Wasn't stressed out about it when he broke it the first 2 times. Not stressed about it now.
Rick HAS to play Derrick Williams. It sucks that Love is hurt of course, but now we get to see what the #2 pick in the 2011 draft is made of.
As long as I don't have to hear a word from Kev, rehab correctly this time. We've made it this far with either Love out or playing like crap. Rubio still holds the keys.

We lose to Portland 102-97. That's not the surprising part. It's the fact that it took Rick Adelman so long to just let Derrick play. Wolves now 15-15. We'll be without Love for a while, but tonight showed that if Rick could just trust Derrick, this won't be the problem everyone thinks it will be:
The good:
They fought back from a major hole to get within 4 in the 4th. Derrick scored 18 and 6 in 17 minutes and it changed how we played. Enough's enough. Play him or watch the season slip away.
Pek: 21 and 15. Mr. consistency for us.
Barea: 14 and 7 assists. He picked up the slack big time for Shved.
The bad:
Man I wish we had gotten Batum. 26 points. Wes Matthews is another guard I wish we had. Those are the type of players that fit what Rick wants to a tee. Unfortunately they play for a rival.
Shved: 2 points, 7 assists, 1-11 FG. Just one of those days where nothing worked. Better luck next game.
Dante had a good game: 10 points, 12 rebounds. That's not the bad part. Almost 43 MINUTES! Rick, for the love of God just play Derrick more, faults and all. You've already lost Love, Lee, Roy, Rubio, Howard, etc. Give him a chance. I'm glad to see Derrick's gonna have to force him to do something, but man. Rick probably lost us the game just by not showing enough trust in Williams.
UNLEASH THE CAGED LION! 15-15. Season not over. Ricky's coming back Tuesday. Duh.

He's the one guy that could wake up today, demand a trade, and I wouldn't even argue against him. From what I can tell, he's working on his game. He's dropping the bad habits he has. He's working on the jump shot. He's getting to the line. He's still awkward around the rim, but he's putting in the work.
Rick has nothing else to lose by playing him. If he plays well, we're a playoff team and Rick gets what he wants. If he plays him and he does well and Rick still wants him gone, then you can get everything you need to fix your team in a trade. If he plays him and he sucks, then Rick can prove he was right. Not playing Williams now in favor of running Dante into the ground is counterproductive and detrimental to the team. He needs to let go and just trust Derrick the way he trusts Ricky and Alexey.
