It usually starts with his man even with him, and ends with someone else leaving their man to stop Cory's. Let's just say Cory isn't in any danger of pulling a hammy!
This guy isn't a good defender or hustle guy. He only plays hard going for steals and fast breaks.
I was going to post something similar after the first few minutes of the game. The Wolves were shooting well and could have set the tone for the game early, but Henderson kept them in the game. And it was bad defense from Cory that gave Henderson those looks.
Very frustrating. And it's disappointing that Adelman just sticks with the same thing over and over again.
The Wolves were just out-hustled and out-worked by a team with inferior talent, but has a coach that gets them committed to playing hard. We were absolutely crushed on the glass.

The talent gap really wasn't that big as I saw it. Love is really our only definitive positional advantage on them. Their coach was really smart to go long with Zeller on Love. Al played good D on Pek too.

I am surprised that doesn't happen more when our starting SF is ranked 65th out of 65 players in rebound rate.

Pek has previously dominated the Jefferson match-up. Not tonight though. And I like Rubio better than Walker; Martin better than Henderson; and obviously Love better than McRoberts. Let's call MKG and Brewer a wash. We held a pretty decisive advantage talent-wise. Unfortunately, hustle and defense is something that is quickly deteriorating with this squad.
Didn't see the game, but looking at the box score tells the same old story. Our bench were severely outplayed by the Bobcat's bench. Wouldn't it be nice to have a guy like Neal coming off the bench and score 19 points off 10 shots.
I watched the GS/Cleveland game tonight and the warriors were down 9pts with a little over 40 seconds to go, and still their coach wasnt' ready to quit. He was actually calling timeouts and everything.
I have never seen a coach throw in the towel with over two minutes to go down only 11, well until Adelman. Oh, I forgot, the HOF Adelman.
