Reffing was good that game, and bad this game. Why do you continue to dodge the question of the quality of reffing this game?

Because I asked first. And if you thought Dec. 18 was a great officiating, then you have no idea what a foul is or you just think your Wolves team never committed a foul in their lives. Because your Wolves team got away with more than was called. Dame should have been to the line at least 6 more times TBH. If the reffing was fair throughout the 4 game series, the Blazers would have won the season series 3-1.

Why are you here

It may surprise you to know that we haven't all been watching Dec 18 memorial videos. I personally long ago forgot about the officiating of a random game 2+ months ago. Glad to hear you had this rematch circled on your calendar though.

Tyus has been invisible for a long time. He gets a lot of slack here.

I honestly didn’t mean to be pooping on him if that’s how it came across. He looked like he didn’t have it tonight and in those situations I think we’d have a better chance to win if our rotations were more fluid. I get that’s not how Thibs approaches it game to game.

Yeah, people need to stop with Tyus stuff. Teague might not be ideal but from what I've seen of Tyus lately going in that direction isn't going to change anything. He is what he is, a back up pg

He is here to troll. If if if if if. If Jimmy Butler plays ever game we sweep this blazers team. And he still turns a blind eye to my question. The irony.

That's what we call faulty logic. The poorly officiated game on Dec. 18 was the 1st game of the series. This was the 4th game. And the Blazers won the last match up as well. Meaning, it doesn't make sense that I had the 4th game of the series marked on my calendar after the first game of the series. Or did you forget how many times our teams have played this year. Sounds to me you didn't have a clue about that very fact. Or you wouldn't have said what you said. In a way, you sort burned yourself without realizing it.

Teague's a roller coaster. A lot of good play mixed with bad play. Nothing in between. His reluctance to shoot the wide open 3 makes me pull hair out of my head though.

I really don’t get how he can go from what we saw the past few weeks, to what we see tonight.

Sure, I get your point. I think a floor spacing PG would fit our roster best as currently constructed. I was really hoping Teague would mold into that based on his year in Indy

Well there is a reason why I dreamed of Lowry in the offseason.

That said, Teague should be better. Not sure what is going on with his jumper, Thibs needs to get him shooting more. He has become overly reliant on his floater.

I don’t think of either as floor spacers, but Teague is shooting better than Tyus.

Tough game. I love your team and am glad you guys are making a playoff push. KAT was incredible tonight, and I was impressed by the Wolves' defensive effort in general.

Here is to a good finish to the season, and good luck in the playoffs!

Didn't get to see any of the game due to the sucky West Coast start time. Bummed we lost. I never, ever want to lose to Portland or Denver.

That’s just amazing.

I can’t think of one reason why he shouldn’t get more attempts.

Minnesota is completely underutilizing one of the greatest offensively talented big men ever. Towns should demand the front office to bring in players who will pass and get him the ball or threaten to demand trade/take the QO.

Towns is too good of a player for this to keep happening imo.

Tyus hasn't been much better lately.


Totally get that - seemed like he was rolling earlier in the year with Teague out.

Just tough to win when your PG rotation isn’t offering any spacing, distribution or defense. I thought Teague would do so much more with his spot up opportunities this year.

TWolves should go after Tyrone Wallace imo. Look at his #s in games he started and he’s good defensively. Not a shooter but provides everything else.

Upgrade over at least Tyus imo.

It’s a pretty real possibility that we miss out. There’s not much separating us from 9th in the West and now Gibson might be injured too.

It would be devastating to miss the playoffs with the way we started the season and the huge playoff draught.

He he missed some shots and made a few turnovers early on and with that his confidence dropped leading to not look for his shot. Teague needs to be looking for his shot to be a positive for the team.

Return to Minnesota Timberwolves
