National TV game is bound to bring about some fireworks. I'm predicting a Draymond Green brawl with the entire Wolves team.

I heard an interesting fact today.

The Warriors already have the worst winning percentage ever for any team that started 12-3. Teams that started 12-3 or better average a 58-win season.

After starting 12-3, the Warriors have gone 7-17, and are now 11-12th in the West. Curry, Draymond and Kerr have said it would be irresponsible for the team to trade future assets for Jimmy Butler, surprising to hear from vets who want to try for more rings.

Jimmy is a pain in the butt these days. I can't see him get a long with Green. Why bring such locker room cancer to your team?

We been very lucky with opponent's key players out all year. We better win this one. The second half of the season is a lot harder. It would be nice if we could secure a none play-in spot this year.

Dray is out, except him to jump on Rudy when Rudy pass near their bench :)

People often talk about NBA seasons in 20-game increments.

In the first 20 games, Minnesota went 10-10.
In the next 20 games, Minnesota will go either 12-8 or 11-9 depending on tonight's result.

Is this a regular occurrence vs Warriors now? I just can't understand how could we be so bad.

If this gets any uglier we may need to initiate double bag protocol.

My God, we have just been so lame at home. Where is the perimeter defense?

Great ball movement so far.... from the Warriors :). Letting Steph shooting open 3 is a good strategy. We all know that he is not a good shooter :)

Yeah... nah... Don't think it's travel schedule. They genuinely look like they don't care if they win or not
