fish7718 Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Puzzling just how easy it was for Love to get open. Oh wait, it's the Clippers. Awesome shot. I'm late on this, but I was too busy celebrating in my living room.Yeah they had DeAndre Jordan covering K Love, terrible coaching, when the Wolves came out with the line up Rubio-Ridnour-Elilington-Williams-Love the Clippers should have subbed in another F to chase Williams so Blake could chase Love, instead you get slow Jordan trying to get out to challenge that shot and that's what you get. Adelman with another great move.I also love how he didn't call the timeout on the Rubio 3, he trusted the young players to make the right decision and Derrick Williams made a great second pass.

Dash Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 And suddenly the Wolves are 7-8 and are 1.5 games back of a playoff spot. Ball movement has been so much better with Beasley out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sħãlïq™ Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Kevin Love is getting pumped up on twitter now. Everyone is saying he's better than Blake. Good. Hope Blake checks twitter, cuz does need to get his sh#t together. At some point it's on Blake to demand more post plays and be more aggressive. He thinks he's Lebron or some Melo w/ all of this taking people off the dribble crap. Back them down and then make a definitive move (IE Hook shot). He plays hard, but he doesn't play smart at all. And he tries to dunk everything. Sometimes a simple catch and layup is needed. Good thing he's not dunking most of the time but rather shooting and making post up moves, but him and DJ need to lean back on this lob city crap. <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish7718 Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Worth noting that the Wolves are now 4-1 since Rubio has been starting, their 1 loss a 2 point loss in Atlanta in which Love missed a buzzer beater 3 and they held an 18 point lead in the 2nd half...

Sħãlïq™ Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 The Wolves ran a really nice wall screen... There is no way DJ could have defended it. You could see him trying to get out there, but he couldn't push through Rubio and another player who had set a double screen. The only way to defend that is to have one defender starting out above the wall (so he can't get picked) and take whoever steps out. The other players have to react and match up on the screeners... It was just a mistake in coverage, not DJ's mistake. He knew he had to get out to cover Love... Had Griffin been taking him and playing below the wall, the result would have been the same. Not DJ's fault. Gomes was actually the guy who should have read the double screen and gone out to cover Love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
