If the Wolves take more than one game off of the Rockets I'll get that Thibs picture in the OP as my avatar until at least the end of the playoffs and Lockback can choose the text. If they win the series (lol) I'll keep the avatar and stop bashing Thibs all the way through the offseason.

I know it's not NBA but Lindsay Whalen was named the head coach of the University of Minnesota's Women's Basketball team this week. This is newsworthy because she's also still the starting PG for the Minnesota Lynx and is apparently going to be pulling double duty since the seasons don't overlap.

When's the last time something like this has happened?

Butler has a hurt wrist so his usage is whatever.

But I hadn't even seen the usage for KAT before my previous post and I'm not surprised at all.

At least last night the guards and wings were playing well enough it didn't make sense to try to force it to KAT.

Jeff Teague 4-9
Jimmy Butler 4-11
Jamaal Crawford 4-11

Wiggins and Rose were ok, but not really anything more. Rose was arguably their best player last night :stonk:

Ignoring free throws does change things yes.

Teague scored 15 points on those 5 misses, Butler 13 on the 7 and crawford 15 on the 7 misses. Timberwolves got to the line almost 30 times and it was mostly from the perimeter players.

Rose was better than the Rockets players too, aside from Harden and Capela. You ready to say Thibs made a good call bringing him on to bolster the bench?

You don't score points on misses.

Teague I'll give you since he had 8 assists and 7 free throws but Butler and Crawford had 7 FTs combined.

People are just looking for anything to bag on Thibodeau. I've said it here a million times, Minnesota's offense is built to get a switch and isolate the mismatch. Sometimes that iso is posting up KAT on a wing. Sometimes, it's isolating wiggins or butler or teague on the wing against a big. The first clip shows Capela and Harden switching, Capela ending up on Wiggins with an option to post KAT on Harden. What is better offense: trying to get a post entry around Capela's wing span to post up KAT on a smaller but still very good post defender, or clearing KAT out and having Wiggins drive and kick on Capela?

The latter every time.

KAT looked totally checked out in the second half and that's 100% on coaching. Also if they're getting good shots then fine but look at how many awful shots are in that compilation when you watch the whole thing.

I would take Rose back on the condition that Jamaal Crawford goes away

I think at this point I would also prefer to have Rose as he seems to be a better and more willing passer, especially if he's not on
