And guess what, he will be reuniting with his former teammates in Chicago Bulls, Taj Gibson and Jimmy Butler. And the one who handles him during his best career season back in 2010-11 where he was named as the youngest MVP will be his coach again, Coach Tom Thibodeau.

Most of their players now are former Chicago Bulls even the current Head Coach. I wouldn’t be surprised if Joakim Noah joins the Minnesota Timberwolves. LOL Anyway, Any news about Joakim Noah?

Honestly it is possible. Minnesota Timberwolves is interested on Joakim Noah too but only as a free agent on a minimum deal. Today is the deadline for the future of Joakim Noah on the Knicks. He must reached the buyout for him to leave the Knicks. We will wait for the progress until tomorrow.


Joakim Noah is a big problem in his current team right now, this guy has an attitude too and the fact that he is prone to injury, I don't think
he is beat suited with the Twolves which are working hard to be in the playoff race and to win the playoffs.
They have big man already and can shoot as well, I think they need more shooters from the outside so they will be a real threat.

He is frustrated because there isn't enough playing time he receiving on New York Knicks via Jeff Hornacek. Back in his Chicago Bulls days, he is not like that so I can't called it as an attitude problem.

Minnesota Timberwolves already have a big man that is young and can be an asset to the team in the future so they literally they doesn't need Noah. But Coach Tom Thibodeau really loves his former Chicago Bulls so I think that is one of the reason why they want a piece of Noah but only for free agent offer.

Finally after the long wait of Derrick Rose die hard fans, he is now officialy signed with the Minnesota Timberwolves. He is basically have no team since he was traded by the Cleveland Cavaliers. Honestly, Rose didn't expecting anymore some highlights on his career. He only wants to show people that he can still play despite of his unfortunate experienced in his career.

And guess what, he will be reuniting with his former teammates in Chicago Bulls, Taj Gibson and Jimmy Butler. And the one who handles him during his best career season back in 2010-11 where he was named as the youngest MVP will be his coach again, Coach Tom Thibodeau.

People don't have to tell Rose that he needs to hang his jersey now or something else. It's hard for him to accept that in early age and let's us allow him to play until he decided to hang his jersey.
Good for him, we all knew that he can't be the same old guy back when he still the MVP, but this guy have the guts to still play inside the court, maybe he can show the fans some entertaining moves, I just wish he won't get injured again and stay healthy for the rest of the season, Minnesota might be a home for them as they will reunite again and play together just like what they did back from Chicago.

I hope that reuniting with his former coach will someone put some spark with him. He has his best career with the Bulls and reuniting with his former coach will like a homecoming for him. Well we all know what happened to him after that unfaithful incident that jeopardize his career. Yeah, I think he knows when to hang up his jersey. Maybe he still feels that he still has something within him. He can still contribute and he should improved his shooting to be able to add something to the Wolves.

-While in Eastern Conference almost everything is decided:
1)Toronto 2)Boston 3)Cleveland with Washington, Philadelphia, Indiana, Miami and Milwaukee practically already qualified for Playoffs

-In Western Conference instead there is great competition:
Houston and Golden State are fighting for the first place, and then there are 6 teams fighting for the last 4 places useful for the Playoffs: San Antonio,Oklahoma,Utah Jazz,Los Angeles Clippers, Minnesota,Denver.
For me it will come in first position Golden State, and will qualify for the Playoffs: San Antonio,Utah Jazz,Los Angeles Clippers and Oklahoma


Yeah, true. It is only 5 wins between 4th Trail Blaizers and 10th Nuggets. I think Nuggets will end up out of playoff this year. And maybe Timberwolves, since they might be having problems with Butler's absence. Although,  I saw Spurs will have hard schedule till the end, but I think they will be able to shake it off with their experience. It would be very interesting to watch the rest of this season, and I am looking forward to it!

While on the East situation looks clear. For me, the most interesting team there is Philadelphia 76ers.  They look pretty good this year and they signed experienced players such as Belinelli and Ilyasova  who had had his best time exactly in this team recently.

It would be very interesting to watch the rest of this season, and I am looking forward to it!

There are only 17 games left to end this NBA regular season. For me, Upon reviewing the Western Conference standing I believe that even the Spurs is in 5th seed they will not make the playoffs and also with the LA Clippers which is the 8th place right now.

This is my prediction for Western Playoff Match-Up:
1. Rockets
2. Warriors
3. Timberwolves
4. Jazz
5. Pelicans
6. Blazers
7. Thunder &
8. Nuggets

Reason why Spurs and Clippers will not make Playoffs: Check their remaining games.

Well i don't expect much from the clippers now anyways and la would probably be better represented now by the lakers. But i'm not counting the spurs off just yet. Pop knows hus team's situation and if there's a team to pull out of a tight situation, its the spurs

Good pick, but there might be some few changes along specially in the low seeded. Also I would have to agree with @gabmen that San Antonio can still make it to the playoffs. Clippers is done this year. Losing their key players (CP3 and Blake). Actually I got a hunch that Timberwolves will not make it to the playoffs because of Jimmy Butler's injury or they position might slide a bit.

Oh yeah the remaining games of Spurs is with your predicted teams that will remain for the play offs. This is exciting.

I'm tuning in with Raptors and Bucks for this conference, I hope these two will make it. But let's see if Cavaliers will recover everything they've lost during early this season.

For the Rockets to have a better chance against the warriors, they need to take that number 1 spot so in the event that they will
face the western finals they will have a home court advantage. We know that the warriors is the team to beat because they are the defending
champion but when the Rockets can do it, Harden and Paul might have their first NBA Championship together.

I just viewed the current West Standings and that is when I know the Minnesota Timberwolves are in a tight position as 10 teams will be battling for the 3rd - 8th spot in the Playoffs. Making the path of the Timberwolves harder is Jimmy Butler's return won't be until the playoff rounds which is doubtful as of the moment. Currently they are sitting on the 6th seed and their next game would be on Friday against the Boston Celtics I am hoping that they will have a firm grip on any of the west playoff spots as I really need to see them end the playoff drought.
I can say that the Minnesota Timberwolves can easily secure a spot at the western conference but if Jimmy Butler won't return until the playoffs begin, i doubt if they will survive the first round.

Is Jimmy's injury that worst? I read that it needed a just a month to heal so I guess they still can buy more time and hope that they can make the playoff (which I do think they will).

However, I think that they will survived the first round. They have invested so much and the team will really exert all effort to get past the first round and then wait till Jimmy returns to the lineup.
Is there any info when Jimmy Butler will be back? It would be pity if he missed playoff now when Minesota started to look pretty good. Tomorrow they have interesting match against the Celtics. Too bad Butler will not play there, it would be hard to predict winner if he was. In this situation I would give mild role of favourite to Boston.

Well the initial report says is a meniscus and is expected to undergo a surgery. So it's really hard to say when he can return as players react differently to a surgery. So probably around 4-6 weeks to fully heal. Its really sad though that he got injured when T'wolves are enjoying one of its best season and its crunch time as we are approaching the playoffs. And now they are in a game that they needed to show their true character without Jimmy, (Celtics, Golden State and Houston Rockets). So it will be very interesting to watch and see how it goes for them.
The expected return of Jimmy Butler isn't until playoffs but the problem I see for the Timberwolves is if they can go to the playoffs in the first place. All of them are on a tight spot on who will secure a playoff seed in the western conference and with the remaining games for the Timberwolves being a tough one, me as fan cannot breathe easily as every game will count. The Blazers are on a winning streak, Pelicans are looking great, and Spurs looks like an elite team.

What a game for  the King today, carrying his team in final minutes, I'm really impress how he really take the lead, 9 points straight and he really create
for his team to win, adjusting too to defend Jokić who also playing well, the 2nd half runs was full of excitement Denver is too good to compete with but
still stars will shine when the team needed them most.
It was a good game and finally the Cavaliers took their revenge against the Nuggets.
I hope they can use this momentum to even work harder and develop the chemistry so even they lack players, they can still compete with great teams.

Houston Rockets still on their winning streak with their 17th straight win against the streak killers the Milwaukee Bucks.
And I really thought the bucks were going to beat them since they were at home and they were the same team that killed off the Golden State Warriors winning streak last season at 24-0.
If any team were to end their run it was them.

I was watching the Indiana Pacers and they just got their asses handed to them with a 20 point loss at home. And the Utah Jazz have won their 9th straight road win.
That is another record that is very tough to achieve in the NBA league. But they managed to pull it off against a Pacers team who were 5-2 in their last 7 games before going into this one.
1-19 for three pointers does not help your cause one bit.

The streak is alive, people are in basketball now are watching the Rockets closely, what an achievement they have right now.
I am liking them to beat the warriors in the coming playoffs, hopefully it will happen so I can watch maybe a Rockets vs Cavaliers or against the Celtics
which I think a good team as well.
