What Do The Timberwolves Need To Do To Win Game 2? Only Thibs Knows

Yeah I hear your inner critic: “Well, I don’t know. We need to go in a million directions and isolate as many factors as possible.”

Ok…again, which ones matter?

I don’t think we will know for sure. I know someone who does: Thibs.

Listen to his reactions during the postgame:

He’s talking about Karl-Anthony Towns here.

So What, you might be asking. Why should you care?

Here’s why, and let’s get the record straight: the Timberwolves did not lose because of whatever expletive that comes out of Charles Barkley’s mouth.

Heh.

Since when did he care about the Timberwolves?

(Smh)

(He does not.)

The Timberwolves, simply put, lost because of mismatches and misplays, strategies that Thibs has already fixed by now leading to Wednesday’s game.
