Welcome back
We always could spot a friend
Welcome back
And I smile when I think
How you must have been

Poor Jeff Teague is going to really see tonight how much Wolves die-hards miss Ricky. I want my Wolves to win, but there is a teeny weeny part of me that would love to see Ricky help Utah to a W and show up Thibs.Based on the spotty performance of two nights ago, it's hard to go into any game confident against a Western Conference foe. 0-2 would not be a good look heading to OKC Sunday......

I hope Rubio has the worst game of his career, no offense to him but we need to win this game point blank

The Teague thing could potentially be a delicate situation. If he was really pissed about staying on the bench down the stretch against the Spurs, and if something like that happens again tonight while the hometown crowd is cheering for Ricky, that could alienate the guy a bit. From what I can tell though, he seems like a pretty level-headed veteran. If Thibs communicated his reasons for going with Tyus in San Antonio, I don't see it being a big deal. And I doubt anybody would boo Teague tonight, even if he doesn't play great. That said, it would be a good time for him to have a good game!

I'm a little excited to see Donovan Mitchell. That guy looked amazing in Summer League. Relentless defense. If Wiggins isn't ready and careful with his handle, that could lead to some turnovers and fast breaks against us.

I thought the offense looked kinda lost in that Spurs game. It seemed to take guys awhile to figure out where they were supposed to be, and there wasn't a lot of motion early enough in the shot clock, I thought. I really hope that gets straightened out, because we definitely have the talent to be a good offensive team, but we need to figure it out soon. Every game counts.

Bummed I am going to miss this one live tonight. It sure would be nice if you guys could deliver a win in my absence! :)

I'd like to see Kat take over. Stop getting cute with your passes, stop falling for pump fakes and just dominate the paint.

Agreed Jerry. He needs to man up.

Well Rubios shot looks familiar. Don't miss that. The layup was hilarious.

I'm disappointed in our bigs. They just look like they get pushed around with ease and they suck at rebounding. Show some damn toughness and move some bodies down there.

Joe Ingles is not a starter. Great bench player. Glad we didn't get in a bidding war for him.
