Memo to Rick Adelman: please retire after this season, but not before, we cannot afford to go on a winning streak.

Fixed.

Memo to Rick Adelman: your interior defense is atrocious, you might want to consider playing a guy who can actually block/contest shots--you have one sitting on the bench collecting splinters.

It would be one thing if Adelman tried to make adjustments to beef up our deficiencies. But he just puts the same old crap out there and says "we gotta play better". It has gotten very old. Unless this is some form of tanking - Adelman's final gift before retiring...

It doesn't even feel like rooting anymore. It is digusting.

Terrible half defensively and on the boards. I'm surprised we're only down 12, but we are shooting well.

Gary Neal's eyes got really big when he saw who was "guarding" him. I'm not going to say the name of the guy who gave up most of Neal's 16 points because it's really on Adelman for playing him when he's not ready.



Edit: To be fair, Kevin Martin didn't defend Neal very well either.

Interesting that Rick subbed Dieng in for Pek so early in the second half. Pek was missing a lot of easy shots...was that the reason?

Pek's 12 mil ankle is acting up again...

I like Charlotte's team. They really hustle on the boards. Zeller, Big Al, and MKG is a good 2 way unit.

Yeah, they are building something there. Like I said earlier in this thread, sometimes Vegas decides to hand out free money...making the Wolves a 2-point favorite in Charlotte was laughable. The last time Charlotte lost to a mediocre team at home, Philip Seymour Hoffman was still alive.

Everyone looks like they hustle against us. For anyone that recorded this game go back and look at Cory and his lack of D, but more importantly watch his attempts to get back on D. 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.

Has anyone notices that Adelman leaves Love on the floor until the very end of games we a leading by double digits, but has no problem pulling our starters with over 2 minutes left down 11 points. He actually pulled them two weeks ago down 14 with almost 4 minutes left.

What kind of message does that send to our players? How do you pull Ricky while leaving Chase on the floor? Why is chase on the floor to begin with?
