First five preseason games with no TV at all.

That's almost unbelievable. The Wolves were the #4 team in EPSN's league pass rankings and it's hard to fathom how they could schedule the pre-season such that no one can actually see a Wolves game for 19 days. On a personal level, it will drive me nuts if there is no way to watch a game for almost 3 weeks while every other team is on tv multiple times.

TV games
Wed, Oct. 19 vs. MEM
Fri, Oct. 21 vs. CHA

If Bjelly ever gets his confidence, he would be such a good fit between KAT and Wiggins.

The tunnel vision of Shabazz is here to stay, it appears.

Just finished the 1q.

The Dunn, Rush, Wiggins, Bjelly, and KAT line up looked good.

Great ball movement, great spacing, and very active defensively.

Followed him just for that, hope he won't get in trouble.

Yup he was the one guy who stuck out with a selfish performance. His aggression and assertiveness can be useful but it's gotta be held back a lot.

This play was beautiful. Great playcall for Rubio to try and score the ball. Missed the layup but Thibs is going to sneak in some easy opportunities for him.

Watched the 2nd half.
I liked Bjelly. If he can stay out of foul trouble i think he will play lot of meaningful minutes.
I think this is Bazz's last year with MIN. His tunnel vision damages our offense.

Btw i missed Rubio's magic:

Those turnovers (travels) by Dieng, come on man, how many times do we saw that in his carreer ?

Too many.

Ricky has that all day. There is no way the opponents are going to leave kat or wiggins to come help.

Still no tv coverage but at least tonight's game will be on the radio.

Think you guys are reading a little too much into the first pre-season game. Bazz criticisms in particular may be hasty. Thibs can probably refine his offensive tendencies and don't over the look the massive positive his offensive board ball hawking had. Usually I'd rather have a guy I have to rein in a bit over a guy I have to try to fire up.

some takeaways from the 90s style video

It's clear that Thibs will use Towns more as a facilitator than Smitch.
also Towns is awesome
Zach is still bad on D
the second unit is very promising
Dunn is quick as hell
we're shooting threes!!!!
aldrich is a defensive presence
Belly can be a very solid player in this league
