Game 66: Minnesota Timberwolves (38-27) @ Utah Jazz (31-30) - 10:30 PM ET

[TwolvesFanRome]

Seriously: I love Rubio like nobody else...I am fan since Barcellona...and I was so exciting when He came in Minnie...

but men...despite my immense love I am not his widow...we are talking about a player that played a lot of time here but He never grew up as expected...and sincerely I can t understand this veneration towards him....we are not Mavs fan talking about Dirk, men...or we didn t lose Kidd or Magic o A.I....thats the point...and for me to read on twitter phrases against butler about the love towards him that is less than that for ricky we will always be anchored to mediocrity....

That being said, Jeff was wrong...

Rubio 6 years in Minnesota has nothing to do with the fact that Jimmy comeback 2 years later of his last tweet to defend a dirty play by Jeff Teague on Rubio.

I absolutely agree with you but my point was not that...

[Crazy-Canuck]

we were on the bad end of alot of calls, but kat and teague really put the final nail in the coffin with their immaturity in a very important and winnable game.

I'm pissed at the refs, but more disappointed in kat and teague.

Did Towns deserve either technical?

not the second.
but after the first one, he should have been at least more aware that another tech and hes out.

[Mattya]

I wonder if the same people said a Jimmy lacked class because he wouldn’t let Ricky into our locker room.

[minimus]

No excuses. Teague and KAT with dumb actions. We don't deserve playoffs if we cant be professional in tight games. I wonder how they will play under real pressure.

[DaddyCool19]

Lets not forget that Teague did a similar thing to Lebron when the game was lost in the last minute of the game. Dude seems like a punk and a **** loser.

And why is Butler acting like a tough guy now? I remember Nene making him look like a school boy where he couldn't do anything, and had his life flash before his eyes.

What? Butler went head to head with Nene and never backed down even though he's 30lbs lighter and 4" shorter than the dude, Jimmy backs down from no one, don't know what you saw but I'll take Jimmy over 99% of NBA players to have my back

The guy who prefered hanging out with Wade instead of working with the rest of the team, who then had to look up to freaking Rondo (who quit in a playoff game when he was with the Mavs) as a role model? He literally accepted Wade throwing everyone under the bus so he could hang out with the cool guys, and wine and dine with them. That sounds like a superb leader/vet

[_AIJ_]

Cant believe people will side against Butler, Teague because of Rubio. Which team are you a fan of?

As soon as Love demanded a trade people were ready to turn on him. When there was a report about Rubio wanting a trade... “oh I totally get it, Thibs screwed him over, excuse, excuse, we still love you.”

Can't it simply be that Butler and Teague are in the wrong here?

Likeable, Charming, sweet, etc... wtf were those people on? They like him because of that lol. I dont have anything against him but some of the fans are treating him as a franchise saviour which he wasnt

They were wrong obviously but at least Jimmy stood up for the team. If Teague did that to Neto, no one here would care.

I don't think i'd care as much but i'd still think that was incredibly bush league and stupid by Teague and that Jimmy is coming off like a moron on twitter.

It’s their reactions. That cheap shot was nothing in comparison to actual dirty plays, but because it’s Ricky it turns into “gross”, somehow he got “decked”, and Butler sticking up for his teammate is just wrong. Any other player and this board would barely care. He has other “dirty” plays like this even this season, never has there been the level of disgust from “Wolves” fans like this one.

Lmao@someone bringing up the LeBron foul. The Cavs were clowning us that series and we showed no fight. Everyone was calling us out for being soft and were asking when we were going to put someone on their butt. Teague fouled LeBron and Bron played it up. Jeff didn't hit him that hard

The foul on Rubio was dumb and wrong but not even close to being as bad as some of you are making it out to be. He didn't go at his knees, ankles, or anything of that nature. He gave him a hard shove that Rubio popped right up from

Once again it was dumb but some of you are reaching with the severity of it

I still think it was more frustration with some calls more than anything because he was lighting Rubio up all nignt

The wolves have bigger issues than that foul last night such as Bad Jamal and guys looking gassed because Thibs never developing or trusting his bench. They really have to win some games during this tough stretch

You should only stand up for what’s right.

Would you guys react the same way if it was Crowder, Neto, Royce Oneale? I dont think so

No, it draws a line in the sand.

Choose a side

Everyone outside of a Twolves Jersey is the enemy

Or

We still wish Rubio was here instead of jimmy, Teague, taj and jamal.

Are you going to tell me that I am against Jimmy Butler after my extensive post history supporting him?

Yes Dom- not sure where you’re from or what you’re favorite sport or player is but yes (don’t mean this in an offensive way). Basketball from time to time has plays like this. It’s not a sport where everyone is “cool” like golf. Guys get frustrated and the game can get physical... Was it untimely? Absolutely. But this wasn’t Zaza pachulia jumping on Westbrook’s leg or draymond kicking a bunch of guys in the groin. KG is the goat Timberwolves ever right? I could upload compilations of his dirtiest plays ever and that doesn’t change his standing.

It really just shows how much of a divide there is about supporting this team. Half of the fans can’t get over the past. Everyone should understand teagues frustrations and wish him well. Instead he’s the enemy. Which is cool. It is what it is at this point but to pretend he’s not the enemy and hasn’t been all year isn’t realistic.

I couldn’t possibly be more disappointed in Thibs as Coach and GM. The number of miscalculations Thibs has made in 2 years is truly historical.

This team is not making the playoffs.
Strapped with Wiggins & Dieng Contracts.
Thibs doesn’t play enough of his bench.
Thibs doesn’t call Towns name enough late in games.
Thibs actually offered Bazz 40 mil?..lol.
Defense has not improved.
Teague is a loser of a FA pick up.
Butler is not staying.


Once you figure out Thibs is a joke nothing really matters.

We are 2 years away (from getting rid of Thibs) from being 2 years away from making the playoffs.

We will still make the playoffs as a 6-8 seed. 6th seed, we have a chance of advancing.
