    I like him... a lot......we could use Rubio and the way he controls the tempo ala CP3.....he just has that "It" factor.

    That's why Morey wanted him so badly. Rubio and Love are just special players, and the Rockets don't have anyone like them.

    There are too many white people on this roster, Clyde can't come them straight.

    When is Morris coming back? Can we trade Scola and some others for a power forward or picks?

    I love PPat, but coach has to leave players who are hot in...

    Game stats
    Jordan Hill 13 mins 8 points 5 rebounds +8
    P Patterson 20 mins 8 points 5 rebounds -4

    SMH....only explanation is injury or D.M. Got a phone call at half time regarding a trade...

    Man ... Lowry is playing like a 40 year old man. No burst whatsoever, and guys are just driving past him at will.

    I saw it last year too, that is why I commented that he doesn't have good lateral quickness, but it has gotten even worse this year.

    Problem with Scola is that he's too slow of foot to guard people like Love. He's a stellar traditional big. But a huge liability on D against these kind of dudes.

    Furthermore, where was Lowry in the 4th? Dragic did nothing tonight... shooting wise I mean. And we needed points.

    He's essentially a 4 playing at 3 beside Love and Pekovic. Parsons and of course CBud couldn't handle him. That's a huge MIN frontline. I don't know why we didn't go to a 3-big frontline as well

    It was a winnable game. McHale should gone with Hill over Pat in the 3rd quarter.

    It reminded me of SL from a couple years back. Omar Samhan abused Patterson when he played C there. I think Pat still can play some minutes there but he struggled before they went small ball. This one is on McHale.

    Ok I agree with that. For the future sake. Right now our roster is probably better except for Kevin Love. Rubio is not better than Lowry except for one game in this season. Future considerations? Ricky and Love I would trade anyone for on our roster. Morey is not good at getting stars. I wont say he is until he gets one. He is good at getting solid talent. The teams overall better talent than the Wolves at every position besides the Superstar Morey cant get shows that within its record.
