Way to take the worst possible shot, Luke.

There is a reason Terry Porter is not a head coach.
If he could use good rotations and make good adjustments, he would have gotten another head coach stint after his Milwakee run.
But why the f*ck will he go with Ridnour at the end of the 4th just because they play with Pargo and Teaque?
Put Gelabale on Pargo, he is quicker than Ridnour and long enough to challenge his shots.
This should be the lineup down the stretch:
Rubio
Gelabale
AK47
DW
DC
Luke Ridnour should only see 2nd quarter minutes. Barea should be limited to 15 a game max. once Rubio is healthier again. Hell, I would rather have Kirilenko playing the 2 down the stretch than having Ridnour out there.

Don't take the wide open 3 Luke. Just take the harder shot

We need to put a real 2 next to rubio. One who shoots when he passes the damn ball.

It's like instead of an escape dribble he did a trap dribble. What the hell son.

Story of the Wolves season in this game - start off really strong and get a big lead in the 1st half, and then gas out and lose in the 2nd half.

TOs, bad shots, defensive lapses in the 4th.
Those things happen when a team is short-handed and without a coach. Ah well.

That last possesion was so pathetic it seriously made me laugh out loud, I seriously couldnt stop laughing it was so stupid.
I definately put blame on Porter, no shots fom Gelabale in the 2nd half, no Rubio until way too late, way too much Ridnour, wayyyyyyyyyyy too much Stiemsma.

If the Hawks had Ridnour and the Timberwolves had Pargo the game would've been a blowout in our favour.

This L goes on Porter. Overplaying the starters, when they suck all night. They bust our 18 pt lead. Just stupid.

We were winning before Rubio enter...so this makes no sense.

I'm not too upset. I've already come to terms about where this season is headed.

With Pekovic and Shved back we might have a chance to ball at .500 for the rest of the year. I doubt that's enough to reach the playoffs, though.
