NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
Kevin McHale long ago traded in the short shorts for the suit and tie. He was better in short shorts.
Kevin McHale fired Coach Randy Wittman and hired Kevin McHale. My, it is good to be the boss.
Why was Randy Wittman fired? Kevin says the team was off to a slow start and the team was not delivering on defense, as was pledged.
Uhh, what? Are you kidding me?
The young team is 4-15 and has not responded to Wittman’s demands for tough defense and consistent effort. The Timberwolves are in the midst of a five-game losing streak in which the average margin of defeat has been nearly 17 points.
“There were certain goals and expectations that we had for this team at the start of the season, and we have not lived up to them,” Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor said in a statement.
“I am disappointed in our record and believe that we have more talent than our record indicates. A change had to be made and with three-fourths of the season remaining, there is still time to make substantial progress this year,” he added.
Ok, ok, just let me stop laughing here and make a comment.
Here is the starting lineup: Foye, Miller, Gomes, Jefferson, and Collins
Now let’s remove Al Jefferson, whom most people don’t know anyway and what do you have? Maybe a top flight CBA team?
So if Kevin McHale was in charge of getting the players and he did not get any beside big Al, shouldn’t Kevin be fired?
