I know Sioux Falls is our D League affiliate. And i know they picked like 4th. So does that mean we no longer have any connection to Richard and whatever team drafted him is the only team that can bring him up from the D-league?

I wonder what our players think. They put in all this work and so far none of it is paying off. I wonder who they're blaming. This can't be the real us. I've just got to believe its the coach. A good thing for all the wittman haters is that I'm pretty sure he doesn't have a free pass anymore. Mchale sounded like he had/has high expectations for this season. We keep this up for too long and I think Wittman is gone.

The Kings shot 55% tonight. This defense is just embarrassing.

Lets get Jeff Van Gundy, it shouldnt be too hard to get him away from the cracker factory.

Randy Foye-25 Min, 11Pts, 4-8FG, 3-4 3PT, 2Reb, 4Ast, 1Stl.

Great numbers....when he was a rookie. Same goes for Brew. Play these guys more. this is stupid

Remeber when we first drafted Foye. Weren't we talking about making him be a penetrator and all of that? Why have we gotten away from that?

Speaking of van Gundy...he and Jackson got on the Wolves(and the coach by implication) for not making ANY adjustments to Parker.

Well, I guess one reason is that he can't penetrate in traffic. If there is a open straight line to the right of the basket he is unstoppable - if his kiss off the glass lay-up will bounce in.

Really though, it is this team's defense that is the most horrifying. The wolves need to redo their court again and put a red carpet down in the lane to reflect their bigs approach to defending the rim.

I can't wait for Collins to get back. He should get all of Smith's minutes. The Wolves shouldn't have resigned Smith. Richard also would be more helpful to this team than Smith is.

What'dya guys think of Mikki Moore? I know a Moore/Cardinal+late first pick was discussed extensively on here somewhere. Mikki's got a team option buy out that would save you guys 4-5 million bucks this off-season and he could be another serviceable big the remainder of the season. Thoughts after seeing him again?

Wittman is spreading the minutes way too damn thin. We need to get rid of some guys. Just like I thought during the offseason, there is not room for both Gomes and Smith. They just don't rebound like we need from them...especially Gomes. If we could get rid of both of them and add in Pekovic, we could be much better shape.

Speaking of Pekovic, does Obama's election reduce the chances that he comes over? Honestly, Pekovic knows he's going to get the **** taxed out of his contract if he does come over now.
Thriving on mediocrity since '89.
