Jim Peterson rips into Alexey Shved every chance he gets but I never hear him criticize JJ, all he says is "he needs someone to help him out"

He has the right to have an attitude. Everyone else on the roster (besides Alexey, Rubio, and Dieng) have about a mile of rope. Bazz won us the Suns game and was back to the end of the bench after 5 games. It's ridiculous.

Why the hell was Love not posting up Pierce from the very beginning of the game? He eventually did a couple of times, but I was amazed they didn't go to him starting with the opening tip.

Unfortunately, Love was flat tonight. He seems to have a hard time getting up for games now that they don't mean much. Meanwhile, Rubio and Brewer were working their tails off. Even Martin seemed to play with some fire. Love has to at least play for his team mates....

At this point, wins and losses mean nothing in the race for playoffs OR draft order. I'm more interested in getting Dieng and Bazz as much playing time as possible. Too bad Adelman refuses to play Bazz. Those could be huge bench players next season.

Also, Pekovic/Brewer/Martin have been playing well. Trade stocks for both have to be pretty good. This off-season, any could be dealt with a positive return for the Wolves. Not sure any of them get dealt, but at least their stock is up.

I wanna see Ricky shoot 10-15 shots a game these last 10 games. I know he's pass first, but the more aggressive he is, the better. We know he's elite at assists, rebounds and steals/defense. Like to see him use these last 10 games to run off good scoring outings and use that as momentum for the off-season. As much as we were hoping to see a greater jump for Rubio, he has improved this year and might be another off-season away from scraping his true potential.

Chase should have been shut down weeks ago. His minutes should be Bazz's. Period.

Fuck JJ Barea. I don't care what we get for him in trade or maybe he can be bought out, I'm not sure. There's no way I want to see him wearing a Wolves uniform next season.

Enjoy these 10 games Adelman. No way do I see Flip bringing him back. Those two guys haven't seen anything eye to eye the whole year. D-Will, Shved, Shabazz, Dieng, Rubio 4th quarters, etc.

I'll end this with a question: do we think Flip wanted to re-sign Budinger? Or do we think Adelman pressured him into it because Bud's one of his guys? I want to believe the latter. I don't think Flip wanted Bud or AK47 actually. I have nothing to back this up, but I feel like Flip might have thought we'd be fine at SF after signing Brewer, drafting Muhammad and at the time having D-Will on the roster. (Draft was late June, FA signings were early July).

I feel bad for Budinger, but I don't see him in our future. I also don't see him bringing back anything worthy in trade. Oh well. It is what it is now.

JJ and Cunningham won't be back next year. Mainly because Love doesn't like them. I would love to trade JJ and LRM for Mayo. I think the Buck's might bite on that trade.

Anything Bud related I put on Adelman, he's clearly and Adelman guy. I can't imagine Kahn and Flip would have similar lines of thinking when it comes to basketball and yet Bud remained with the team.

well hey go all out if your going to blame adelman. He probably kicked Love's leg out when he was doing knuckle pushups breaking his hand. I can't say for sure, but I think it's a pretty safe bet Adelman is the one who signed Joe Smith under the table
