(Question: Who would have been the biggest help tonight...and why)

Jordan, our team looked lost, Jordan would have clogged up the lanes and gotten high % shots helping our pathetic FG %. Our coach forced this team into a zone that wasn't working the whole time, so all the Blazers had to do was pass around the perimeter and hit up Jones or any open player that can nail a jumper.

BOOO ADD JORDAN!...I VOTE MAYO FIRST, JORDAN SECOND *YAY CAPS!*

Biggest problem

--zone defense, stupid against a shooting team
--lack of consistant outside scorer
--gave up too many offensive rebounds (product of zone?)
--according to yahoo.com we had 9 dimes as a team


Positives
--Al Jefferson

Even the biggest Jordan lovers know he will not be able to contribute anything for at least a year or 2.

Randy Foye?

The Wolves board has had more threads about the draft over the last month than the draft board.

I agree, but it is an interesting thing to look at how we lost and who would have helped.

I think Foye is the clear answer, but we will have him back regardless.

Divine Intervention.

I tried

You guys need a couple vets (not of the Buffet table kind) and Randy Foye stat. I still like your team alot and don't understand how they only have 4 wins. Foye/McCants/Brewer if he bulks up/Jefferson/Whoever.. or get a elite PG prospect make McCants a sixth man. I feel for you guys the Blazers were absolutely horrible but you are in a great position for down the line. It is just grueling getting there..

Can Jim Peterson be our coach?

Try harder.

Spot on. They needed a perimeter scorer and defender. The only thing I'll say against Al is that he needs to pass out on the double team. But do you really blame him?

Jim's voice is killing me.

New Coach. I know it's tough with a young team and injuries, but as was said in the broadcast the effort is there, the execution is not. That lies on Wittman.

This isn't a .500 caliber team, but better coaching would have them considerably better. Anyone think with a better coach we couldn't be at least 10-21 now?

I am not sure of the record, what I do know is a zone defense against a shooting team is not a smart idea and yet we still did that. Which also hurt our rebounding.

What do you guys think Wittman is going to say in the post game?

Under Sichting they're 1-1, the loss being by 1 point on a buzzer beater, against two teams way over .500.

I think I meant to pick Mayo. Still don't know a lot about Mayo and Rose, but isn't Mayo considered a better defender?

Wittman scratching his head. He is ALWAYS scratching his head and seemingly clueless on what is wrong. I think we need to be worried about a coach that never has any answers and seems dumbfounded by his teams play/ Isn't it his job to figure this out?
