Lateral Two Step...
Something had to be done to get the Wolves going, here's the list (in my order of preference)...
-Dismiss Kevin McHale outright for incompetence
-Trade any player
-Sell the team to a new owner who wouldn't sign Joe Smith to a sweetheart deal, thus throwing the teams future in complete turmoil by losing draft picks.
-Bulldoze Target Center by "accident"
-Lock Michael Olowakandi in the basement of the Target Center and repeatedly taser him while he repeats this line "I will not shoot the ball, I will not shoot the ball..."
-Hire Phil Jackson immediately at whatever cost he asks for
-Sign Karl Malone for veteran leadership at whatever cost he asks for
-Cut Latrell Spreewell
-Cut Sam Cassell
-Cut Michael Olowakandi
-Cut Troy Hudson
-Lock Michael Olowakandi in the basement of the Target Center and repeatedly taser him while he repeats this line "I will not shoot the ball, I will not shoot the ball..."
-START FRED HOIBERG!
-Hire Clem Haskins to coach (Hey, no pesky studying to get in the way of basketball!)
-Rest Kevin Garnett for the rest of the year, (his knee is only getting worse), write off the season, and get in the draft lottery by starting this lineup:
1: Anthony Carter
2: Troy Hudson (Give him the green light to jack up misguided three after misguided three, oh wait, you don't need to tell him to.)
3: Eddie Griffin
4: Ndudi Ebi
5: Michael Olowakandi (Play him every minute of every game until he can't get up and down the court anymore).
-SIGN FLIP SAUNDERS TO ANOTHER TEN YEAR CONTRACT!
Firing Flip Saunders was the absolute LAST move this team should have made. There was no coaching problem. This is the most ridiculous lateral move I've seen a team make in the history of the league. The players deserve ALL the blame. He coached this team to the Western Conference Finals last year. He's the same coach, he's running the same plays, Hmmmm... what could possibly be different? I have an idea. It might be the junk effort the players are putting up. Namely Cassell and Spreewell. They needed to fired along with McHale and the owner should have his team taken away by Stern for gross negligence. This is what you get when you put a CEO in charge of a team. He promotes the crap and fires the gold. I can't wait for Flip to win a title with another team. I'll cheer and laugh so loud. This is the latest in a long sad history of Timberwolves basketball.

I agree. McHale is not the answer, but Flip had to be gone. Next we need an overhaul in player changes. I know I'm in the minority on this, but Flip had to go. Hopefully a Larry Brown or Phil Jackson (ugh) or maybe even Lenny Wilkins out of retirement will come help us out. We need some frickin draft picks...high end picks, not second or 3rd round.

2 big wins and a huge game from Olowakandi. Hmmmm. Could Big Scott have been (dare I say it) wrong?
OK OK, 2 wins is nothing, but time will tell I guess.
Over and out.
Even if they win every game from here on out they eventually will play the class of the league, the Spurs (who by the way, have a true leader in Tim Duncan, not a fake leader, ie KG. A real leader would have been chewing on Spreewell and others by now for their effort. KG's too much of a puss to call him out. They ought to rename the team to the timberpusses in his honor.
(Wow, a huge game from Olowakandi, how many games has he played in? One million? That's a pretty poor ratio.)
I'm done with this team, go Heat!!! They're getting ZO!!!
Shaq and ZO!!!
The east rulez!!!
I got skillz to pay the billz!!!
