Forcing the triangle onto players not suited is bad enough, but man, his rotations are a failure of cyclopean proportions. In a supposedly "developmental year", bums like Sasha Pavlovic, who should never play in the NBA again, much less on the TWolves, get playing time that should be going to someone like Wayne Ellington. This is only one of myriad examples.
Then you have the case of Kevin Love, one of the few players on my team that should do well in the triangle. Averaging 15/13/3 as a starter, Rambis decides he needs to go the the bench to open up playing time for first Ryan Holllins (belch), then Darko. Darko! As the final months of the season progress, fewer and fewer minutes are given to Love (including many sub-20 minute nights), and unsurprisingly the amount of wins decreases with his minutes. At first I thought it was just a tank job, but the madness continued well past the point it was necessary to secure the second worst record.
It was highlighted last night in our game vs Detroit, who were sitting all their best players in an obvious attempt to lose. Love has 9 pts and 10 boards in 18 minutes, then sits the whole 4th quarter, and watches from the bench as the Wolves collapse and blow their lead in a loss. All the while the Piston commentators were mocking us, saying how lucky they were that Kevin was sidelined. Embarassing. Rambis after the game says Love showed "a lack of effort". How a player can be on pace for 18 & 20 without exerting himself is a silly enough idea, but contrast it to Al Jefferson's season long lack of effort while always getting big minutes, and it becomes a sick joke.
Now Love is openly disgruntled, and I wouldn't be surprised to see his agent issue a trade demand in the near future. If this happens I can only hope he lands with a quality organization like yours.
Thank you Kurt Rambis, crappiest head coach in the league!
