zach Lavine draft when the Butler trade went down. I'm still pissed we didn't take Collins when we took that Center that never played again. Idiots.

Great idea with Duncan and the footwork. Yet be careful, no one complained more calls than Duncan. Kat is a piker by comparison.

Tbh I wish Leonard Miller was getting minutes in these blow outs.

Wolves haven't ceded a point off turnovers in the second half. First half 5 turnovers, 5 points. Second half thus far, 4 turnovers, no damage.
This was *the* signature stats for wins and losses last season. No coincidence they have pulled away tonight

Unbelievable! Might be a first.

Me too. I was surprised/shocked he didn't make the team. Maybe they want him to get plenty of minutes instead of sitting up here.

[Colbinii]

That first bounce pass ANT had to Gobert was perfect. High bounce where Gobert can catch it around his shoulders/neck height is exactly where you want to be putting the ball, not at his knees.

Miller is in the G-League.

Lauri started to play well with Cavs. He was a big reason the Cavs' big 3 line up was special. Cavs really missed him last year. Had we not made the Butler trade and drafted a little wiser, we should have a line up of Towns, Lauri, Wiggins, Lavine, Murray (instead of Dunn). Swap out Towns for Gobert would make it even better

We took Justin Patton at #16 and the guys after him in the first round are: John Collins, Jarrett Allen, OG Anunoby, Kuzma, Derrick White, and Josh Hart. So, that is why Thibb is no longer working in the front office. I supposed he could had done worse by trading Lauri, LaVine, and Murray for 1 year of Jimmy + Patton (or Anžejs Pasečņiks)

That is great idea, Duncan could help Towns with how to complain in the right way too

I would guess the team thought going through the Iowa Wolves training camp was going to provide more value than getting garbage minutes in a few games.

The guy I'm curious about is Garza. They seem to be holding him out at the moment to conserve his eligibility (he was on the bench tonight in street clothes). As a two-way player he can only be active for 50 games.

[Guest84]

A little tougher than it needed to be early on but a good win nonetheless.

[shrink]

About time we beat a team that wasn’t in last year’s finals.

If we kept that up, we’d have had a very bad record at the end of the season.
