Of course on the general board, that translates to "Love is a stat padder" :-?

Nice game tonight fellas. I really like watching this T-Wolves team, I think they're finally headed toward some good things.

I really hate that we had to unleash Boris Abdul-Jabbar on you in the first half but that's how it goes sometimes. :lol:

Hopefully you guys get a ego boost and go on a tear.

Against a team with 3 wins and when defense is not needed perhaps.
But if you have to defend they are both bat at it.
And they are small, very small.

yeah i was a little dam perplexed that adelman didn't get them out quite a bit sooner...didn't have a lot of trust in the bench....really need him to start sparing these guys a bit and showing some trust in the 2nd unit.

Called it 8-)

Too bad I fell asleep before the game started. I had had a bad feeling about it which fortunately didn't turn out to happen but still. Glad the Pups won again and this even without a great performance by the Ricardo Rubio.

great game by Love, he was the only one scoring early in the game. At the 2nd half we started making shots and we took advantage of it. Our defense was awful again tonight, this issue has to be fixed soon if we want to win some games. I like that Ricky played little minutes tbh, he is tired and need some rest.
Barea was ok, but i don't like him at all, he is still doing crazy things.
Beasley is in his way out isn't it? He is playing less minutes every game, Adelman dont trust him at all.
Williams defense is a concern, someone has to tell this guy that defence is really important for team success.
I love when Ridnour makes his shots, is really important for the Wolves. To me, he has to be the backup pg and Barea has to be traded, let's see what happends these days with the trades.

"I thought we did OK against Kevin because he shot a lot of outside shots," Bobcats coach Paul Silas said. "But the other kid. Pep-a-vich his name is? Whatever, he just killed us down there."

:lol:
How does he expect to win if he doesn't even know who is he playing against ? :roll:

Rubio doesn't have anymore the same freedom to play. Adelman is trying to have Ricky more under control and this is undermining his confidence like his last year in Barcelona.
Note that now, he has the ball in his hands half of the time in each possession, he doesn't dribble anymore until he found the assist and he stops shooting if the first balls don't go in.
I hope this trend is not going to accentuate.

Or know that Kevin Love actually has an outside game. That whole quote is full of wow.

My pizza delivery to him at halftime did the trick. 8-)

You guys have some good building blocks in Kemba and Bismack and Henderson. You won't be down long.

Agreed. 42 for Love and 9 for DWill seems a little weird once it became a blow out. Did Love play the entire 2nd half until the last 2 minutes? Seemed like it.

Do YOU have trust in the second unit? :-?

Wow, yeah. That's why I call him Paw Paw Silas. Really starting to look forward to another coach next year. :roll:

Thanks, I think we'll be competitive after an earnest tanking season next year, some lottery luck, and maybe a decent FA signing or two.

Hopefully Jordan lets his front office do the work. We here know the problems that come when owners get involved and make terrible decisions.

OJ Mayo is one of the best defenders in the league, hes a two way player and hes a great passer and playmaker.
