Miller out for tonight’s Clippers game
Posted on December 6th, 2008 – 6:49 PMBy Jerry Zgoda
The Wolves are giving Mike Miller a second consecutive night to heal his sprained right ankle tonight against the Clippers at Target Center. That will give them three more days after tonight for the swelling and stiffness to diminish and perhaps give Miller a chance to practice some on it Monday before Utah arrives for a game Tuesday night.

We are closing in on my 4-17 prediction when Randy Wittman gives up and resigns because Kevin McHale isn’t man enough to even fire the poor guy.
Down at one point 16 to the Clippers.
Kevin if you or your family can read at all… I hope you are ashamed of yourself. You have turned NBA basketball into a curse word!
I was in Target today and heard someone say “That cereal sucks, not as bad as the Timberwolves, but way worse than Coco Crispies”
That put a big smile on my face… and people say that the kids today don’t know anything. They know CRAP when they see it!
Kevin Ollie with the start averaging 3 points and an assist per game…
Randy Wittman is an abomination against GOD and MAN as a coach!
“I like the energy he gives at the start of the game.”
Wittman you’re a freaking idiot!
The announcers are getting all excited that love is making jump shots and scoring, mean while the opposing forwards have combined for 9 of 14 shooting so he isn’t guarding well on the other end, neither is anybody though and has 3 turnovers and 3 fouls in 17 minutes, he doesn’t handle the ball that much to be turning it over and he grabs and reaches too much on defense.
Big Al barely plays any defense either though. When their both out there together the other teams forwards have a easy time scoring.
Chris… if you are pet owner you get excited when the dog finally goes on the paper, and not on the carpet. It doesn’t make him potty-trained, but it’s a good start.
Kevin Love’s maturation as an NBA ball player with the disease known as Kevin Mcfailedabortion and the Wittless wonder… it’s amazing he hasn’t regressed to a blanket and thumb sucking at the end of the bench.
And as for the announcers… Lynch isn’t terrible… way better than the guy we had last year, but I miss the old KFAN crew.
I think this is the ultimate referendum on us being the least athletic team in the NBA. Even the Grizzlies beat the Clippers, and they did it basically by running them into the ground.
home and down 14 to clippers at half…wow, the stinking t-wolves are worse than last night. NO ONE should be attending these stinking games! how can an owner, manager, and coach keep this up w/o stepping down. quit and sneak out of town, this includes that dope owner. trade the team for a hot dog stand.
besides you really can’t blame Love… who is he supposed to learn to play defense from?
Al Jefferson can’t play defense, Kevin McHale was a mediocre defender most of his career, and Randy Wittman was a bench player for the Nuggets when they were being outscored 120-115 every night.
Love is already at their level!
I like twinsfan, thats what I have been saying since the trade. Thank you for saying it too. Both are horrible on defense. I meant announcers on tv, by the way but yeah it is a good sign that Love is actually getting minutes now. Mayo is playing terrific again tonight but Memphis still blows too.
We all need to go to a game together and find McHale and his horrible sweater and beat him, lol.
Chris,
McHale never sits in the stands at Wolves games anymore does he?
And believe me those horrible sweaters are the least of his concerns… his wife had to give him sweaters when he sat there drooling when he couldn’t figure out how to actually do buttons, and he got some of his chest hair caught in the zipper of the athletic gear…
the sweaters are a must. They are for his own good.
Down by 17 to the Clippers at home. Donald Sterling must be pleased. This team stinks, the coaching stinks, and the management stinks. Take it all apart and start over, even AJ. They are not going anywhere.
again coming out of the 2nd half they are getting killed…its the same story game after game dating to 2005, this team is not ready to player after halftime. Time for new caoch and players.
I want new coaches and management first!
We saw what Tubby Smith did with the Gophers…
I wonder what a real head coach and GM would do for the players the Wolves have now?
Wow, they really are bad, I’m almost watching now just to see how bad it can get.
Chris,
Is it me or does Randy Wittman’s conversations kind of resemble the character Randy from My Name is Earl?
Except minus the humor
Wow, down by 17 now sounds good. Behind by 28 to the Clippers, during garbage time nonetheless. Amazing, but even more amazing—both Wittman and McFail will have their jobs tomorrow.
Forget the Lakers…this is the L.A. team to watch out for!
lol to both of the above
Mchale must be a narcissist! Trade mccants and others for przybilla. And get some guard help in draft
I don’t know why Love doesn’t play during garbage time, he needs the experience
Well, there is no conceivable way that Wittman survives this week.
It’s so obvious that I can’t imagine that they are going to let this go on any longer.
I’m taking a break from the wolves until mchale or wittman are gone. I feel like that El Doucheo dude as the team is so pathetic. Its unfortunate as I’m one of the wolves biggest fans and have been with the team for there ups and many many downs……
I just got home from that embarrassment of a basketball game. Where can we go to get our money back ? I got to watch McHale sit in the stands with his head buried under his hands, like this is an embarrassment to him, but he didn’t have anything to do with this ? All this is going to fall on Wittman’s head. Wittman should be fired for the last two games. But, the players are the quitters. The lack of effort by this team comes down to the players. No coach should have to force you to have pride in playing. This team got badly outrebounded, which comes down to effort. We have missed Mike Miller the past two blowout losses, because Miller actually gives effort for his 35-38 minutes per game. He rebounds, he plays with effort. McHale should be fired because he put together this embarrassment of a team. We never led the entire game. We can’t even trade most of these players because nobody else would want them. Who would want McCants ? What is the trade value of Foye ? Wittman will take the fall, but McHale needs to follow him out the door immediately.
Is there any owner in any sport that cares less about their fans than Glen Taylor? Of course Kevin Mchale will never resign, because he does not want to quit or be seen as a failure. At some point you would think that Taylor would put the fans or the possibility of being a winning team ahead of his worship of Mchale, but it’s looking more and more like that day will never come
