As a Northeastern fan and huge JJ Barea fan I was kinda bummed when he went to the T'Wolves

But I found myself watching tonight even without him playing. Guys like Rubio and Love are just so fun to watch, and the future of this team is bright. I now am pumped to be a T’Wolves fan, and thank god he didn’t resign with the Mavs!!! I have been converted, Go Wolves!

We love JJ here, and we missed him tonight. He adds a lot of toughness and leadership to our team. It’s tough being a T-wolves fan…but it’s very rewarding when we actually see progress…like tonight!!

One for Rubio too, in advance.

And name Adelman lifelong coach with a yearly hundred maidens in reward.

Rubio in the 4th quarter

If it sounds like i'm man crushing.....

His stats were incredible in the 4th, but he is even better than those numbers. He literally does everything right.

by Cris Carter is a Muppet on Jan 21, 2012 12:41 AM CST up reply actions  

Good shout...

DWill was great tonight. I have never been more confused by a prospect than I am with Derrick. He is absolutely terrible as a ballhandler trying to create his own shot. But give him a Shawn Kemp-like, off the ball role in this offense (with Ricky) and I can see great things.

Think he has to be trade fodder for a true Wing dominator.

by KD kane on Jan 21, 2012 12:41 AM CST reply actions  

Remember Mike James against the Pistons?

We ended up losing the game, and later replays showed that his heel was slightly out of bounds, but he hit a pretty wild shot to tie the game. I wouldn’t say it was bigger than Love’s shot, but it was pretty memorable.

What won't get enough credit:

The defense of Darko and Rubio on Griffin, Williams and Billups. Darko’s proper fouling in his last few minutes was key.

It doesn't matter to fill out great numbers if you lose badly

I don’t mind Love or Ricky to struggle with scores, assists and rebounds if they can be the players that have the impact factor for winning a game.

After missing everything during the game, Ricky took the responsibility to tie the game with 20 sec. to go.

And Love went for the winning 3 like the real leader he has to be for the team.

by LobosfromMadrid on Jan 21, 2012 12:43 AM CST reply actions   1 recs

I think Adelman

Watch how many of those last seconds he uses each quarter. Gives them the practice they need to be clear-headed toward the end. You can see the improvement over the season, too.

by Spanish_Inquisition on Jan 21, 2012 12:48 AM CST up reply actions  

During the season the team has shown tenacity

that’s why we have lost by short margins to big team. We fight until the last second, but never get a reward for it. Today, we put the same balls on the table (“poner los cojones sobre la mesa”) and we got more than a moral victory: A REAL VICTORY!!! (broadcast for the entire country)

by LobosfromMadrid on Jan 21, 2012 12:48 AM CST up reply actions  

Rec'd for Lobos...

Love and Ricky help us win even when they have “bad” games. That is so rare. Ricky’s D tonight was an absolute revelation. I expected him to be a good off the ball defender, but he was absolutely lock down on everyone he guarded. What a player!

Ricky slipped on the floor and Mo fouled him (I didn’t see what specifically he did)….then started arguing with the refs vociferously, got his second T, and wouldn’t leave.

by PDGirl on Jan 21, 2012 12:45 AM CST up reply actions  

Rubio forced him to take two crappy shots and then draw a foul while driving to the basket.

Rubio was sliding at the moment and Williams freak out a little bit for the call. Frustration, is called.

For That I Credit Adleman

It would have been insanely easy for them to check out, Rubio in particular. The coaching staff seems to be getting their message through. The players seem to be listening. Wes drives. Darko dunks. Pek doesn’t foul. etc

Adelman had a great playcall

Three players stacked next to each other, Williams curls off, then two defenders pin Love’s defender so he can pop out and shoot an open three

If you're watching a blowout, you can pass the time by counting the double teapots.

Good call

With a quick look, he had games of 25, 23, 22, 22 last year. Which are his top 4, as far as I can tell.The 25 was against GSW on 12/14/10.

What does Darko need to get motivated???

After what we witnessed today is he seriously going to look again like a looser in the next game? This is his last chance to get to the train… He can do it, but it seems like he needs to hit his head agaisnt a wall from time to time to remember he’s alive…

But it wasn’t a good matchup for him. And tomorrow (today) might be, so I suspect Coach plans to play him mucho vs Utah.
