suck is hardly the word when you're without 3 starters and 1 bench guy with lots of minutes against full might of the other team.

I know that, but that doesn't make it less frustrating. It's the Bucks.

It's tough to win with loose handle and bad shots offensively and bailing out the other team with fouls defensively.

If anyone ever doubted the need for a point guard (not even a good one) in this league, just look at the wolves. Its crazy how many injuries you have dealt with.

I also think this idea of Lavine as a point guard needs to stop. Flip needs to go sign someone to play some minutes with all the point guards injured.

It is quite amazing how much Rubio has an impact on this team as a whole.

I'm mean, wee all saw in the pre-season that GRIII has a great handling, a lot of us was asking if he could play or not the point ?

And you throw Brewer over there ? Cmon Flip. Is tanking mode right ?

Brewer is worst than Wiggins handling the ball, and that says everything.

I have no idea why GR3 hasn't gotten anything but garbage time. He can't be worse than Bud has been and can hit 3's.

So uhm yea, when are we trading Corey?

This has been the most annoying Wolves' quarter in the season. I've lost all my nerves. So many dumb shots and turnovers.

Sad when wolves games just wind up pissing you off. Can't even take a moral victory out of this one, felt like we just pissed the game away in the 4th. No hustle out there.

The whole team shat their trousers...

...and the Wild were smote 4-nil by the bloody kings.

Its easy to throw Brewer under the bus, but its Flip that made him play PG - but really, LaVine at PG for 48 mins would have been worse. At least Brew provided some scoring, although he should stop shooting threes.

Brewer lost us that game, both offensively and defensively, in the 4th quarter

Merc_Porto · Post #154 » by **Merc_Porto** » Thu Nov 27, 2014 3:47 am

Isn´t better to trade C.Brewer for a 2ºround pick or a expiring PG when he has some value for something that we really need ?

Forget this game. But...
Again, Bazz can do the same thing that Brewer or better with the same minutes.

It´s not like we are going to win a lot of games because of Brewer, we have too many wing players.

And i agree with you Klomp, cutting barea was a mistake.

Edit: And by the way, I´m Not an American so i don´t celebrate this holiday (i dont even know what are you guys celetrating exactly)...but happy thanksgiving. I´M Out.

I can't be upset with Brewer not excelling in a position he had no business playing in the first place. It's this damn team and its phenomenally poor luck. Of course Mo gets sick with Strep throat and another illness when he's the only PG. It's like everything bad that can happen does for these guys. Just exhausting to go through this crap year after year game after game. Fans of perpetual good teams don't know how damn good they got it.

You got to be kidding me? Brew lost us that game? I think it was the fact that we are down 3 starters, we have no true PG available and we had players out there that couldn't hit a shot. Blaming Brewer entirely for this loss is wrong.

urinesane · Post #157 » by **urinesane** » Thu Nov 27, 2014 3:58 am

Yeah the expectations of players playing out of position due to injury is getting ridiculous around here.

Context is important.

Did you watch him during that last quarter? The defensive gambles, the out of control drives, those were what led to the lead ballooning as big as it did. Even JimPete noticed it.

Brewer gets way too much blame on this board. The problem is that he is one of many out of control players at the same time, with Thad, LaVine and sometimes Shabazz and Wiggins adding to the lunacy. Brewer is out of control a lot, but sometimes it works out really well, sometimes it does not. When he is forced to play 37 minutes mostly as a PG with a team full of young players who just recently started playing together, of course it's gonna be ugly. That's not his role.

Rubio is our only great ballhandler and it has hurt us the last couple of years. I have hopes for LaVine, who had a a sweet little spin to free open Bud for a missed open 3, but LaVine still has to learn how to cool down while handling the ball as well.

Yeah I watched the entire game, and I think it was a combination of turnovers, missed FGs, missed FTs, personal fouls by all players on the court that lead to the loss.

Wiggins was 4-14 and had 6 TOs - was he the sole reason we lost?

Thad was 1-10 with 3 TOs - was he the sole reason?

Wolves missed 13 FREE THROWS - theres a big reason why we lost. Blaming one guy is just stupid.
