A day after the team he reconstructed trailed Dallas by 31 points at home and lost for the 29th time in 33 games, Kevin McHale on Monday acknowledged he assembled too much youth but said the way his players have conceded defeat is unacceptable.

"This is a process, and you knew it was going to be a process," said McHale, whose team has lost a lead after three quarters eight times. "I didn't have any expectations as to wins and losses. Wins and losses are not as important to me as defining roles and identifying a group of four or five players we can move forward with. Those are decisions this franchise has to make: Who do we move forward with and what level [financially] are we willing to do to keep everything in place? At times within the process, it's frustrating."
McHale called the Wolves' performance Sunday against Dallas "terrible." He also said he will judge this season by personal improvement he sees from players.
