Towns needs to learn to control his emotions better on the floor.
That was a stupid shot out of frustration. Your team is on a 9-2 run late in a close game.
CALM THE F*** DOWN AND BE SMARTER.
— Minnesota Sports Fan (@realmnsportsfan) December 5, 2017
Yeah well I would be pissed too when I have the ability to be a perennial all star but the coaching only allows me to shoot 4 times in a game
— Caleb Strack (@strackerMSF) December 5, 2017
Big part of that is on him.
— Minnesota Sports Fan (@realmnsportsfan) December 5, 2017
Not so sure. Getting the ball passed to you isn't always your choice.
— Caleb Strack (@strackerMSF) December 5, 2017
Definitely not all on him but I bet other great big man wouldn’t have had that problem with Thibs as a coach.
— Minnesota Sports Fan (@realmnsportsfan) December 5, 2017
Thibs holds Towns lack of defense against him on offense. Wouldn't surprise me to see Towns leave when his contract is up if this continues.
— Caleb Strack (@strackerMSF) December 5, 2017
Lol, calm down Little Brother.

That starting rotation….
?…
— Minnesota Sports Fan (@realmnsportsfan) December 4, 2017
It could be decent, especially with Gonsalves/Romero/Littell/etc waiting in the wings, but yeah. They need to add.
— Nick Nelson (@NickNelsonMN) December 4, 2017
I like all 3 of those prospects but with this lineup (and I know the upgrades look to be coming in FA) I don’t know what I’d do if this is the rotation they trot out for week 1….
Probably tweet/write negatively about it…
— Minnesota Sports Fan (@realmnsportsfan) December 4, 2017
Timberwolves offense needs to move with a purpose. They were just going through the motions last night
