Was at the wolves game tonight. It was Crunch's birthday. A bunch of other mascots showed up to give him presents and party. Also Clutch has a huge, Lowry-sized rear end.

People are fickle as gently caress and half this thread was saying fire Thibs before the Wolves started winning. He hasn't fixed any of his deficiencies since then sooo

Rondo looked like a good defender because he had KG, Perk, and Thibs locking things down while he was free to gamble for steals

We're like five years removed from all the best players in the league averaging around 38 minutes a night and playing even more in the playoffs and putting up amazing numbers. This idea that you're going to gas out from playing 36 minutes a night is confusing.

What a proposal. Here take our chronically injured about to turn 29 year old player and give us a 22 year old guy who is really really good. Also when Kevin O'Connor of the ringer said they should fire him they were 26 games into the season and the Wolves were 15-11.

The issue with Towns was his defense was bad and he was either getting lost on certain coverages or he was helping too late/going for impossible blocks or rebounds and putting himself out of position.

I did a quick check and KAT and Jimmy have identical PERs and KAT has an extra 50 points of TS%. But I am aware that isn't the whole picture.

By any metric Town's defense has been a lot better since Dec 1, and this year he appears to be a small net positive and around average for his position overall. Since Dec 1 he's been above average and the TWolves defense stepped up considerably. Keep in mind, 4 of the top 6 guys in the rotation are new this year, so we all knew the Wolves would take time to get into the swing of things, it was just surprising the D was THAT bad. But they have looked like a Thibs Defense for the last 15 games or so. I mean, DRTG is not the best, but look at the drop month over month in his splits: https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/t/townska01/splits/2018 Salvor_Hardin posted:Jimmy Butler hasn't been their best player unless I'm greatly mistaken. Best vs most important I guess. Towns has been the best (maybe?) but Butler has been more important to the success. He fills many, may roles on that team. Rick posted:We're like five years removed from all the best players in the league averaging around 38 minutes a night and playing even more in the playoffs and putting up amazing numbers. This idea that you're going to gas out from playing 36 minutes a night is confusing. Yeah, like, I get the trend but guys who have been kept on minute restrictions are still getting injured and the 2 longest games-played players right now are 1) Towns and 2) Wiggins. I do think Thibs plays his bigs too much, but I also think the difference between what he plays them and the 3-5 minutes less I'd like to see is probably not going to impact a lot of things. Like you said, these minutes weren't a problem for players in 2013. Although I can understand why a lot of Goons think an extra 5 minutes of activity is a terrible thing that should be avoided.

Lately they're defense is looking good and Towns is more disciplined and not flailing as much.

I love that in the Ryan Anderson facial, the whole crowd oohs with disbelief. The dude is still loving 6'10 or whatever and a professional NBA player. Edit: So I'm not a twitter user and I just read through the twitter thread of that tweet dexo posted and I'm, not kidding, don't know what like 95% of those tweets even mean (edit: the replies to the tweet dexo posted, are they tweets also or subtweets or what i dont even). Younglings communicating with memes and gifs that fade into obscurity in like 0.78 seconds and think its better than just typing words with meanings that change over generations at minimum. Edit2: So like someone posts a gif of that tv genius wonder doctor boy shooting himself in the mouth with a gun made out of his hand after that sager/ball tweet. What does that EVEN MEAN?

Is it controversial to say Jimmy's been their best player? Jimmy always seems like the dude that makes them go when I watch them. He has to play hard and focused or the whole team gets lazy.

You guys keep talking about Lavar Ball so I looked him up and the guy's not even in the NBA? There's a kid Lonzo Ball though, he's a rookie and he's looking real good. You guys would like him his shot was very bad so he cut his dumb hair and it's been much better, and he's putting up huge numbers for a rookie
