Will Steph drop a cincuenta on us in response for Rose's five oh.
Will it be Durant's turn to make Wiggins look like...well, Wiggins.

On ESPN, I actually get to watch a game. Wonder if Butler will play...
I think we'll get destroyed...

We always seem to play to the level of the competition so hopefully we continue that trend tonight. I would expect Draymond or KD to matchup with Towns on D (I don't think Jordan Bell is strong enough to match up with Towns) so I'll be interested to see how Towns handles that matchup. It will also be interesting to see how much Rose tries to mimic his vintage performance. I could see him being a complete black hole tonight and shooting us out of the game. We're going to get beat from the 3pt line and I'm sure that Rose and/or Teague will try to match what the Warriors put up. Unfortunately, I think it could get ugly quickly.

On ESPN, I actually get to watch a game. Wonder if Butler will play... I think we'll get destroyed... I thought I read that Butler is supposed to play. Teague is out. I'm hoping that Tyus starts and that at some point we'll see a lineup of Tyus, Okogie, Butler, Tolliver and KAT. I'm not holding my breath.

I heard Butler plays and Teague is out. Tyus should be ok to go.
These nba games are getting more difficult to predict because whoever is hot with the 3 wins.
I'm wondering what the next coaching scheme will be to take away the over abundance of 3 pt shooting.

Okogie is keeping us in this game.

Solid 3rd quarter. 4th GS turned it up a notch and it was an easy game for them to win.

Canis:
The reality we’re living in is Jimmy has officially checked out. He’s a blackhole of negativity, sucking the life out of the Wolves. For some reason, he’s still here.
Butler consistently ignored a wide open Karl-Anthony Towns on pick and rolls throughout. He played hero ball, taking questionable, off-balance jumpers. Most glaringly, there was nearly no help defense, what the team needs most from him.
All of this coming off a game where the team, sans Butler, defeated the Utah Jazz behind Derrick Rose’s career-high 50 points. The chemistry was palpable throughout the game which culminated in an emotional breakdown on the court after the win as the players were obviously happy for Rose.
Back to this game.
You could argue the Warriors sort of just do this to players. Crush their spirit in mere seconds. But that’s not the supposed player that Butler is. He’s a fighter, a gamer, and he just ‘wants to play ball’.
He’s not fighting anymore, not for the Wolves.
Tom Thibodeau has seemingly given Butler a mandate to do whatever he wants, so far as to even decide when he plays. The guy calling the shots doesn’t even want to be here. In what world does someone do that for a player not named Bryant, James or Jordan?
Apparently, it’s Jimmy’s world. We’re just living in it, watching him attempt to burn it to the ground.

That 4th quarter was tough to watch, Butler iso ball garbage. That's why we'll never win with Thibs regardless of talent.
