Will probably watch since my 6 year old is sick. I don't watch TV much at all in summer, but now that winter is here... I just upgraded DirecTV package up so that it includes Fox sports North. Choosing to watch a Thibs-coached Timberwolves preseason game... I am truly a masochist.

No FSN out here. Hopefully, they put a replay up on NBA TV at some point.

Plus, with cable or qualifying service you can stream from Fox Sports streaming.

At least Thibs got booed at intros..

Wow, Wiggins had four points, one assist, and one rebound in 27 minutes during his first home appearance in the first year of his max contract deal.

Nerlens Noel looked better than most on our team. We probably could have had him for cheap. He is so tenacious on both boards.
Our outdated style of basketball really shows.

KBD is looking like a player to me. It's time to start him in front of Wiggins. Yes, you all read that right.
I'm starting to give up on Wiggins. I was expecting Wiggins to have added to his game this summer but he hasn't added bleep! At least he could have worked on his free throws but he's still a bricklayer. The kid is killing me.
The only way to get to him is to embarrass him by benching him or by reducing minutes. Take away his video games and bong! That might do it.
KBD has surprised me. Let's start him to light a fire under Wigs ass.

Can we shop Wiggins while we're at it?
And Nerlens as a backup in OKC is gonna be good. He's essentially Adams lite but with better rim protection (he can be a garbage man and clean up all of Russ' bricks).

I believe when camp broke there was question to Wiggins on what he worked on over the summer. His response was getting to his best spots.
THAT'S THE PROBLEM!

No energy, no fun. It's just not enjoyable to watch. Watching these last 2 preseason games really has made me miss Ricky.

THAT'S THE PROBLEM! He worked on sitting on the bench?

I hate watching Wiggins play more than Teague and Rose...and that is saying something. Wiggins plays with zero emotion, joy, pain, care, etc..He is a zero.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was a factor. Lack of motivation. Bench him.

I might be the only one....but I like DRose. Obviously, at this point he isn't an NBA starting caliber 2 guard. But, I like him as a guy off the bench playing against other bench guys. I give DRose credit for actually being willing to take the ball to the basket into contact, for usually running back on defense and actually playing with energy. It might not always be good but at least Rose is out there making plays.

He plays with fire and has a willingess to do things that is completely missing from Wiggins. However, he plays like his body just doesnt allow him to do the things that he wants to anymore.... He wasnt as bad as he was in the prior preseason game but that was mainly because he wasnt trying to do as much. He let the game come to him a bit more.... He is not a starter but I dont think he'll be too bad off the bench. The big thing is if he's not on he shouldnt get much time.

There is a difference between being aggressive and being a ball-hog. He needs to learn how to probe the interior and pass out of bad situations.

Kingsxman is right. Rose's body just won't allow him to do what he thinks he can do. Those days are gone for him. That said, I like how he pressures the defense. He's a better shooter than Tyus too. Regardless, he's a limited minute off the bench player.
No one has been a bigger supporter since draft night of Tyus than I have been. Tyus is showing even less on the offensive end than Ricky and that's saying something. Time is running out for Tyus. He need to be more of an offensive force. The kid has to start making shots and finish at the basket. I love that kid but he has to pick it up. Maybe it's just not there. It pains me to say that.

I don't have regular TV anymore (doing Netflix, the cheap Hulu package and PrimeTV), so if I want to watch basketball I need to pay extra. I won't be buying the package until I have some idea that what I will be watching will be "watchable". I have very little faith in Thibs' offense, so I am going to wait and see.

I'm a sucker and buy the NBA Ticket package every year, regardless of the crap they have put on the floor. I've seen the full spectrum of good, bad, and mostly ugly. From Rashad Mccants, to Mark Blount, to Big Al, Randy Wittman, Ricky Davis, Marko Jaric, K. Love, Shabazzz.... This iteration won't be any worse than many of those teams, so I'll pay, I'll watch, and I'll complain... :P
