to be honest: I actually don't think Witt is the 1st one to criticize. I mean of course he drew some bad plays but especially in the 4th our players looked horrible as well and I don't think it is Wittman's fault. plus I don't think Wittman is THAT dumb to draw consecutive plays where Al doesn't even touch the ball. if he indeed is dumb as a brick, fire his ass ASAP

Barkley is going to be pissed come Thursday. He will retract his statement. I really had little to begin with but I am losing my faith in the coaching staff.

It wasn't a serious suggestion. I'm just FULL OF RAGE.

I'm just sick after that. Just sick. McCants had an open look but passed it up. He didn't want it or he would have taken it. We made them look good and they made us look silly. Period.

LOL @ FULL OF RAGE!

The play was probably for Gomes. I don't see Shad passing up on an opportunity to score.

big props to the Wolves' higher ups for somehow finding a way to play a soft frontcourt for most of the game despite having Al Jefferson, Kevin Love, and Craig Smith on the team. It took some hard work and creativity, but by cutting Harrison and Richard and starting Gomes, they've managed to make it happen.

and Al Jefferson with zero assists for 2 games in a row even though there's about ten 40% 3pt shooters on the team...is Wittman drawing up the play and saying "ok, you'll come off the pick and face up from 15 feet, now you have two options here, you can either launch a jumper and graze iron, or else drive to the hoop and when the double team comes, it's hook shot time baby"

Full of rage or not, a new coach would be nice.

I'm just saying if your guy goes for the steal, misses and you are wide open for three but pass it to someone with a guy in their face because the play was drawn up for him then you have no stones. Mark Madsen would have even considered taking that shot.

Absolutely.

The team could so easily be down 0-3 right now.

he committed to a bet saying that we're going to be better than the Hawks this year. seeing tonights game I don't think Charles will win the bet.

I'm gonna be creative and blame it on 2 games in 2 days and the travel :roll:

I agree that Wittman needs to go. If he were to be fired tonight, who would you want to replace him? Who's available right now?

Wittman is the type of coach where if you don't follow his gameplan you suffer negative consequences. These guys are not going to disobey any of his orders. Shad has been in his doghouse plenty of times already, he's going to listen to coach.
