Towns needs 14 rebounds to reach the 1000 mark. I kind of want him to get it, although his hunting for stats is probably a contributing factor to the team failure this season. So let him get it, and then drill into him over the off-season that stat-hunting does not win ball games.

I sure hope this is not Rubio's last game as a Timberwolf...

We need to lose this game tonight, too many teams are jumbled together. If it was a only one spot we could drop in the lottery but 2-3? Nah give Payne and Rush extended minutes this game

Dunn replacing Rubio in the starting lineup. Rubio available to play. Hmm... What does this mean?!?

Ha!

Although I really don't get it. Thibs has been super consistent with his lineups. And to do this on the final game of the season?

Maybe he is forcing the other players to generate assists instead of relying on Rubio...

2-3 lottery spots are just too much, even for crazy Tom

I think it's pretty clear to me now. Thibs wants his big guns -- Wiggins, Towns and Zach -- to create the shots. Rubio takes that away from them.

This leaves me thinking Rubio will be traded this summer...

Well, nice recovery after getting off to a slow start. Dunn with 6 assists.

Rockets are kind of a good team for Towns to get rebounds. They hoist those shots up quick!
