Matt -- Good observation about the Wolves players looked like they're not enjoying themselves. It's been that way most of the season and I recall making the same observation earlier in the season. That's what you get when your head coach's theme is "come to work and do your job." Sports is more than that and winning games takes more than just "doing your job." It's a game of emotion and spirit.
By the way, did you see Wiggins a moment ago giggling on the bench? There's way too much Wes Johnson in him.
I mean you say that we don't have fun. Then get mad at Wiggins for laughing
I thought someone would say what you said, Geek. But I was hoping it wouldn't be you. Seriously, by playing with joy I don't mean giggling on the bench while your teammates are on the court fighting to stay in the playoffs. I mean playing on the court like you love playing the game.

You ask why. To answer that question would require getting inside the mind of Tom Thibodeau. Honestly, I can't do that.
Ironically Butler, a guy coming off a torn meniscus, is the only player who is playing with any intensity tonight. Everyone else just seems disinterested. Then there's the terrible officiating which makes this unwatchable.

I don't disagree. Sorry for being snippy.
Just really frustrated

I seriously think that was the first time all year I saw Teague full spreed dribble on the break. Couldn't believe my eyes. He looked aggressive and decisive. Weird.
