Late scratch with “foot soreness”.

He should start Tyus but will he? Not a chance. Rose will start with Okogie, Wigs, Taj and KAT. One thing is Thibs is predictable. I actually think he'll start Tyus. He really seems to see Rose as a SG, and he "loves his energy" with the 2nd unit. Rose is going to play 30+ minutes regardless... Start Tyus....he won't even play Tyus! Oh, Tyus has right foot soreness! Sure he does. I hope Tyus didn't pull a fast one after hearing he wasn't starting.
Once again hardly any Thibs barking tonight.
I just can't get used to Ricky in the beard, ponytail and tatoo's. Gangsta Ricky.
Okogie is every bit the defender as Jimmy.

The big question is will Rose ever pass the ball to a teammate again tonight?

Atmosphere better with better play from the team now. Tone Loc the halftime show. Lol. Part of the whole throw back thing with the jerseys. Board showing clips of the crowd from the 90s which is kind of funny That would be cool to see Tone Loc do his hits.

Thibs better put Okogie on Mitchell.
Who needs teammates when you have Derek Rose?? I don't care if he scores 70 tonight we'll lose the game with his ball domination.

Rose with a season high while Towns has 16. I really hate Thibs.

Oh man is Okogie a stud. Can't wait til he's the normal starter.

Jim Pete's story on trying to dunk on Olajuwan is hilarious.

We are shooting 61% but only up by 5. End of the 3rd.

Really don’t understand all the hate for DRose tonight. He’s over 50% from the field and is a positive plus minus. He’s the only reason we’re even in the game
Don’t be so biased that you can’t recognize a good performance just because you don’t like him or his style

He’s the only reason we’re even in the game Don’t be so biased that you can’t recognize a good performance just because you don’t like him or his style He's playing well. But this isn't a sustainable brand of basketball. He just dribbled the clock for 18 straight seconds on a possession and never gave it up. I'm fine with him being on the roster the rest of the year and maybe even starting after a Butler trade but there's going to be more lows than highs. And I think him getting a lot more minutes is a way for Thibs to think he's winning but it's ultimately a tanking strategy when the stats bare out. If Butler is dealt I'd try to find a taker for Teague and just roll with Rose and Tyus at point the rest of the year and hope Tyus picks him up when he's down. We don't need anymore ball dominant, non-passers than Wiggins and Rose on the court at any point and one is more than enough if you stagger them. We are also doing a disservice in not getting an honest evaluation on Tyus and if he can play 24-30 minutes consistently.

He is usually negative if not always a negative and while he's scoring tonight usually a black hole. How many assists does he have? 6 How many minutes? 37.

If this is the future of our offense, I won't be watching a lot of Wolves games the rest of the year.

It may be an aberration but he is a huge reason we are doing well tonight. 44 points for a guy making $2 million, I think that's pretty dang good value to me.
Are you expecting him to have 44 points with like 15 assists? If anyone scores that many points, they aren't likely to also have a large number of assists
Give the man some credit for having a good game!

Obviously this is a career night for D Rose, but he definitely can take over a game offensively at this point. I realize the problem is how much he plays and how much leeway he's given when he's having a bad night, but that's 100% on Thibs for continuing to play him on those nights, it doesn't have anything to do with D Rose
He is an absolute steal on his $2 million contract, if utilized properly

But I hated watching this style when Thibs did it with Rose in Chicago, and I hate it in Houston now. Iso ball is not something that I'm interested in watching especially when it comes at the expense of passing the ball to KAT. Rose isn't even looking for a pass, it's 15 seconds of dribbling for a shot and seeing what happens. I'm not disputing his value, and if he's controlled in some way, we could surprise a lot of teams.

Fair enough, it certainly isn't pretty and would be awful to have to play against.
I just think DRose gets bashed way too much on here when it's really just the coaches' usage of him that's the issue

Out at dinner tonight, but following the boxscore.
I would not have guessed Rose would join KAT, Love, Moe Williams and Corey Brewer in the 50 point club.

The problem is that Derrick Rose does this every single game and having 50+ points is the aberration and usually his ball hogging kills us. Absolutely kills us. As the announcers were saying even Corey Brewer scored up in the 40's for us, once. One this is true. He is a backup and should be that person on the 2nd team that scores especially if you have a weak bench.

It's a style that can work in the regular season but it's never really had any success in winning in the playoffs. That's probably true. When most games you are a net negative on the court due to your defense and you play 24-30 a night, you are going to get ripped and I think Thibs has been ripped for believing him pretty adequately to be honest. Hopefully this is a sign of good things to come. I'd love to see trades to clear out contracts and build for a future around KAT and let Rose play a slightly more important role. It's playing with fire and I think would ultimately help our draft stock so no harm no foul if you want to give him a longer leash.
