23 points on Sunday against your former team.
Sigh—I’m clenching my fist and raising it at you—but that’s only part of the reason.
Let’s rewind some current events. Look at the way our new arrivals from last offseason treated you, starting with Jimmy Butler:

It’s pretty clear who’s responsible for the scuttle. It wasn’t you.
The bottom line is, Ricky Rubio, in your interactions with the Timberwolves, you were treated with disdain and disrespect–as if you were the villain.
