Season in Minnesota. 2013 edition: Ricky, K-Love & B-Roy comeback thread

Rick the ruler ruling again.
No rubio, no love.

but they still got Rick!

 

Should never let RA leave

 

WTF? They lose Rubio and Love, but the Wolves are only trailing the Spurs in the west.

 

Only 2 weeks in. Also they're with the Grizzlies. Bucks are 3-1 in the East.

 

tied with the Grizzlies*

 

They have a fairly easy schedule, but it is still quite impressive. Not only the win% but the quality of the game they're playing.

Derrick Williams looks massively improved on D.

 

Adelman's system is proven. Just gotta give him a couple years to get the players acquainted with it.

They should trade 30% shooting Rubio though.

Chad Budinger looks like he's having a good start, but it's basically the same thing he's been doing the past 2 years. It's bizarre that he doesn't improve.

And hes on my IR in fantasy basketball didnt even know he would play..hes beasting too smh

 

I'm undefeated in my basketball league, and also have the most fantasy points all season. All with Kevin Love, my first round pick (got him a day before the injury), not playing. Can't wait til he's back

 

Whoah he's playing today?! Where did this come from?

 

Rooting for the Wolves would be so much easier if they dumped Howard and Kirilenko. Love is killing it.

 

Jesus that efficiency....it's like he was never injured

 

Well I gotta say massive props to Adelman. Its amazing they didn't have Love and Rubio and C-bud and are still winning.

Still I can't help thinking how undisicplined the team was when he was heading it, and how he refused to play the rooks and showed favoritism to certain player who just sucked. LOL, well its not like those changed when we changed coaches.

Still, it's nice to see his offense flourishing. Maybe it's because Minny has a ton of guys with high bball IQ.

 

Wow, Love has 34 pts and 14 rbs in his return, but they lose. It's like Love didn't even get injured

 

Monster performance tonight
