would of never happened if they put Rubio in a position to succeed

and how are you supposed to do that with a point guard whos guaranteed to shoot 40% or crappier? Those missed shots may as well be turnovers.

lol god dam kemba walker drops 47 breaking the dfs slate and still loses to the Bulls. Cant wait until LaVine suits up for the Bulls. Really hoping he can be a great player for them. Dunn looks like he can be at least a Marcus Smart which is pretty good.

This post is causing my Asperger's to flare up about 8 different ways. (missed shots may as well be turnovers (lol wat), the wolves just had the #10 offense last year that prominently featured Rubio)

Rubio wasnt starting because he didnt even play that game (sore achiles), and his teamates are so bad that couldnt win against Brooklyn despite his backup scored 22 on .650 FG%.

I hate how there is always a some butthurt rift between The Wolves organization and KG after departures. Now it seems like there is some Thibs/KG/Taylor issue. Wish we could just openly have the dude be a legend who has a free pass to come by like Duncan and David Robinson have with the Spurs. I want to see KG at wolves/lynx games. Helping our guys.

I am super excited for Zach Lavine. Going to be watchin a lot of Bull when he and Dunn are playing.

Does Lauri also count as former Wolf? I wonder if three years from now the fanbase regrets the butler for markkinen trade...

KAT already had him, remember? And not just for a few sessions here and there, an entire season.

This is the stuff that really is wrong. How about looking up their offense during crunch time? Rubio may be the worst player in the league in the last 5 minutes of games. Why you ask? 4 on 5.

Kris Dunn went 0-6 with 2 pt, 4 red, 3 ast, and 3 turnovers today vs the heat in 24 minutes as a starter

I'm so glad we traded for Butler, Markannen maybe a decent rookie but Butler is so much better than the 3 players combined and I'm happy Kris Dunn frustration wont be experienced by wolves fans anymore

We had Andrew Wiggins isolate most of last season during crunch-time, that is not really a fair assessment.

Kevin Garnett obviously was disappointed with Sam Mitchell being passed-up on, but it was kind of sad how Tom Thibodeau pretty much disregarded him into retiring. It really bummed me out, haha.

That said, it is what it is; stuff like that happens in business. I'm still a bit salty at times about how he was treated/handled at the end there, but oh well.

I’m starting to think people don’t know what isolation plays actually look like.
