Most of these guys were on winning programs in college. UCLA. UNC. 'nova. Florida. It's not as if they've been losing their whole lives.

On the bright side, Marc Stein points out that the last team to lose 8 straight after winning their first game was the 2003-04 Magic, who ended up going from 1-0 to 1-19. Um, ouch.

I remember that T-Mac led team. They were absolutely brutal. Finished 21-61....hopefully that isn't a sign of things to come.

I think the point about us being under-sized is very valid, but that changes really fast if MIN was able to find its center. For example, toss Kaman on the team next year and you've got:

7' 0" Chris Kaman
6'10" Al Jefferson
6' 9" Corey Brewer
6' 8" Mike Miller
6' 4" Randy Foye

And then they got the first pick and drafted Dwight Howard.

In his 4 years in Chicago they won 47, 41, 49, and 33 games. And of course all his time at Duke.

they are part of the game too!

I'd trade Wittman to any other team for 1 assitant coach and a cheer leader =(


that's way too much to ask for! we need to cut our losses and just ask for the person in section 118, row 25, seat C
