Minnesota Timberwolves (6–14 W-L, 5th in Northwest Division, 14th in Western Conference) @ Chicago Bulls (13–10 W-L, 2nd in Central Division, 6th in Eastern Conference)
Rondo tweaked his ankle during Monday's practice and will now sit out, as the Bulls don't want to risk aggravating the injury even further. He'll undergo additional treatment over the next few days, with his next opportunity to take the court on Thursday against the Bucks. Jerian Grant will draw the start at point guard in his place, and could be a cheap option in DFS contests for those needing some cost relief at the point guard position.
>Michael Carter-Williams (wrist, knee) will be re-evaluated on Friday, and the Bulls are hopeful that he can return next week. MCW is recovering from a bone bruise in his left knee, as well as a sprain and bone chip in his left wrist. His return will be good news for the Bulls' backcourt depth, but he's an unlikely source of fantasy value while Rajon Rondo is healthy. from rotoworld

Asher Butler
TWolves to get BTFO again
Brody Perez
>Defense vs Offense edition
Thomas Anderson
>show replay of thib's return >play music over it and can't hear any applause bravo espn, good reporting
Brody Long
It's still super early to think about this but, the twolves have one of the worst 3rd quarters while the bulls do as well; who has the worse one today?
Xavier Peterson
Game's also on WGN if you're able to get it.
Aiden Lewis
dat airball
Benjamin Bell
Loving robin's hook shot. That's some vintage bball right there
Alexander Smith
Oh fuck, this is completely one sided. Thibs must be fucking fuming.
Andrew Moore
Nice defense tpups. You'll be scary in 2-3 years when you're done breastfeeding
Alexander Nguyen
BLOWN THE FUCK OUT
John Phillips

/nba/ currently: Cockroaches hiding under the fridge
Nathaniel Rogers
>You can actually hear Thibs losing his fucking mind right now
Noah Young
Niko still needs to put his weight up
Christian Perry
It's pretty crazy how overrated they were >bookies had their season wins at 40 games
Leo Ward
Wait until the injuries come.
Julian Foster
If he keeps going so hard, he's gonna have a fucking aneurysm on the floor
No wonder it's so cold in Chicago. Hell is freezing over boys..
Ethan Wright
>pups can't even help their man up properly Kek is there anything they can't do wrong?
Hudson Ward
CP3 at this point in his career isnt better than Butler imo, even though advanced stats say he is. But advanced stats say he is better than all but Westbrook.
Kawhi and Butler are basically the same player, though Jimmy is a little better on offense while kawhi is a little better on defense so they could be interchangable at 8 or 9
Michael Allen
Thibodeau has serious deficiencies as a coach
Isaiah Collins
Slippy C
Ryan Rogers
I feel like he'd be better as a player development coach instead of an actual coach
Alexander Evans
>dat mcdermott squeal
Leo Perez
I don't get this twolves team. They don't push the ball, they don't play defense, they don't run plays, and they don't hustle. What the fuck is thibs even doing?
David Harris
>Implying he wouldn't just whoop ass like Michael Jackson's parents
Brandon Foster
overworking them at practice is my guess
Jeremiah Sanchez
>overworking >thibs
Oh no that don't sound like him at all
Nicholas Stewart
Kek I think only butler liked thib's coaching style.
I wouldn't be surprised if he did that
Jacob Robinson
>implying that's not important He could easily slap someone who shoots
Adrian Perry
wasn't even out of bounds, what a load of shit
Christopher Cox
>Shitcago
JUST
Zachary Howard
Watching it on HD, he was
Michael Carter
TWolves need to trade Rubio. He's just not doing anything worth keeping beyond this season.
Jaxson Kelly
>trading rubio >implying anyone would want him >can't shoot or score, only pass
Logan James
time for some half time chicken nuggers, mmmm mmmm mmm!
Mason Baker
>rondo
Christian Clark
Believe it or not, Rondo can fucking shoot 3s all of a sudden.
I'm still in disbelief myself.
Samuel Allen
...
Austin Cruz
The Wolves are better with Rubio. Thibs is just retarded and doesnt let the only passer in the team be in position to pass. He'd rather have him sit in the corner
Lucas Reyes
He will replace Sergio Rodriguez on the 76ers.
Carter Gonzalez
"Grilled" cheese and hot cocoa here >tfw only have 3 cheese squares but I wanna make 4 sandwiches
Liam Lee
I wanted to make some grill cheese but my microwave doesn't work
Ethan Williams

Logan Torres
Will Dieng and Deng ever play together?

Caleb Fisher
What exactly happened here? Why is it going from 57-60 -> 62 -> 60?

Damn. What a fucking lob.
Jordan Ramirez
I was enjoying the game more without the commentary
Joshua Cook
Who is doing the play by play on ESPN?
Lucas Davis
there is no point in living
Adam Stewart
What is interesting is Minnesota statistically has the 2nd turdest quarter in the league.
Brody Gonzalez
Fucking shit about time >we get a whistle
Luis Hughes
If the bulls throw this, I might start doing a thibs inspired chimp out
Anthony Evans
>Watching E/SP/N
Tyler Garcia
