EBass Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Then a win against the Blazers! Blazers did play 4 games in 5 nights, but still. Back to .500 again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmitty3 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Love Adelman as a coach, but can we stop with the full line switches. Our bench sucks in the first place, having 5 of them out there at once is hard to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBass Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Just saw a bit of the Clippers game and we were down by 8 - 10 when I checked in. I just can't get into them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmitty3 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 This team just does whatever they can to [PoorWordUsage] close games down their leg. 0-9 in games decided by 4 points of less. That's pathetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott K Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I think it has a lot to do with leaving the bench in there to long, then putting the starters back in with 2 minutes left, and they are out of sync. I would like to see all the starters on the floor for the last 10 minutes of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paceman Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 What a joke! 0-10 Jeepers just take care of the ball! Stupid turnovers at the end doomed the wolves.. dumb mistakes. No way they should have lost that game... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EBass Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Have fun in L.A. Love. Rubio isn't panning out like Kahn made us to believe. Wolves needs another all star to compliment. Most good teams have two all stars and we have one. Rubio should average 10pts and 10assts. Well my .02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott K Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 We drafted a very good PG this past draft, then traded him away. We really could use him right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rundrave Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Trade for Nate Wolters! He's riding the pine on a terrible Bucks team but puts up good numbers when he plays. When the guards over there were hurt he actually did really well. Naters gonna Nate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmitty3 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 We drafted a very good PG this past draft, then traded him away. We really could use him right now. I was extremely dissapointed when they got rid of Burke, he's gonna be a really good player in this league. Rubio is a liability down the stretch. He can't shoot or make a layup so the opponents barely has to guard him. Wish they would've posted up pek in those last few times down on offense.

Scott M Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 Rubio is hurting this squad at the end of games. I just read an ESPN article yesterday about PHX and MSP and their point differentials versus records. Phoenix has outperformed their point differential by like 4 games and Wolves have underperformed by 5. The writer was predicting Wolves win. Well, when you lose that many close games, it's a trend. 0-10 in 4 point games is a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzie Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 The thing about us drafting Burke this summer is that we drafted him for Utah...If we drafted for ourselves we probably wouldn't have taken Burke and screwed up the draft that way!!! hahaRubio needs to learn that other teams watch tape and his run to the baseline and pass back is a easy play to defend!!!

fishersofmen Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Make that 0-11 for games decided by 4 points or less. Its hard to believe actually. That little bit is what separates us from being average to very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmitty3 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 We're off the schneid! It's too bad that fsn thought that annoying treasure island commercial was more important than the final possession, but I guess if we got the win that's fine.

ozzie Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 ugly game but we did what we had to do to get the W!!! Love did his thing now we have a tough back to back against Memphis and then off to Atlanta...if we somehow get a W over Memphis that will be a good boost going to ATL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmitty3 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Tough loss. Randolph dominated Love down low at the end of the game and the Wolves just settled for jacking up wild 3's. Don't really understand why Rubio sat on the bench the whole 4th, he was one of the main reasons they had the huge 3rd to get back in the game.

Scott M Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 Somebody's gotta say it: Garnett got worse rosters into the playoffs. I know the West is deep, but at some point, Love has to guide this squad to the playoffs. 2 assists a game, his career average by the way, is not going to get it done. As gaudy as the scoring and rebounding is, he's been doing a lot of it with volume and a disregard for post defense in favor of rebound positioning. Yes the bench is weak, but so is the Blazers and Warriors bench. I'm getting sick of the excuses. Every week on talk radio, the hosts are expecting this Wolves win streak because so and so is back, or the schedule gets easier for a spell. And yet it's win one, lose one.

Scott K Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I know this season is pretty much a loss, as all the ones before it, but the Wolves are discussing trades for Miller, Prince, Allen, for JJ, Budinger, ad some other filler to get it done. I am not sure if this really helps the Wolves out at all in getting into the playoffs, but it does get rid of JJ, and a bad contract in Budinger, that has been injury prone recently.
