Is it time to move Teague to the 2nd unit? Rose isn't going to have these games nightly, but damn if he isn't a fun guy to watch! Him and Okogie flying around all over the place, so much fun!


I've been blasted previously over my discontent of/with both Butler and Teague, but they just dont work here.

Rose likely will never have a game like this again, but our ball movement and effort on both ends was 1000x better tonight than in any game with butler/teague in the mix


He doesn't have to replicate tonight, hell, if played half as well he's still better than what teague is giving them.

I don't have high hopes for this team winning a lot this season, but I could enjoy watching the joy that Rose and Okogie play with, KAT and Wigs too if they continue to play that way!


Agreed. It was just all out enjoyment from our team. Complete relief of actually playing team ball.

Yeah, we do need you Jimmy, when the only option is to sit idly by while you do you.

Move on Timberwolves.

Get Jimmy's diva ass out of here ASAP and let don't let these good vibes be soured by having that btchass around the team one second longer.


What a difference between Butler and Rose, one a selfish bastard who only gives a shit about himself and the other who obviously cares so much about the game, and playing on a vet minimum deal! It's been a long time since I was so moved emotionally by a Wolves game, a very, very long time!

For me it surpasses the 3 point buzzer beater by Love to beat the Clips about 6 years back. Not a night I'll ever forget.

Both play extremely hard and give it their all on the court. But that's about where things end. Obviously they're at two different points in their careers but even at the height of Derrick's greatness the guy just kept his head down and played.

There's not a whole lot of players especially superstars built like DRose mentally out there anymore. Duncan was like that too.

Not sure how many caught Rose's post game presser, but it sure sounded like Butler was hyped from that performance. It sound like he was chattering to Rose when he was sitting down for the media and then said "that's what I'm talking about!" Just find that interesting.

Family obligations had me miss the game. Nice to be able to catch up on things with this thread. Sounds like it was a bad game to miss. I didn't even remember to record it. But thanks for all the commentary. Gives me some hope going forward. Feel great for D Rose.

Cool, if you Directv they usually replay around midnight, and sometimes noon the next day. They are usually condensed somewhat. Would imagine it would be the same for other outlets, as it is shown on FSN.

Thanks dude, i had DirectTV for 20 years but am currently living in an aparment while I build a new house. I had to get cable in the apartment so unfortunately I don't have the option.

The thing that sucks the most is a lot of the games aren't HD like they always are on DirectTV

In all this Drose talk let's not forget

- how awesome was towns

- how hard Okogie made Mitchell work and played within himself offensively

- Wiggins played a solid 2 way game

- Gibson and toliver battled

- He didn't do much but I like Nunnley, made good post entry passes, and every time he touched the ball the Jazz yelled shooter. Defense needs work

- Teague and Deng seemed like extra coaches on the bench.

- They had fun

Please just go away. C'mon Glen, take what you can get and move on. We can still have a nice team with a chance to go places.
