Many Republicans years ago disputed the notion of global warming, but the political pendulum has shifted and congressional debate now generally focuses on how to fix it rather than whether it exists.
But the prospects of global warming legislation have taken some hits in recent months as the economy has soured.
Sen. Sherrod BrownSherrod Campbell BrownOvernight Finance: Senate repeals auto-lending guidance, shattering precedent with vote | House passes IRS reform bills | Senate GOP fears tax cut sequel Dem Senator open to bid from the left in 2020 GOP Senate hopefuls race to catch up with Dems MORE (D-Ohio), a strong supporter of going green, wrestled with how to vote on the climate bill that came before the upper chamber last month. He ultimately decided to vote against cloture as the motion fell 12 votes short of the necessary 60.
At the time, Brown cited the economy in explaining his vote, saying the bill "needlessly may hurt my state because it fails to protect against what could be a policy that exports emissions rather than eliminating emissions."
Likewise, soaring gas prices have caused some lawmakers to rethink their positions on drilling for oil and gas. Rep. Roscoe Bartlett (R-Md.) has reversed himself and now supports drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR).
Former Rep. Jeb Bradley (R-N.H.), who is running for his old seat, has also altered his ANWR position and took heat about it during a GOP primary debate earlier this month.
"Finger-pointing isn't going to help anyone," Bradley said. "Conditions change and when conditions change, you have to change with them."
Bradley is right. Politicians regularly attract criticism for changing their positions, but having the courage to shift publicly on certain policies is a strength, not a weakness. As the British economist John Maynard Keynes said, "When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir?"
Democratic leaders in Congress have not altered their position on drilling in ANWR, but have made drilling in various other parts of the United States a key talking point.
President Bush on Tuesday also shifted positions on the pending housing reform bills. Previously, his administration had vowed to veto both the House and Senate measures, though it now wants Congress to send a final bill quickly to his desk for him to sign.
It's an election year, but when economic woes hit every part of the country, lawmakers and the president react accordingly. Earlier this year, Congress overwhelmingly passed an economic stimulus package that Bush praised. More is needed — perhaps another stimulus package as well as the housing bill.
How much more is necessary is not clear, though it is refreshing to see members on both sides of the aisle adapting to the circumstances around them.

PGA Tour joins PGA America in opposition to proposed 'belly putter' ban
The PGA Tour has come out against the proposed ban of anchored putters from 2016 - but is not saying yet what it will do if the ban comes into force.
The rule-making Royal and Ancient Club and United States Golf Association are in a period of consultation at the moment, but the US tour's announcement will probably give them real cause for thought, especially as the PGA of America are also against the move.
Tour commissioner Tim Finchem said today: 'Our player advisory council looked at it twice. We had the USGA come in and make a presentation to a player meeting in San Diego and the USGA made a presentation to our board.
In the firing line: Keegan Bradley is one of the players who uses the controversial 'belly putter'
'We researched and looked at it and articulated our position at the end of last week to the USGA and shared that thinking also with the R&A.
'Essentially where the PGA Tour came down was that they did not think that banning anchoring was in the best interest of golf or the PGA Tour.'
Finchem also stated that 13 of the 15 players on their advisory council were against the ban.
'I would note that the PGA of America came to the same conclusion after consultation with their membership. The Golf Course Owners Association came to the same conclusion as well,' Finchem said.
'I think the essential thread that went through the thinking of the players and our board of directors and others was that in the absence of data or any basis to conclude that there is a competitive advantage to be gained by using anchoring - and given the amount of time that anchoring has been in the game, that there was no over-riding reason to go down that road.
Divided camps: Adam Scott using a belly putter
'An awful lot of amateurs today use anchoring and a number of players on the PGA Tour who have grown up with a focus on perfecting the anchoring method, if you will, did so after the USGA on multiple occasions approved the method years ago.
'For us to join in supporting a ban we think as a direction is unfair to both groups of individuals.
'We have worked with the USGA over the last 20 years on a wide range of rules issues.
'I continue to hope that regardless of where this matter ends up that it gets there after a process that is good-natured, open and not contrary or divisive. That's certainly our intention.
Level playing field: Tim Finchem says the ban would be unfair to the scores of juniors who have grown up using the putter
'We hold the USGA in the highest regard as a key part of the game of golf. We don't attempt to denigrate that position in any way whatsoever.
'It's just on this issue we think if they were to move forward they would be making a mistake.'
Asked what happens if the ban happens, Finchem added: 'I don't know because we have, I think carefully and intentionally, avoided at this point getting into a discussion about that issue.
'We have not even begun that discussion.
'This is a very subjective area. Everybody has an opinion about it and we certainly respect everybody's opinion.
Anchor men: Fred Couples of the United States is another player who uses the belly putter
'The PGA of America has concluded that it will hurt the game with certain numbers of amateurs. We agree with that.
'One thing we know for sure on the professional side is the professional game globally is stronger than it's ever been today and that on the heels of having anchoring as part of it for the last 30 or 40 years.
'It certainly hasn't been a negative. You can't point to one negative impact of anchoring.
'Now some people might say I don't think you should anchor or I don't think you should do that or I don't think you should do that, but it hasn't translated into a negative thing for the sport.
'That's why we're having trouble with it.'
In reaction to the news, former Europe Ryder Cup captain Colin Montgomerie warned the proposed ban could 'open up a whole new can of worms.'
'It's a very dangerous situation we are getting ourselves into and I do hope they can sort this out very, very quickly,' said Montgomerie on Sky Sports.
Warning: Former Europe Ryder Cup captain Colin Montgomerie said the proposed ban could open the door for inconsistency between tournaments and further rule changes
'I thought, as we all did, that the rules of golf were set by the R&A and the USGA. Tim Finchem has obviously thought otherwise. Whether the European Tour think that or not has to be debated too.
'I think we should go with what the R&A and USGA feel. Whether the long putter should have been banned 20 years ago or not, it should be banned now.
'We should abide by that. To now go against that and say 'my players aren't going to go by that' then what happens when you come to USGA events or the British Open?
'Does that mean you have to use a different club?
'He's said 'we abide by the rules of golf, but I think we are going to change this one'.
'Does that mean other rules can change as well? We want to play as one under the same rules.
'The R&A and USGA have served the game of golf for a long, long time and long may that continue.'

A huge night at Target Center for the Wolves and their fans.

MINNEAPOLIS — Down two games to none in an unfavorable first round series against the lethal, unrelenting high-speed Houston Rockets, the Timberwolves returned home to a city that hasn't hosted a playoff game since 2003-04. The building was booming from the jump with chants of "Let's go Wolves!" and "DE-FENSE, DE-FENSE, DE-FENSE" setting an energetic tone.

Another not so predictable chant took place later in the night. Avoiding the sweep clearly wasn't enough for the playoff starved fans that packed the Target Center on Saturday. "Wolves in six," filled the building once the game was no longer in question. From anxious and concerned to overconfident and unreasonably bold. In the end, it was only one aspect of a night that won't soon be forgotten. The Wolves finally won their first playoff game in 14 years, 121-105. Doing it in front of the hometown fans that have waited an eternity for this moment made it all the more sweet.

The Playoff Teague many have talked about in the past showed up. Eventually it simply looked like Teague had enough of Chris Paul. The time arrived for him to leave his mark and the second half was full of clutch shots from one of the biggest free agent additions in franchise history; 17 of his 23 points came after the break. With every bucket, emotion poured out of Teague for the world to consume. He pounded his chest in enthusiasm and waved his hands in the air wanting to hear the fans even louder than they already were.

  Jesse Johnson-USA TODAY Sports
Live shot of the one they call "Playoff Teague."

Teague was asked about how emotional he appeared to be in the second half. "Nah, I do that every game," he said. A subtle laugh followed. And while Teague certainly brought the best version of himself to game three, it was the Wolves' two stars, along with one they have tons of hope for in the future, that helped them avoid another loss to Houston.

Jimmy Butler looked like his old, aggressive, All-Star self from the jump. He got things started quickly in the first, attacking and finishing early and often. In the win, Butler did what so many have been waiting for him to do this series, even with a nicked up body trying to hold him back; Jimmy led the Wolves. Not even a tweaked ankle late in the second was going to keep him down. An injured wrist? A surgical repaired knee. You get the feeling Butler will do anything for his team, and that's the type of leader the Wolves have missed since Garnett.

"Yeah, he's out there giving it all," said Teague. "He's a hell of a player. He's the heart and soul. When he's out there competing, it rubs off on everyone. The atmosphere was great. That's the effort we need."

Butler led the Wolves with 28 points on 10-19 shooting. It was the sixth 28+ point playoff performance of his career. He added seven rebounds and five assists.

"I can tell you for the last couple of days that I got tired of my teammates telling me to be more aggressive," Butler said earnestly.

"I think that I took it upon myself to do just that. They are used to me being aggressive the past seven months, so don't switch it up now. I did that. I did my job. We did our job, and we won this game."

There were a lot of highlights.

The Wolves once again stopped Houston from hitting full stride, containing one of the NBA's best offenses with improved pick-and-roll coverages and strong shot contesting. This time, though, the Wolves offense finally showed up the party.

"We guarded though, we guarded," said Butler. "It always helps when you make shots. They missed a lot of shots that they normally make. All in all, we were just out there playing basketball. And I think that's just how we want to do it here on out."

Karl-Anthony Towns recorded his first career playoff double-double with 18 points and a postseason-high 16 rebounds, including 13 defensive boards. After struggling mightily in his first two playoff games, as Houston made it their highest priority to take him out of the game with quick double-teams—daring others to beat them before the BIG KAT could—Towns started game three with the same passive play that hurt the Wolves in the first two games of the series.

After being patient to start, Towns finally turned up the heat. A monstrous slam on Clint Capela led to an emotional display that signaled his arrival in the series. A ferocious flex combined with a little trash talk afterwards (reminiscent of his mentor, KG) seemed to be the turning point in the game for the Wolves' incredibly talented center.

"I think it is a sense of patience," Towns said, after being asked about letting the game come to him with the way Houston is sending extra defenders at him from all different angles.

"In the first quarter I don't think I shot a shot. Just letting the game come to me and not trying to rush and not trying to find shots and just let the shots find me. My teammates were amazing. Jeff was out there balling. Derrick, Jimmy, Taj … everyone was doing their job … Andrew."

Andrew Wiggins dropped 20 points on 7-11 shooting and is now averaging 17.0 points per game in his first three career playoff games. He grabbed five rebounds and has now tallied 5+ rebounds in each game this series, which is an area that always seems to help his team succeed. Wiggins' drive-and-kick game was putting the Rockets on tilt and getting teammates clean looks from deep. He played with poise and defended with pride, doing his best to keep various Houston wings from catching fire.

"I like games like this," said Wiggins. "It's crucial, there's a lot on the line. I feel like I play good under pressure." Thibodeau was asked whether or not we're seeing another side of Wiggins come out in his first playoff series.

"Andrew's played very well. He's done very well down the stretch and he's played well in the playoffs. He played an all-around game. The rebounding was good and the playmaking—he had five assists. He's trusting the pass, he's making the right read on the double team. I thought that it became contagious with everyone. Jimmy was making plays. I thought Karl got going in the second half you know and that was important for us. His activity was terrific. I thought Derrick gave us a big boost off the bench, but we needed everyone."

James Harden recorded 29 points, seven assists, and seven rebounds but took 21 shots to get there and added four turnovers that helped the Wolves get out and push the pace in transition. The eventual MVP struggled to get in a rhythm and wasn't able to take over like he did in game one.

"It's a team effort," said Wiggins. When trying to contain a sensational offensive talent like Harden, it's about slowing him down, rather than stopping him altogether. That's what the Wolves were able to do. "He has a lot of tools, a lot of stuff he can do. As a team we're trying to slow him down," said Wiggins.

Chris Paul finished the night with 17 points on 7-of- 11 shooting. He also added six assists. Ryan Anderson made his return the Rockets lineup after missing the first two games of the series with a bum left ankle. He nailed four treys, which is ironic since Houston was 18-1 when he made 3+ during the season. The Wolves, however, matched the Rockets from deep and that was always the area they would need to close the gap to steal a win. Tonight from beyond the arc:

Wolves: 15-27
Rockets: 15-41

That's obviously huge, and not something the Wolves can count on, but when it comes, it's a joy to watch. A big part of it was the Wolves ball movement, not usually a strength of the team. They had 29 assists on 45 made field goals, and a lot of it was finding open guys on the perimeter against a double-teaming and collapsing defense. It probably makes sense to leave most of the Wolves alone beyond the arc, but tonight they made the Rockets pay.

Another positive factor in the Wolves first playoff win was the performance of Derrick Rose, who, especially given the moment, played his best game as a Wolf. He finished with 17 points on 8-16 shooting coming off the bench. 10 of those points came in the second quarter alone. That was a pivotal moment when Tom Thibodeau went back to the same lineup that saw his team relinquish the lead and lose complete control of things in game two (Teague-Crawford-Rose-Butler-Towns). I wanted to issue a warning to everyone on Twitter that things were set to fall a part but decided to wait a few minutes before going there. It appeared Thibs, again, was playing with fire and would inevitably get burnt. But Rose's play helped make sure that didn't happen.

"The fans were great, the crowd was great," said Taj Gibson. "Like I said from Day 1, we're doing this for Minnesota. The fans pushed us over the limit, they were in it the whole game. We felt the energy. One thing about this crowd, they let you know when you're playing bad and let you know when you're playing great. It was a great atmosphere today."

On Saturday at Target Center, in front of a sellout crowd, the Wolves gave everyone in attendance reason to go nuts. The unreasonably cocky chants of "Wolves in six" were a product of the fantastic display of basketball from a franchise that has taken forever to finally arrive after all of these years being lost in the woods.

Playoff basketball is back in Minneapolis, and on Monday night it will return again. There will be more loud chants and an opportunity to send Houston another message; the Wolves aren't going to crumble that easily.

Target Center hosts its first NBA playoff game since 2004.

Rockets at Timberwolves
6:30 pm CDT
ESPN

No matter what happens in the game, this is an exciting night at Target Center for Wolves fans: The first home playoff game since 2004.

Unfortunately, though perhaps expectedly, they return home down 2-0 in their series with the top-seeded Houston Rockets. The Wolves pushed the Rockets to the end in game one, falling by three points after trailing significantly for most of the game. Game two was much less in doubt after the Rockets seized control in the second quarter and cruised home from there.

The Rockets are obviously the better team, and it's not clear what the Wolves can do to get back into the series, although as we saw with the Bucks and Wizards yesterday, getting into your own building can help immensely. So far, we've seen some reasonably successful defense from the Wolves, holding the Rockets to shooting percentages and point totals they can live with, but it's been the offense that has failed them.

Lots of attention has been paid to Karl-Anthony Towns and the two game slump he's in, and rightly so. He is the Wolves best offensive player and they need him to play like it. Throughout the season getting him the ball enough was an underlying issue, but it has been exacerbated in the post-season with the Rockets switching but ready with a double-team lurking, usually in the person of one of their long forwards like P.J. Tucker or Trevor Ariza. This has cut Towns off, and he hasn't figured out how to respond.

I'd like to see him get the ball on the perimeter more, either for three point attempts or drives, and I'd also like to see more pick and roll action involving Towns. But the Rockets are very good defensively, and nothing comes easy.

Meanwhile, Jimmy Butler is clearly hurting, and does not have his usual aggression and spring. He too has struggled to find good looks, and when Towns and Butler are struggling, the offense is going to struggle as a whole.

Game two featured a catastrophic stint by the three-guard bench unit that includes Jamal Crawford and Derrick Rose. That was the turning point in the game, and Thibs stuck with it for roughly six minutes while the Rockets ran roughshod over it. It worked somewhat better in game one, largely because Rose made some shots, but Thibs has to be quicker on the hook if things start to go south.

Meanwhile, the Rockets have not hit their stride from three point land so far, shooting a combined 26-89 over the two games. Some credit is due to the Wolves defense, which has done a good job of sticking with shooters, but it's also scary to think what things might look like if they get hot from beyond the arc. So far, it's only taken one of their stars—James Harden in game one and Chris Paul in game two to be on their offensive games to beat the Wolves. Hopefully the effortful defense continues from the home team.

That might get harder tonight if Ryan Anderson returns to the Rockets lineup. He's missed the fist two with injury, but was expected to be ready to go for tonight. He's hurt the Wolves all season with his three point shooting against Wolves bigs who haven't been willing or able to close out on him effectively.

Let's take a quick run around the playoffs, shall we?

Morning everyone. Get your fresh thread here!

Let's catch ourselves up on all of the non-Wolves doings in the playoffs.

Eastern Conference

 Toronto Raptors lead Washington Wizards 2-1

The Raps got rid of their first game curse and won both of their home games. Things were looking grim for the Wizards, where their seemed to be some dissension. They managed to work it out for at least one night, however, with a big 122-103 win in last night's game three. Their offense was clicking to the tune of 55% shooting, with Bradley Beal and John Wall each scoring 28. The Raptors usually potent bench couldn't make up the difference.

 Boston Celtics lead Milwaukee Bucks 2-1

A similar situation is playing out in this series, where the Celtics handled the Bucks in the first two games in Boston, but the Bucks blew them out in game three last night in Milwaukee. The Bucks shot 57%, but it was finally their ability to get some stops and win the turnover battle that got them their win.

I'm looking forward to game four of this one. The Celtics are made vulnerable by their injuries, but Brad Stevens is a fantastic coach who will make the needed adjustments.

Philadelphia Seventy-Sixers lead Miami Heat 2-1

This has been pretty tasty. Things definitely got a bit heated in the Sixers win in game three in Miami, with plenty of trash talking on both sides. The Sixers broke open a close game in the fourth quarter, however, because they simply would not miss a shot and outscored the Heat 32-14. Game three also marked Joel Embiid's playoff debut after missing the two games in Philly as he recovered from his orbital fracture. He led the Sixers with 23 points.

The Heat managed a split in Philly in the first two games, slowing the Sixers in game two when they had a terrible shooting night, while Dwyane Wade found the wayback machine. Miami will play hard and defend, and they are very well coached, but they appear outgunned in this series and have no answer for Ben Simmons, who is averaging 20-10-9.7 so far.

 Indiana Pacers lead Cleveland Cavaliers 2-1

This has been something. Game one featured an unready Cavs team being jumped on early by the Pacers, led by Victor Oladipo. The Cavs couldn't overcome losing the first quarter by 19 points, and the Pacers stole the home court advantage.

Game two was all about the King. LeBron James exploded for 46, but ultimately it was a bit disquieting, as the Cavs barely hung on to win by three points, and nobody else really showed up for the home team. It looked a bit like some of his Cavs teams from the first go-around in Cleveland.

Last night, the Cavs opened a big lead and were up 17 at halftime, but completely fell apart in the second half under a barrage of Bojan Bogdanovic three pointers (he finished with 30 points on the night.) LeBron could not stop the tide and the Pacers blew past them in the fourth quarter.

The Cavs are still fully capable of winning this series, but they are looking nothing like a contender at the moment.

Western Conference

 Golden State Warriors lead San Antonio Spurs 3-0

This one is likely to be over tomorrow. The Spurs simply can't keep up with the Warriors, even without Stephen Curry, and appear ready to call it a season. Gregg Popovich missed game three following the death of his wife, and the team, already over-matched in this series, don't seem particularly engaged in this post-season.

On the court, the Spurs just don't have the offensive weapons to keep up with the Warriors. LaMarcus Aldridge has been their primary source of scoring, but even he has struggled, and they really have nowhere else to turn to. Meanwhile, the Warriors have Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson rolling, and their ball movement involves everyone else as well.

 New Orleans Pelicans lead Portland Trailblazers 3-0

I didn't see this coming. Not so much the Pelicans winning, but just rolling through a Blazers team that seems helpless. Jrue Holiday has been fantastic, defending the potent Blazers back court to a standstill (along with the resurgent Rajon Rondo) and pouring in 23 a night. The Blazers have no way to deal with Anthony Davis, who is playing Jusuf Nurkic off the floor.

This one could end today, though it wouldn't completely shock me if the Blazers have one in them. At any rate, the Pels look to be moving on, and the Blazers will be left with big questions heading into the off-season.

 Oklahoma City Thunder tied with Utah Jazz 1-1

Fun first two games of this series saw a split in OKC. The Thunder got a huge game from Paul George in game one, as he went off for 36 and made some ridiculous shots in leading them to a win.

The Jazz responded in game two with a huge Donovan Mitchell fourth quarter and big games from Derrick Favors and Ricky Rubio. These two evenly matched teams now shift to Utah, starting tonight.

The first two games have been tight, with little separating the teams overall. Each of the four factors are very close, and it seems that a key run is deciding these games and perhaps this series. For the Jazz, getting Joe Ingles going is key, although he's played well he has not scored much so far, and they will need some shots to go in for him. For the Thunder, Russell Westbrook is averaging a triple double over the first two, but is also shooting 38 percent from the field. He's capable of winning a game, or even a series, himself, and the Thunder are going to need some heroics.

We dive in to game two and what it tells us about this franchise

EiM: OK. We're back for another one-on-one, this time about the much less entertaining game two, which the Rockets controlled from the second quarter on. I tweeted after the game that it was much more what I expected out of the series, but I should qualify that. I meant the margin of victory for the Rockets, not so much how we got there.

Although there is synergy between offense and defense, usually we can accurately point to the Wolves' defense as the reason for their losses. Last night, it was more a function of a dysfunctional offense. The Rockets still shot it poorly, though made 16 threes to the Wolves' five. James Harden shot 2-18 from the floor, scored 12 points, and dished only seven assists. The Rockets shot 36.5% overall from the field.

John, although the Rockets are clearly capable of being better offensively no matter what the Wolves throw at them, I thought the defensive effort was good, especially Towns defending the pick and roll, which really limited Houston. Before we get to all the bad stuff, what did you notice about the Wolves defense last night?

JM: The first quarter was wonderful to watch. While the Wolves were struggling to score, they put together one of the best, most complete defensive quarters of the season. There was so much promise. I loved the way Jimmy Butler was opening up and shading James Harden to go right. Jeff Teague and Butler were doing an excellent job of staying up into the bodies of Chris Paul and Harden and funneling them into Towns, who was more active and aware than he typical is. He was stepping up and dropping back in a way that inspires real confidence in his future on the defensive end.

KAT was playing with outstanding verticality at the rim, launching straight up with his arms stretched high above the rim to make shot attempts near the cup extremely difficult for Houston. Towns was showing us what he's capable of doing when he is reading pick-and-rolls well, and his guards are pushing their man to the right spots. The shot contesting early on was tremendous. Andrew Wiggins was playing with a certain fire on that end that we don't always see. Taj Gibson was being physical in the paint.

Everything was going so well. The Wolves led 23-18 after the first quarter. Houston started 5-25 from the floor with five turnovers due to the defensive intensity and execution. It was like the Tom Thibodeau defense finally arrived at the most important time. Harden was 1-7 and the Rockets were bricking everything again. The defense, as a whole, was way better than I expected going into the series. Holding Houston's dynamic offensive attack to 102 points after allowing 104 in game one is about all any reasonable person could ask for.

But the offense ... yikes. We spent the entire season talking about the lack of creativity on that end. We also mostly shrugged. I mean, should we really be complaining about the league's 4th rated offense (113.4 points per 100 possessions) when the defensive issues are ten times worse? Well, game two was the perfect example of why plenty of people didn't like the offensive system, or at least had issues with it. The lack of movement, passing, and spacing. The vanilla halfcourt sets. That stuff isn't going to cut it in the playoffs against a top defensive unit like the Rockets (6th in defense at 106.1 pp/100). There was too much standing around while one guy played hero ball.

The start of the second quarter drove me completely up the wall. The first 12 minutes were extremely promising but the lineup of Death—and not in the positive Golden State Warriors sense—reared its ugly head once again.

Eric, please tell me how in the world Thibodeau can not see that Jamal Crawford and Derrick Rose are absolute lineup killers? How is he comfortable playing this group (Teague-Crawford-Rose-Butler-Towns) in the playoffs. There was a 22-point swing in 8+ minutes. Rose and Crawford on the court together is now -23.8 points per 100 possessions in almost 32 playoff minutes. Meanwhile, Nemanja Bjelica and Tyus Jones sit on the bench collecting dust.

Wolves played an entire season and learned nothing about lineup combinations
— John Meyer (@thedailywolf) April 19, 2018

EiM: I have no answer. All season, Tyus Jones has played well, and has deserved more time. EVEN THE GUY IN FRONT OF HIM, Jeff Teague, said so on more than one occasion. Thibs was asked about playing them together: Not interested. All of a sudden, Derrick Rose is on the squad, and hey presto! Tiny lineups are in! It's beyond my comprehension, really. At any rate, that group was horrendous. Bjelica got his three decent minutes at the end of the first quarter, but was then yanked for that eyesore, which just bled points while Harden was resting. Seeing Rose get turned away at the rim time and again was brutal, and Crawford, who doesn't really help even when he's making shots ... was not making shots. I have no idea what Thibs sees in that setup.

Meanwhile, as a whole, yeah, the offensive problems that people have been pointing out all season are coming home to roost. One of the interesting things this year has been seeing tweets from national NBA writers wondering as they watch Wolves games how the offense works given how ugly it generally looks. Well ... yeah. Obviously this is exacerbated by Butler not being 100 percent. Towns tried to get going a bit early last night, but it didn't work. It still seems like the plan is to get the switch and then send Towns away so that a guard (who by definition isn't as good an offensive player as Towns) tries to make a play. That's poor thinking.

It was all on display last night. Their lack of spacing and shooting. No ball movement or player movement. Over reliance on isolations. It was no fun to watch.

Look, we knew the Rockets were going to win this series, and we all would have predicted four or five games, so it's not as if this is coming as a surprise or we should be particularly disappointed with the outcome. But so many of the frustrations of the season, of Thibs, of this team were on display last night. In particular, roster and playing time management remains a central theme that galls me and many others. It still feels like such a missed opportunity from draft night 2017 to now.

To wit: On the same night the 8th seeded Wolves get blown out, Ricky Rubio gets his first playoff win with the 5th seeded Utah Jazz. His 22-7-9 line and go-ahead three pointer are looking pretty good. How do you like them apples?

JM: I had a blast watching the Jazz beat OKC to tie up the series at 1-1. That's probably the best first round matchup. Rubio battled Westbrook all game and he even went 5-8 from deep! Ricard gave Russ everything he had and I was happy to see him win his first playoff game. Last night was a bit of poetic justice in this sense. Most people know how I feel about Rubio, but I said my goodbyes last summer. What's done is done. I'm genuinely happy he's living his best life in Utah and playing at a high level in the playoffs. So many people always questioned if that was even possible.

— John Meyer (@thedailywolf) January 29, 2018

Getting back to the Wolves, it's not like anybody really expected them to make this series interesting. But it's extremely frustrating how they set themselves up for all of the problems they've inevitably encountered. Rose getting wing minutes next to Crawford because Thibs doesn't have any other wings he trusts, not taking or making threes, having four centers on the roster, barely playing the bench. These issues were all easily avoidable. Have you lost faith in Thibs? If so, more as a POBO or coach? Or do you still believe in him? Maybe you're worried about both sides of the job?

EiM: One from column A and one from column B. Look, I was wrong about this. I was enthusiastic about the Thibs hiring, and although I had some reservations about giving him both jobs, I thought it was worth the risk. I admired the job he did in Chicago and thought there was a good chance he learned some things on his year off, both due to personal reflection and all of his travels around the league.

Nope. He's the same stubborn guy who doesn't appear to listen to anyone, and refuses to honestly assess himself and his performance, at least to the point of changing things. The answer is that it's both. I think the personnel side was such a letdown after the Butler trade. They failed to address the issues on the wing, which has been a gaping wound all season, and one that Rose does nothing to fill. I don't have to go over everything; we all know what happened.

On the coaching side, he hasn't brought the one thing we all expected: Consistently good defense. We've seen the offense falter in this series in part due to a lack of creativity and understanding who your best scorer is.

His playing time decisions have risked wearing out some guys while leaving potentially useful minutes on the bench, and it's difficult to understand his logic to substitutions much of the time.

More than anything, and perhaps this applies to both roles: He seems to have alienated people throughout the organization.

Which brings us to this: It seems fair to say from my seat that many of the players are not happy with Thibs for various reasons. Thibs is also not going to change. Those factors have led to what has been on the one hand the most successful season in recent Wolves history, but on the other hand what has looked for much of the time like a joyless endeavor. I thought this tweet summed things up nicely:

Tom Thibodeau needs to get a show on HGTV where he flips bright and open new homes into joyless, dark and inefficient scream huts.
— Nate in St. Paul ☭⚽ (@acceptedmystery) April 19, 2018

So, to finish up, I'm wondering where you think this organization is going? How many players, both currently here and potential acquisitions, want to be here? Can this group achieve more with Thibs at the helm, or will we need to see yet another change at the top in order to move forward, especially with Karl-Anthony Towns? What's your read?

JM: Where are they going? Who knows. There's a lot up in the air right now. I still think they have the talent to be a real force but until they become a deeper team, and the bench can be trusted to positively chip-in, they will likely exist in this same tier of teams. Good, with the potential to be very good, but certainly not elite. I don't know how each player is feeling. My sense is that guys like Tyus Jones, Nemanja Bjelica, and Gorgui Dieng are not at all satisfied with their roles. Why would they be? To steal a Thibs-ism, they've all shown More Than Enough to get consistent minutes. I'd be surprised if they weren't irritated.

I worry that meaningful free agents, capable of soaking up bench minutes, won't look at Minnesota as a good landing spot due to the heavy reliance on the starters and Thibs' complete reluctance to use his bench. An excellent sixth man is going to want 25-30 minutes, for example. Good role players are never going to be satisfied with 10 minutes. I think the way Thibs has managed the Wolves over the past two seasons makes this franchise much less of a desirable destination than it should be with two All-Star pillars.

This group can definitely achieve more with Thibs at the helm but he needs to adjust and adapt to the NBA in 2018. That means adding shooters. That means having wing depth. That means taking a real hard look at old schemes that may no longer work. He needs to change for the better. And that's the real concern. Can he? Will he? Is he too stuck in his old ways?

If the Wolves want to move forward in a positive direction under Thibodeau's leadership, he has to look in the mirror, take ownership over mistakes, take the legitimate criticisms to heart, and start fixing the problems.

If he doesn't, this organization will continue treading water in the same tier of Western Conference teams.

The Rockets showed why they were the best team in the league this year, taking a 2-0 lead on the Wolves with an easy win in Houston.

This was more like what most observers expected out of Wolves-Rockets. After a surprisingly close game one that ended in a three point Rockets win, this one was not close, as the home team exploded in the second quarter and cruised the rest of the way en route to a 102-82 win.

The Wolves were sharp to start this game, especially defensively, holding the Rockets to only 18 first quarter points, featuring some excellent pick-and-roll defense by Karl-Anthony Towns, Jeff Teague, and Jimmy Butler. It would have behooved them to take better advantage of it with their own offense, which struggled especially as the starters began rotating out. They turned it over uncharacteristically, and weren't moving the ball effectively.

This was exacerbated in the second quarter, when Tom Thibodeau went to the Jamal Crawford-Derrick Rose combination, which proved disastrous. The defense began to fall apart under a hail of Gerald Green three-pointers, but the offense completely collapsed, with Rose and Crawford combining to go 1-9 in the first half. The three small lineup simply does not work with enough (or any) consistency to make it worthwhile. Rose's forays to the basket were turned aside by the Rockets, while Crawford's shimmies got him nowhere and led to midrange clanks.

It was a nightmare quarter for the Wolves, who saw the Rockets team that blew them off the floor in the regular season. Even while giving up 37 in the quarter, I didn't think the defense was so terrible, it's just that a) the Rockets are really good at offense, and b) the Wolves own offense was terrible.

Meanwhile, it seems clear that Jimmy Butler is not right. He lacked his pre-injury verve, and other than a brief stretch in the third quarter, was disturbingly inactive offensively. I don't know if his knee is still bothering him or not, but something isn't right with him.

At any rate, as we knew would happen, the Rockets eventually started making some of their threes, which spells doom for the Wolves. It started with Gerald Green getting hot in the second quarter, and eventually they would make 16 to the Wolves 5. That's almost impossible to overcome.

The biggest Wolves story in this game, however, was Karl-Anthony Towns, who had his second ineffective game in a row in this series. Although I thought he played some admirable defense, and didn't allow Clint Capela free access to the rim while also providing judicious help on drives to the basket, his offense, after two hoops to start the game, disappeared. Five points on 2-9 from the field, with all of his attempts coming in the first half. As he began missing shots, he became more and more desperate, and threw up some unusually poor attempts as he tried to get himself going. It didn't work, and he sat down for good after his third quarter stint with only 24 minutes played.

He's now combined for 13 points in two games, which is just a very good quarter for him in the normal course of things. Whether he's tight, wanting to perform on a playoff stage, I don't know. But he isn't showing his usual smooth array, and it seems like it's getting in his head. This is the playoff experience we all thought they needed, and games like this from their most important player are the downside.

Overall, the offense was the main culprit tonight, as the final score indicates. The Rockets really turned up the heat defensively, and the Wolves lack of ball and player movement resulted in some truly ugly possessions. Their bailout style of offense sometimes works due to their talent, but with Butler struggling, Teague in foul trouble, and KAT absent, it wasn't going to work tonight.

The series heads to Minneapolis for the Wolves' first home playoff games since 2004, with game three on Saturday. Let's do a few notes:

Nobody stood out for the Wolves tonight, though I thought Andrew Wiggins gave a decent effort in the first half.

The Wolves got nothing off the bench until garbage time in the fourth quarter.

 James Harden shot 2-18, and the Rockets still blew the Wolves out.

Instead it was Chris Paul's night; he finished with 27 after struggling in game one.

The Wolves once again held the Rockets to a manageable total of 102, and the Rockets only shot 36.5% from the field. It was the offense that let them down.

Losing turnovers and rebounds turned a loss into a rout. The Wolves can barely keep up with the Rockets if they win those areas, if they lose them, they have no chance.

Don't be fooled by the apparent bench production in the box score. It was almost all in garbage time and meant nothing.

 https://www.canishoopus.com/2018/4/18/17255576/rockets-wolves-no-contest-harden-towns-nba-playoffs Eric in Madison 2018-04-18T17:00:01-05:00 2018-04-18T17:00:01-05:00 Wolves at Rockets: Game 2 Preview
The Timberwolves nearly pulled off an upset over the Rockets in Game 1. They get another chance tonight.

The Minnesota Timberwolves missed a rare opportunity that was there for the taking on Sunday night — stealing Game 1 as the 8 seed in the first round of the NBA playoffs.

The Timberwolves wound up on the wrong end of a 104-101 score when it was all said and done. Other than James Harden and Clint Capela in the first half, the entire Houston Rockets team was practically begging the Wolves to win that game.

Though the result wasn't ideal for the Wolves, it did provide a clearer picture of what is necessary to beat the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference. Houston certainly didn't play its best game of the season and that has been acknowledged. However, the Wolves didn't exactly light it up themselves.

Karl-Anthony Towns' production was far more limited than many desire. He only attempted nine shots in the game, hitting three and scoring eight points. Whether Towns' lack of involvement was due to Tom Thibodeau's game plan, his teammates for ignoring him or his own doing, Minnesota could benefit significantly from a run-of-the-mill KAT performance in Game 2.

As Charles Barkley alluded to during the halftime show on the TNT broadcast Sunday night, Houston's defense is based on switching most screens. Minnesota's pick-and-roll heavy offense forced Houston into switches often, which meant a guard defending Towns and a big defending a ball handler such as Jeff Teague, Jamal Crawford or Derrick Rose. Instead of posting Towns up against a smaller player, the Wolves would clear out the lane to allow the guard to isolate against a big man. It's not that this is a terrible idea, but one would assume feeding Towns the ball inside and letting him draw double teams or attack a smaller player would result in ample scoring opportunities for the Timberwolves.

Additionally, Jimmy Butler's offensive performance Sunday night was not up to par with his typical display. He struggled to find a rhythm and remained Thibodeau's go-to option in crunch time. If the Wolves can get the usual production from Towns and Butler in Game 2, they can stay competitive with the Rockets, especially if they shoot from outside the way they did in Game 1 (which won't happen).

As John Meyer touched on in his 10 quick thoughts, flipping the usage rates from Game 1 is a good idea. Rose (30.8%), Gorgui Dieng (26.8%) and Teague (26.4%) led the Wolves in usage rate Sunday night while Butler (15.6%) and Towns (14.2%) were sixth and seventh, respectively, out of the Wolves players who saw the court.

Defensively, the Wolves appeared to be contesting Houston's three-pointers well for the most part in Game 1. Several of Harden's makes from outside were contested and he was the only Rocket who shot well (7-for-12) from three. The rest of the team went 3-for-25. It's tough to imagine a scenario where the team as a whole shoots that poorly again.

Minnesota can absolutely keep up with these Rockets, but it will take a defensive effort similar to Sunday night and much better execution on offense.

A win tonight would suddenly put the Wolves in the driver's seat the series would move to Target Center for Games 3 and 4. Now wouldn't that be something?
