The Jazz have turned around their early season record with three straights wins on their current road trip, leaving them undefeated on the road. They arrive in Minnesota looking for a four-game sweep. The Jazz and Wolves match-up, particularly since the acquisition of former Wolves guard Ricky Rubio, has become a bit chippy over the past year. The past few games have led to a few ejections, as well as last year's game-thread's prediction of the Crowder/Thibbs kerfuffle that you should really go back and read about right here.

The Wolves are struggling with internal strife, as Jimmy Butler pulled some MIA this season, which necessitated Thibbs to drop all responsibilities and track down his favorite player. Today Butler will be taking the day off.

Ricky is slated to take Donovan out on a joyride in Thibbs' Ferrari.

But with Crowder possibly out tonight, someone will have to step up to challenge the sausage king.

Rose: You want to talk about your problem?
Wiggins: With you? Are you serious?
Rose: Yeah, I'm serious.
Wiggins: You really want to know what's wrong?
Wiggins: All right. In a nutshell, I hate Butler. How's that?
Rose: That's cool.
Wiggins: I went home to confirm that the ******** was ditching practice and Layden came and picked me up for missing practice.
Rose: What do you care if Butler ditches practice?
Wiggins: Why should he get to ditch practice when everybody else has to go?
Rose: You could ditch.
Wiggins: I'd get caught.
Rose: So, you're pissed at him because he ditches practice and doesn't get reprimanded?
Wiggins: Basically.
Rose: Then your problem is you.
Wiggins: Excuse me?
Rose: Excuse you. You oughta spend a little more time dealing with yourself and a little less time worrying about what Butler does. It's just an opinion.
 
Rubio vs D Rose - who we literally owned last season... how's he getting minutes over Tyus Jones anyway?

Classic Game Thread!
 
Great Gamethread post. And I can totally imagine Mitchell and Rubio grinning, tearing around town in a sports car.

We are getting very lucky with good players not playing against us. KAT might be rejuvenated by this. But Rudy will have something to say about that...
 
Jimmy out with "general soreness" is great. Note he did not say physical or mental... it's just general soreness... like when I work out really hard but don't stretch.

Kat should sit with "general disinterest".
 
So Jimmy wants out so he can get the 5 year megamax where he wants. This is pre-negotiation... I expect the league to step in or there to be fines if he continues to sit with "general soreness".

Minny should have already moved him, but if you are getting paid to play and are healthy you should play. The 5 year deal was meant to reward guys for staying with their teams... not to get guys out a year early if they don't like their situation.

Butler out. Kyrie Irving already out of our Boston game. This is insanity.
 
Don't take any team for granted. I know we are different now, but remember when we lost to the Clippers in a must win even though they sat Jordan, Chris Paul and Griffen?

On another note, I hope Butler gets traded soon. I hate when these things drag out.
