Timberwolves head coach Rick Adelman said Wednesday's win over Utah was the type of game that teams hoping to make the playoffs needed to win. "We talk about staying in the hunt," Adelman said. "We've put ourselves in position to be in the hunt. Let's take advantage of it."

Timberwolves coach Rick Adelman dished out his worst criticism of the year last night after Minnesota's 10th-straight loss. In his words: "Come on, we're better than that."

If there’s a Timberwolves’ doghouse, Darko Milicik is in it. Even with Nikola Pekovic injured last night, Darko was on the bench in Minnesota’s loss to San Antonio. Coach Rick Adelman told the Star Tribune afterwards that Milicik hasn’t done much to prove he can “do the job.”

Timberwolves coach Rick Adelman is drilling into his players the importance of not turning the ball over after the team’s 22-turnover outing on Wednesday night. The Star Tribune reports the coach made the team watch every turnover in an extended film session Thursday.

With the addition of Spanish-speaking guard JJ Barea to the Timberwolves backcourt along with Ricky Rubio, coach Rick Adelman said he wants only English spoken on the court. I have to know what they are talking about back there, Adelman said.

Timberwolves head coach Rick Adelman tells the Pioneer Press there is a chance that Kevin Love will play Sunday against the Warriors. Adelman says if "he wants to play and the doctors say it's OK, I'm happy to put him out there."

The first scrimmage was 'ragged', but that's to be expected. Rick Adelman says the Timberwolves need to defend better, among other things.
