You can't cherry pick one persons comment and then say "everyone" hated the team ;)

In defense though, I do hate Rick's use of this team at times.

Even though Pek is struggling, we should definitely go inside to him more, Robin Lopez is a soft pussy, he'll get destroyed.

My God, would these announcers and fans come off their high horses please!? We're not gonna win, cause Lillard is going to start scoring, but God damn a win here would be magnificent.

No Aldridge, we should go inside almost every time.

I wish we would abuse match ups more. The Blazers cannot stop the Wolves down low, we should be trying to dominate the paint.

K-Mart in a groove. Thank god he injured his finger?!?!

We're playing as expected - Gased, unreliable bench production, no drives on their lousy Defensive schemes to break them apart.

Outside of those back-2-back Breakaway dunks by Brewer - we haven't had many easy shots this game.

Hardly, we will see a lot of no-calls on Pek the moment we do that. But then again Aldridge is in foul trouble a bit.

I wish our team was more athletic and played up and down.

Not surprising. they look about as I expected - tired and limping.

Also, I can't stand the color guy on this broadcast. Want to strangle something now. Between the crappy feed, crappy commentary, and crappy energy, I think I might skip the second half.

Pek getting no calls doesnt mean anything. You cant let that effect whether or not you want to go down low with him.

Yeah. I would like to see Pek more involved, but I think they´re really boxing out the paint. K-Mart does look real good tonight. My biggest complaint is Adelman´s usage of the bench. Why does he put all the bench players onto the court at the same time?
