wolves/nba

This team is done done done. Time to get rid of everyone and start from scratch.

How does Tolliver see 23 minutes of floor time? Especially when we are down by ten in the last couple minutes and need offense. I love Adelman and he is a huge improvement over our previous coach but sometimes I have to question his rotations.

Love, Ridnour and Pekovic have been solid all year long, and were again tonight. Everybody else on this team is up and down. Missing Rubio tonight as I watched the game. He was making this season magical for the Wolves. JJ just doesn't do it for me. Saying he is the modern Troy Hudson One Hit Wonder might be a little too cruel, but maybe not. Although, had Beasley been available for the game, "Instant Offense" might have made up for the others shortcomings. Seeing Tolliver on the floor is not a confidence booster. They have to win at least 2 of the next 4 games. The Lakers are the best home team in the league, having lost only twice at home this season.

First comment is ignorant. That being said, we really need a good 2guard(SG) we don't have that at all and the way were playing now without Rubio were not going to make the playoffs or go far enough. We really should have seen if we could have got anything for before the dealine past for Wesley come on a sg, him and webster don't win us or help us win games enough, webster usually sits around his spot and misses his open threes, 80% health or not I rather would have had J. Rich there and amnestied Webster at this point. Hopefully Beasely comes back healthy and effective and starts tearing it up on the scoreboard for us. We played bad tonight and the refs didn't help either Love best with your thumb you could see 2days ago be bothering and he barely got to the line tonight. this is past now time for future/games ahead.

Wow my grammar got messed up on my auto-correct^ sorry

I don't know... I've watched the Wolves play everyone tough this year, but it just feels like they are awed by the Lakers and back off at times...

I agree with other posters when they say it's hard to see why certain people play. I think Wes has had enough time on the court without producing & should sit for a few games. Barea needs to slow down his play, seems out of control with the ball all the time, & quit whining to the refs. You lose the ball, get your butt back on defense. Webster is always going to be a mystery. Seems like we lost creativity & very good defense when Rubio went down. Why doesn't Adelman play Randolph & Ellington more? Wes is thrown out there all the time & doesn't do squat, yet the others don't get consistent minutes.

It is obvious the Love is the center of our team, but Rubio and Beasley seem to be the difference makers. They are our playmakers and when they are out of the game obviously people have to play out of their roles, which is something they are not comfortable with. I feel so sorry for Barea as he has having a less than average season. He needs to let the game come to him. I also have to agree with the comment that said Adelman's rotations drive me nuts sometimes. It's not looking good for the Twolves, but we have said that before this year and they have proved us wrong. Let's hope they do it again.

The Wolves have been a .500 team all year. They have hovered around .500 even with Rubio. This pattern does not surprise me. It is obvious, though, this team needs more talent. Webster is a 11th or 12th man, and Wes Johnson is not an NBA player.

For those of us who are MN sports fans of all our teams... this is just like the Twins and Yankees. Unfortunately one team has your number and they beat you night in and night out no matter what happens in the game. The Twins can never beat the Yankees and the Wolves can never beat the Lakers. Sometimes it is match-ups, or different players having good nights... but I've come to expect the Lakers and Yankees will always beat our two teams. Love doesn't "only beat them every once in awhile" ... Love has never beaten the Lakers in 4 years. Just like Gardy when he brings the Twins to N.Y.
