Shabazz does seem like the type of player thibs would hate.

Yeah, Thibs tolerated Shabazz last year when the team had less talent, and Shabazz played reasonably well. Thibs didn’t exercise his option after last season but signed him as a late addition to fill out the roster after Shabazz didn’t get any real offers in free agency. At the beginning of this season he played, but he was pretty terrible and the team sucked with him on the floor. It didn’t take long for Thibs to send him to the end of the bench. The only two games he’s played in since the beginning of December were both 25 point blowouts that he got into with less than five minutes to play. It’s safe to say Thibs pretty much hates him at this point.verb_to_trust wrote:Shabazz does seem like the type of player thibs would hate.
Verb, here is a great article by theRinger that explains what I meant. Seriously, read this.verb_to_trust wrote:What does that even mean?PHATJ wrote:For the last six weeks he has been close.verb_to_trust wrote:Jimmy Butler is not even close to the MVP of the National Basketball Association.
Whatever, what's the point of even playing if you don't win the championship? It's why I never play pickup games.PHATJ wrote:Well, I’m glad you read it. It at least illustrates what I was getting at when I said he’s been mvp caliber over the last six weeks. I know you hate him because of how things went down in Chicago, but he’s exactly what MN needed; an alpha male with the balls to say what needs to be said and the on court ability to back it up 100%. As for championships, as I see it there are maybe only 2-4 legit contenders in the entire league. And honestly, if the Warriors play close to their potential, there’s only one. For now, Wolves fans will be happy with a playoff appearance and a series win would be great. We’ll see how things develop from there.

Number one in the league in plus/minus, top ten in defensive win shares, and top 25% in defensive rating since December 1st.
