Re: Twolves @ Portland
you have to try shabazz, a guy who could possibly score off the bench, at some point, right?

Re: Twolves @ Portland
We gave up 120 last night and 115 tonight, really hard to expect to win if you let up that many points, that's a ridiculous amount.
Bench play was as bad as it gets tonight, dont think we played to our strengths and their weaknesses enough, took quite a few poor shots and let up a ton of easy points.
1 out of the last 2 games is acceptable, but we could have played better tonight.

the +/- disparity between our starters and our bench this game is ridiculous

This town deserves a better class of bench player.

Re: Twolves @ Portland
I know that tomorrow, folks are going to get after klove hard for his ho hum night (4-12 yikes) but this loss is entirely on the bench. We were playing them even and then some for the 1st and third quarters.
The second quarter was a blood-bath.
and the 4th didn't stabalize until klove came back in.
It does disturb me a little, this shooting slump klove's going through. He'll most likely shake it off after the all star break though.
Onwards and upwards.

Re: Twolves @ Portland
Ugh hate to lose this one against the blazers. Good effort though. The Blazers offense relies a lot on mid range jumpers, one of the worst ways of attacking but they make them, fair enough.
Barea, Cunninham, and Bud not being in shape where the main problems tonight IMO. Also, Pek suffers against taller Cs.
If Bazz does not get playing time, not even in garbage minutes, that must be for a reason. That Adelman doesn´t play rookies BS is just that, BS. Adelman plays rookies when they deserve it. You do not have to go far in the past to see the cases of Rubio, Shved, Buddinger in Houston... etc. If he doesn´t play I guess it is probably his fault. The coaching staff see him every day. They sure know more than us.
And now, I don´t know what to do. 6:30 in Spain. Time to go to bed? wake up? I''m confused

Jamal Crawford goes off for 37 for the Clippers. Must be nice to have fire power coming off the pine. One bench guy outscore our bench three times over. Ridiculous.

I pray that Flip is looking for a way to upgrade our bench.

What is the difference between Minnesota compare to Phoenix and Portland ?
They got good coachs.
Is Adelman the only coach in the nba that doesn´t adjust his rotacions ?

Yeah as a Blazer fan I was confused. probably cause he played Martin to help offset the bench and get some pts, can't play Martin and shved.

Why can't Adelman try new things with the bench? Put Dieng for DC! Dieng has a jumper and can contest shots at the rim. Excellent rim protector. Dante only bricks jumpers.
JJ was terrible, put Price or something. Shved at point and put LMRAM who can defend people.
I mean Shved-Budinger-LMRAM-Dieng-Turiaf can't score but they will not be outscored by much.

Well, I was expecting a loss here. So not mad at all, just thinking that Rubio and Love with sprained ankles and on a back to back put far more energy than the entire bench.

No kidding, at this point the bench should be considered a lost cause and just put the best defensive players we have out there, pass the ball around, eat clock, play defense.
