Bummer!

Yes, Thank You, put the loss and Love's missed jumper at the buzzer totally on the Atlanta ORGANIST...MINDLESSLY REPETATIVELY REPEATING OVER AND OVER....DAH TA DUH... DAH TA DUH... DAH TA DUH... DAH TA DUH...

starting both Rid and Rubio is a mistake. We are 10 players deep on a short but bullet train paced season. We don't have a 3rd PG with Berea out... the team fell apart at about the 30 minute mark. Darko also looked like a cardboard cut out. Let Pekovich start, or play Randolph at the 5. If Berea and Beasley are hurt still for the next game, Williams needs to start at the 3, and Johnson at the 2 just so we can keep the ball handlers from wearing down. PS... Kevin Love... you can pass the ball you aren't Beasley!

Horrible call agains Love on the obvious Offensive Charge. The refs gave the Hawks the game on that play. For the Wolves, I hope they can work on a successful last second shot. This is the 4th one they have not made this year. Will be glad when they start popping those in. I think Rubio was ready to drop it in but Love did not give it back. SLAM-MAN has spoken.

If we had a healthy roster and not only 10 players I wonder if we'd be .500 or better right now?

For all Beasley haters I thought I would point out that Love took 26 shots tonight but I guess it just depends who is taking the shots.And of course when he had a chance to win the game with a three he missed.Another fine night for Rubio 18/12! This team needs Beasley.Johnson 2/8 and Williams 1/4 and he only played 7 minutes.

We should have won this game. That Atlanta run from about the 3 min mark in the 3rd to around 6 min in to the 4th killed our chances. Despite the fact that Love and Rubio were the culprits of most of the miscues during that stretch, I don't put the blame on either of their shoulders or the coach. Plain and simple, the role players need to step. We as fans can't and the players/coaches can't expect Love and Rubio to be perfect if they are literally having to play 2 against 5 on the offensive end. Those two were being double and triple teamed ALOT in the 2nd half. Someone else has to put themselves in the position to receive the ball outside of those double teams and more importantly they need to knock down the open shot! Adelman, again, had to play Love the entire 2nd half because he was getting so little production from the frontcourt. Kevin was visibly tired towards the end of 1st, so I'm sure he was running on E in the 4th. This guy needs some help.

Love was killing Atlanta in the third and then they started mugging him. The Wolves need a second scorer to step up when the other team starts mauling Love.

I know there are some injuries and grooming of young players. But, Adelman has to make some changes. I don't know if Milicic is masking an injury or what....but, he should not be starting. I really think he should be released if he continues to be a ZERO factor the next 5-to-10 games. They need to get healthy and find out where Beasley's head and game is at...and move Wesley Johnson to the bench. Right now Love has to shoulder too much of the Wolves scoring load. That must change before the season gets to the halfway point...which isn't too far away with the abbreviated season. It's tough...but, bold moves need to be get this team in the right direction.

PLEASE bench or release Darko...enough is enough. He has had more fouls than points the past several games and doesn't block shots anymore. Move Peck or AR into the lineup and move Darko out. Some may not like this but the Wolves DO NEED Beasley in the lineup in some capacity because Wesley J is so inconsistent and afraid to shoot open shots. The TWolves are very close to becoming a .500 team this year or at least 30 wins which is a huge one year jump.
