Twolves @ Portland

[AQuintus]

Just remember, everyone hated this team a page back

A lineup of all backups = fans angry

A lineup of starters = fans happy

hmmm

[Klomp]

Between the crappy feed, crappy commentary, and crappy energy, I think I might skip the second half.

It worked out last night!

[Mattya]

Not watching but the box score for the bench looks pathetic yet again.

So we should play our starters 48 minutes each?

[Calinks]

Whatever Shabazz has to do to get a 20 minute audition for playing time on this team, I hope he does it soon.

[Jukeness]

I do like that we responded well to their run, something it seems like we never do. Need to get Pek more involved, and the Blazers have probably got about 30 points on easy baskets that we are letting up. We'll see how this half plays out, but judging from the first half, I might be getting frustrated a lot.

[Klomp]

The Wizards are the Wolves of the East: can't get over .500

[Ashwinz.]

When he puts Shved in the game, Shved needs to have a killer instinct and just drive over and over again. He's been on a roll lately doing that.

When Turiaff comes in, he puts it all out on the court. His throwdown was a great sight to see.

Cunningham - no comment

Barea - no comment

Bud - Primarily because he has lethal range, but not comfortable it felt like.

All together - we have a hot mess that doesn't work well together. We have no athleticism, and no one to really help Barea play hero ball. I have no answers for why Rick continues to do this, other than having players play with each other together and building some synergy, and teamwork that he sees in practice. At this point, I just want to gut D-Ham and Barea from this team, give more minutes to both Dieng and Bazzy, and see what we can optimistically get by the trade deadline. Why barea has such a long leash pisses me off...when we had Beasely, Williams, Randolph - amongst others miss one Defensive assignment and get yanked. As an aside, I wish we kept Sad Dog Randolph. He's playing well for Denver as of late. We have no front court Athleticism.

Or, you know, Adelman could do what every other coach does and adjust his rotations to keep one or two starters on the court at all times.

Full line changes are a hockey only thing for a reason.

Not every coach does that. Its not as common as Wolves fans who want to rip on Adelman think.

[Merc_Porto]

Mbah a Moute doesn´t count right now ?

DC playing like that. Barea the same as ever.
And Shabazz, Dieng and AJ Price not getting minutes.

Adelman doesn´t deserve this team.

[Calinks]

Our bench is still a problem. I think it will be one all season.

[Ashwinz.]

Love! Sexy footwork!

[The J Rocka]

Our bench is still a problem. I think it will be one all season.

It will continue to be a problem until a trade is made or until those player's contracts expire.

We've now gone half a season with this team, and more often than not it doesn't work, so why does he keep doing it? Is he expecting something new to happen? Isn't this the definition of insanity, doing the same thing over and over expecting something different to happen???

[Jukeness]

Get em Pek!

[Cyborg21]

[Ashwinz.]
