Adelman backing Barea
Team lose games they shouldn't all the time. It's the nature of the NBA schedule. There's too many games to be laser focused on each one. Still, there are games where you really shouldn't lose. For the Minnesota Timberwolves, that game came last night. Up 21 points, the T'Wolves lost to the Golden State Warriors Monday night, but they didn't just lose...

Adelman backs Barea: People should get mad
MINNEAPOLIS After Sunday's 93-88 Timberwolves' loss to Golden State one that saw the Timberwolves up 55-34 at the end of the second quarter J.J. Barea was frustrated.
Just 10 months removed from a championship in Dallas, perhaps Barea's unfamiliarity with consistent losing pushed him to say what he said. Or maybe he's just independently competitive; maybe it takes...

With each passing day, the Minnesota Timberwolves are more and more coach Rick Adelman's team. Players are buying into his system, and he commands a respect that's of a rare magnitude. He's unquestionably in charge, but this week marked the second time this season that Adelman was for the most part powerless.

Porter is a natural fit as Adelman's assistant
MINNEAPOLIS It's deceiving, when he shoots free throws at practice and makes them all. From behind, all that's missing is a jersey, and he's just another player, a fourth point guard.

Wolves' future looks bright under Adelman
HOUSTON Timberwolves coach Rick Adelman was careful with the plaudits.
His youthful team had tantalized before, pushing the NBA's best to varying limits of distress only to fold under the weight of their own inexperience and unforced errors.

Adelman wants Timberwolves to get greedy
MINNEAPOLIS -- The most valuable thing Rick Adelman offered his Timberwolves after Wednesday's 90-86 loss to Memphis had nothing to do with what happened on the court. It wasn't advice on technique.
