    I bet you didn't even know who Nurk was before Blazers got him

    So based off of 1 fucking game, Nurk is better?

    KAT has had a few 30/20 games.

    So in your world, Layman is better than Drexler because Layman had 17 points his first game and Clyde had 2?

    Trying to look objectively, or as some of you say negatively. Going from best player vs best player, Butler and Dame basically cancel each other out. Towns and CJ are pretty close, but Towns is the better player. Then to 3rd best players and Nurk vs Wiggins. Nurk is better. Then the supporting cast of Dieng, Teague, Gibson, Crawchuck, Muhammed vs Harkless, Aminu, Turner, Vonleh, Davis or Napier. I give the edge to Minnesota.

    So IMO, right now, the puppies have a better roster.

    Assuming for the sake of argument that the TPups have a more talented roster overall...

    The more germane questions are:

    (1) how do those skills translate into the modern NBA and

    (2) how do those players mesh together to form an effective team

    vs. same questions for the Blazers?

    Commence argument....

    Man I love my team like any die hard fan but the homerism that some fans have makes you question anything they have to say

    I'm always confused about the love Minny gets every offseason. They're like the person who looks like they can fuck all night, but can't get it done in bed.

    Losing Rubio will be addition by subtraction and Minny might end up will a great record and make the playoffs this year, but I can't just do a full on swap of rosters; I don't think in that way.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    If you could be a Timberwolves fan for this coming season and then re-evaluate which team is your favorite next year, would you?
