No more General Soreness on the team. Good riddance.
New look Wolves. Do Saric or Covington start? Is Okogie our new starting SG or DRose?
Excited a bit to see them tonight.
FSN 668 Directv.

I'd be surprised if they play tonight. The deal just went through officially and they haven't yet had a single practice with the team.
My guess is Wednesday.

The question is will they have time to get their physicals done. You would think they would.
You trade for these guys...you should start both of them.
Start Teague or Rose, Wigs, Cov, Saric and KAT.
Find a way to play the 2nd unit 16 minutes. Go 10 deep like most teams.
Tyus, Okogie, Tolliver, Taj and Gorgui.
Remove Thibs as head coach and replace on a temporary basis any current bench coach for a seamless transition. Move Thibs up to the front office only.
There you have it. :)
It's time to get excited about our Wolves again.

Is that really the question? I'm super excited to see both guys, but is it doing them any favors to play them after 1 pre-game shoot-around? At least with Wednesday, they get a full off day of practicing with the team.

They will go out and just play basketball.

I think putting them out there, not knowing what they're doing, gives the fans the best chance to see the new guys in the worst possible light...

If someone wants my 2 tickets to the game tonight, they can have them. Section 104. Send me a DM with your email address and I'll forward them to you. First come, first serve.

At the absolute very least, "give them a clipboard" and have them watch a game first.

Maybe bring them in for a couple minutes each at "strategic times" of the game - or in case of a blowout, but as much as I want to see them, I don't think its a great idea. (Thibs will probably play them both 38 minutes tonight...)

If they are good as I suspect they are they will wing it. Park yourselves on the three point line and do your thing. If they come out to guard you drive into the lane. It may just prove how useless this coach is as well.

I was really looking forward to the first game after Butler was traded to see if JimPete would really lay into how Butler handled the situation. Seemed like JimPete has been biting his tongue about Butler all season. But, now that the trade has happened - I just want to move on.

As expected: Dane Moore@DaneMooreNBA 12m12 minutes ago Dario Saric, Robert Covington and Jerryd Bayless are all OUT tonight against the Brooklyn Nets. The expectation is that the trio will be available Wednesday against New Orleans.

Wolves getting back on defense. Extending a little more on the perimeter. Good flow. Very quiet in the arena though.

Defensively, the Rose/Teague pairing is an abomination.
More KAT shots please. He's like a foot taller than everyone on the Nets.
We're atrocious at defensive rebounding. Combine that with Rose, Teague and Wiggins being unable to defend the perimeter and every offensive rebound for Brooklyn turns into a wide-open 3.

I love the guy but he's a rebounding liability. Saric should help us there. We need to take ball movement lessons fron BRK. They are unselfish. They really move it.
Wow! LaVert just got hurt I didn't see how. Players are praying for him. Hope it's not as bad as it looks.

LaVert's injury looked pretty tough. Feel really bad for him
Really hated our 2 PG lineup on the defensive end in the first half. DRose, Tyus and Teague can't guard most of the 2's in this league....and so its pretty tough trying to play 2 of them together.

KAT is balling on defense again.
But every single time he rotates to protect the paint, no one on the team boxes out his man. No one.

And to consider the other players we could have signed instead of Taj.
