Butler out against Portland

And why does okogie need to sit when the only reason we played wiggins so much was to get him experience. Give me okogie for as many minutes as he can play. I want to see this kod develop. Ive seen enough of wiggins

For having a G-League team, this franchise has treated it like such a farce. Why even have one if you're not gonna present opportunity for players to help at points of weakness? I'd go get the best rebounder in G-League I could, get him some spot minutes helping Towns get boards and see what happens.

The simple fact we post how this is just one of those games almost every other night shows you how low our expectations are of this damn group. Effort should be expected not hoped for.

We are missing 3 of our top 6 players, we don't currently have a backup PG. It is hard to win in the NBA when that happens. We have the 6th hardest schedule in the NBA this year going into tonight and we will move into the top 3 when Portland game is added. Based on ESPN expected win-loss recored we should be 3-7, we are 4-6.

We have problems no doubt but tonight was one of those games.

Because Wiggins is better than Okogie and KBD currently and at this point of the season it is still all about winning. Like it or not Wiggins has 5 years left on his contract, we still need to try and develop him right now and currently he is still the best SF on the roster.

I was thinking about the Utah game at home with Jimmy sitting. They maybe had 10K for attendance. Jimmy makes a half mil per game. They should have refunded $50 a ticket to the fans that night.

Shouldn't the wolves be allowed to pay Jimmy for only the games they want considering he only plays in the games he wants. Didn't see him on the bench again tonight. Thibs is such a fucking coward! How can we let him run this team, when he can't control one player.

We had the leader, Amilee Jefferson was the lead leader in the G League last year. I have a sneaky suspicion that Amilee wouldn't have made an impact on this team. It is hard to find diamond in the roughs. Hopefully we do but they are G League players for a reason.

It could be worse, we could be the Lakers right now.

Or better yet, how about we pool all that money and create Jimmy Butler scholarships for area high school students? :)

Yep and that is my big problem. Thibs allows this behavior, it should be you play or you get fined and if you dont want to play you are suspended without pay. How can thibs ever punish any player going forward when he didn't do it with Butler.

Thibs has created this culture, and even though I have liked how he has coached this year in general the overall culture has outdone anything he has changed schematically.

What are your thoughts on Walton, because if he is fired, I personally would love to scoop him up.
