@Hearsky’s post reminded me of two things:

First, this…

Second, I had a roommate in the past who had loaned another roommate a pair of his soccer socks. The roommate that loaned them out needed them for a game, so he ended up going through his dirty clothes to find them. When he pulled out his socks, **** spilled out of it. That wasn’t the worst part, however. He ended up wearing the socks.

LOL Great simpsons clip as well.
The lesson as always, men/boys are pigs.

I agree with you. Look several games of Minny and clearly this team have a big problem. The same problem we got last year, lot of individual talents but with selfish and big EGO..... not creating a good .... they may go for a huge disapointment which will be all benefit for us. I wil be happy for us and sad for Rudy.

I don't think it was natural for Rudy to lead and that's fine, not everyone has to be that guy. But it is a problem when you've got guys like Towns, Edwards, and Russell setting the team culture. As great of a player Rudy is, he's not the personality that will change the locker room. I agree, they do have a huge problem over there. IMO, it's not too different from when Jimmy Butler was traded there. Jimmy is kind of an *******, just like Rudy, but he plays hard and has the right approach to the game. He was pushed out even though it would have benefited the rest of the team to not be so soft. Minnesota is backed into a corner with Rudy and I don't think they can move him, but just like Butler I don't think Rudy can change the culture and his attitude towards the game (which is the correct way to play) will always be inflammatory with guys like Towns, Russell, and Edwards.

Totally agree with that. Maybe Rudy can request for a trade if things don't go well this year. He deserve to win a championship for me. But at the moment probably just land at the wrong place...
 
Interesting things on after game ITW.

Lauri saying that he play with some good PG before but never with a PG so good for passing the ball as Mike.

Coach Hardy telling about the way he communicate with the players at crutch time : I talk to Mike and Mike talk to the players. It's all about Me and Mike then Mike and the team. seems to be working quite well.....

Hardy is doing it right. but also hats off to all the players for listening and responding well. this probably didn't work last year as we have drama queens and a robotic coach.
 
Kessler looked like he had a little extra in the tank today, probably the first time playing in front of a bunch people he knew as an NBA player. It's nice to know he has an extra gear for special occasions.

This is going to be blasphemous, but watching Conley operate in the 4th quarter was the closest thing to Stockton that I can remember. He just seemed to masterfully know how to get all of the other 9 players on the court exactly where he wanted them and then dish out the perfect pass for the easy bucket. It was beautiful.

Another thing, it seems like we lead most of these games almost from start to finish.

Not only do we lead for most of the game but we almost always give up a big run and let the other team back in before we snap out of it. I don't think I have ever seen anything quite like it. Last year we got those big leads and suddenly the momentum would shift and we all knew it was over because of hero ball.
