FSN 5:00 PM
May be a good time to turn from the potential disaster that is the Vikings to watch another potential disaster.

No Teague or Rose, so I'm kind of looking forward to this one.

I assume we'll come out strong tonight. Typical wolves thing. Play like crap one night and then come out and give a good effort the next game

We're just so much better with Tyus on the floor.
(And Teague and Rose in street clothes)

Bayless blows. Towns willing us to a win.

Bayless is awful. But may be less destructive than Rose. And he's going to play WAY less minutes than Derrick would.

Wolves lead by 10 and no Wiggins to be seen. 6 min left so stick with our current players. Saric, Tyus, Okogie, Cov and Towns.
Those are the best 5.

Tyus is perfect for our PG position and he isn't going to ask for big time money. Get a solid backup (not Rose, Teague or Bayless) and we've got that position closed up. Okogie is going to be a future all-star if he continues on this trajectory.

The difference in this game is we have KAT. Not sure that KAT hero ball is sustainable....but its sure working tonight.

NO!! Thibs just put Wigs back in with 56 secs left! What's he thinking. Towns fouls out. Can we lose up by 9 with :36 left?

34 points, 18 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals, 6 blocks.
Amazing what happens when you put the ball in your best player's hands.

I dedicate this game to Teague, Rose and Wiggins (for not playing or playing very little). Thanks

I’m ok with Okogie getting playing time at the expense of winning a few more games this year. With a roster going forward of Kat, Wiggins, RoCo, Dario, Tyus, etc. we need to hit a home run somewhere else. I think even if RoCo, Saric & Tyus ALL reach the top end of their potential (not likely)- we are still a borderline 8 seed. (No offense to those guys - they just don’t have the talent to be a team that wins in the playoffs) We absolutely need Okogie to be something special - plus we need lots of luck in other places too.

Shooting needs to improve and he needs to develop more body control on his drives to the hoop. To many falls/flails to the floor. He's got so much potential though given his defensive aptitude.

From Canis:
Since General Soreness was relieved of duty, the Wolves are 3-0 when Rose doesn't play, with a win over the Pelicans at home and wins in Miami and OKC.
Since the trade, Tyus is shooting 44% from the floor with a 6.5:1 Assist:TO ratio!
Tyus leads the team in +/- per game in the 23 games since the trade, as well as +/- per 36.
