without jamaal crawford to screw us on half court buzzer beaters, wolves just might have a chance!

Also no griffin. He's pretty good at basketball, so that could also help.

Still most likely a loss though. ho hum.

No Griffin. No Crawford.
A good coach would say we will exploit Martin vs Collison matchup all game, but no Adelman ...
#Twolves coach Rick Adelman said Clippers backcourt of Chris Paul and Darren Collison provides chance for Ricky Rubio and JJ Barea together.

I'll never understand Adelman's lineup how the opposition lines up tactic.

when was the last time love played with energy? I hear the clips commentators talking about it, and it reminds me of the last time we played against the clips. Why hasn't love done that more? really bullied smaller defenders?

Like you watch the highlights of that game and you see love really go at blake or whoever in an attempt to get a closer shot. He doesn't really do that anymore. he pulls up for his hook much earlier now.

All their shots are wide wide wide open.

He seems to have checked out mentally after the Phoenix game. Really discouraging.

We look like a better team with Dieng in.

While you are right, he has checked out at this point, that clippers game was in December.

He's not extremely aggressive on offense until the end of close games, and we've all seen how that turns out. I just think that he could have developed his game in that regard. His midpost/post game. He should be more aggressive imo.

Rivers hyping Adelman. Probably wants him to stick around so he can destroy us for the foreseeable future.

Love has been broken now that he knows we aren't doing crap again this season.

Jeez, I've never seen a whole team that didn't want to shoot the ball before. Unbelievable sequence at the end there.

Its hard not to blame him. It has to take a huge emotional toll over time.

The inability to finish on this team is absurd.
