If the Wolves lose tonight, the season is *lost*. It'll be interesting
to see how KG play against Bosh. Thus far this season, KG has let a
number of young PF's catch up to him.

Send KG to a contender, Detroit or Miami, board up the Target Center.
I'm totally flabbergasted and disgusted. Drop McHale from a small plane
over his
beloved Iron Range. Give Casey a one way pass BACK to Japan.

No hints of that. He's in the doghouse for some
thing, nobody's talking - other than Casey saying
that Blount is "doing a good job".

Front office meddling or a relapse of his substance
abuse problems are my leading theories.

Yeah, it's a good plan. Casey tried Reed for awhile in
the 2nd, but that didn't work so well either.

Who knows? Supposedly, Casey is big on prep.
He's got a lot to deal with right now.

<grin> What was that about humpsters and dumpsters ?
Do they sell dental dams over the counter at Wal-Mart?

When has there been any evidence that the front office decides who the
Wolves play?

?

I have never been this low on the team, but apparently KG and company
see positives in the latest loss.

Blount. Why else would he still be getting minutes. Feet, hands,
blunder after blunder.
He's a big contract, they're stuck with him, so we get to watch. Just
like 'kandi.

Also Sprewell, Jaric, and Hudson. Then there's McCants
and Ricky Davis to consider. If they keep playing this
poorly, they should ride pine too. <grin> Of course, that
means there's nobody left but Frahm and Wright.

I'll do a Matt and predict that with Wilcox going
to Seattle, Eddie gets back on the floor. ESPN
reported that McHale broke a deal for EG by
demanding his draft choice back from the Clippers.
