As a fervent T-Wolves fan this...
Says a lot about what a bad (the wrong) coach can do to a young team... As a Wolves fan it has been tough watching Wittman 'Coach' these guys - he was unprepared to give guys like Carney (22pt yesterday) and 'Bassy any serious burn... Why? only he knows... Anyway - obviously the Wolves won`t keep this going indefinitely, but the fact that they have almost doubled their win total in the last 12 days says to me that they are not as bad as some are making them out (or as bad as Wittman made them play)... Guess we can kiss a high lottery pick goodbye - then again who knows, maybe we finally get lucky and snag the no 1 pick with a low probability like the Bulls, Magic (TWICE!!!), or Bucks... Anyway - since the pick is top 10 protected - and otherwise conveyable to the Clips - it might be good to get that out of the way this year - since we will still have 3 first round picks regardless (and late picks seem to work out better in weak drafts).
Brian "Thow-in" Cardinal (Mark "Virginia" Madsen - with game) can still play as well - the run pretty much correlates with his playing decent minutes, he does the little things that young hotshot players don`t bother (or never learned) to do... hopefully it rubs off on the rest of the pups...
