Love and Pek did their job tonight. Can't say the same for anyone else. Maybe Mbah a Moute. Thought he brought good minutes again.

Fixed.

I'm going to stop watching the Wolves for a while. Maybe they will catch fire, but I don't see it happening. This a poorly constructed team sorely lacking in length, speed and athleticism. We're built as a jump-shooting team without great shooters. We can't defend and don't have anyone who can create off the dribble. Our PG can't shoot. We have only two good defenders outside of Ricky and those two are purely one-dimensional players who are generally huge liabilities on the offensive end.

I could be wrong and hope I'm wrong, but I really do see the need to blow this thing up after this season. Sadly that likely means dealing Love. That's sad because he's a great player and a pleasure to watch. But we don't have the right type of team assembled around him and we have neither the cap room nor the trade assets to put the right kind of quality players around him. Again, I really hope I'm wrong.

The only trade I could see the wolves actually rebuilding is trading Kevin Love. I don't know if the bulls would do it but Klove for Deng, Chi 1st, Cha 1st and there overseas stud.

Except in the 4th. When no one did their job. I don't give anyone a pass tonight. They (with Adelman at the helm) should all be hanging their heads for this embarrassment. 4 regular rotation players out for LA and Adelman can't find an angle? Pathetic.

No need to rebuild. The bench needs to be reworked. There is too much riding on the shoulders of the starters every night. Even if they have to package JJ, DC and Shved for a single big contract and bring in 2 minimum salary free agents it would probably be better. Bring in some hungry players that have skills that the team needs. Lets throw Shabazz and Dieng out there too.

A win against the Clips will rectify nothing, another game in the loss column can not be undone. A win against the Clips simply means there was zero excuse for not sweeping the two games. Such a pathetic team.

Ehh, yeah it does. I think before this game we'd all be happy with a split in LA. Tough to beat the Clips but that needs to be done now with this loss.

Anybody else have one foot off the Rubio bandwagon yet? Hate to say it, but he's regressed from last year to this year. It sucks. He has potential to be special.

Just for perspective guys.......we are improving as a road team.

We started the season 2-6 on the road. Last 7 games on the road we have been 3-4. Yes, last 2 road losses are annoying, but atleast improvement is there.

I'm still fully on the Rubio bandwagon but he is definitely struggling with his place right now. Where is the passion, determination, and flair? That is what made him so special before. I am starting to worry that the coaches may be putting to tight of constraints on him.
