Adelman vs. McHale, Part II (7:00 pm)

[prefuse73]

c'mon Beasley... keep this up

I'm starting to think that we will not have only 66 games this year.

Which is our balance since Rubio starting?

You mean record? Believe its 7-4

Luke is a better PG than JJ. Barea just may fit this team better since the offense revolves around the high pick and roll and the drive and dish and neither of those are Ridnour's strong suit.

I don't think you can call Ridnour a point guard anymore. The offence bogs down so much when he's in that it's clear he's more of a shooting guard in a point guard's body.

Although I haven't seen enough of Barea here to know whether he's better or not, so you may be right.

Luke is a perfect point guard if you have a ball-dominant wing (LeBron, Kobe, Wade).

Luke is a perfect point guard if you have a ball-dominant wing (LeBron, Kobe, Wade).

Especially the Heat. Since the Heat play such good defense they cover all of Luke's weakness. He really could just spot up for Jumpers, like Kerr and Paxson on the Bulls. He would also be good in LA since his sweet spots are the open spots created by the classic triangle. Don't know how efficient they are at running it this year.

Seeing how Mike Brown is the coach now, I'm not sure if they are running it.

Really nice win, Houston is always a really tough team to beat.
Incredible game by Beasley, he also was moving the ball... a dream come true .
Great game by Ricky also... let's keep this rolling!
AAAARRRRROOOOOOOO!

I have watched them a couple times this year and saw them running it, but I just can't judge there success with it based off those games and no statistcs. I have heard their offense has been pretty bad this year, I don't know if it's philosophy change in coaching or LO trade or both.

Last year we didn't get our 10th win until 40 games into the season.

Beas ... nice game ... we've been down this road, so Beas proving he can be consistent is still the key. Lets hope. Looking to move DW after a single performance defines Beas' historical track record. I will agree that it would be awesome if Beas' got it right and we traded DW for good value, but waaaay too early in my book.

Love ... continues to get it done. Period. Gotta give the guy his due (outside the $) for the off-season commitment.

Rube ... nice game ... tired of whiners already mentioning his shooting. He is what he is right now (up and down) and lots of room to improve for sure, but the shooting inconsistencies are all on the rest of the team short-term - it's their jobs specifically. He's doing his by getting them great looks and their job is to finish. He helped put max money in Kloves pocket and with some luck he'll do the same for Beas.

Martell is holding up better than I thought ... he and Ellington are adequate @ SG short-term.

JJ vs. Luke ... JJ has the edge as he is a proven winner/gamer and can get to the basket. Luke's value will drops if/when our shooters start performing consistently. If Webster holds up, he and Ellington are better defenders and will start taking his minutes once JJ comes back into rotation healthy.

Wow, I still didn't watch the game, I will watch it tonight at LP. It's awesome see that Beasley is giving a pass ahead. With Beas and Peko Redux, this looks good.

So we end the month of January 10-8. Not too bad. I can only hope February draws better results though.

I get the feeling the wolves could win the championship, and you'd say 'Not to bad, still a long way to catch the Lakers though.'

We won 15 games last year. Winning 10 games during the first full month of the season is something to celebrate! Especially since the team is obviously getting better each and every week. And lets not forget our 7-4 record since Rubio has been starting.
