Another new era begins: Wolves at Kings tonight

Well, the Kenny Natt Era just tipped off in Sacramento tonight.

Tell me, what was your favorite moment from the Reggie Theus Era?

The Kings fired Theus Monday morning (former Timberwolf Chuck Person, a Theus assistant, got the heave as well) and named assistant Natt interim coach.

That makes Kevin McHale only the third-least tenured coach in the league now, after only a week on the job now that Theus and Philly’s Maurice Cheeks have been fired in the last three days.

“A few more weeks and I’ll be right there with Jerry Sloan,” McHale said, referring to the Utah coach who last week celebrated 20 years on the job.

I want to know WHY Mike Miller continues to pass up shots and passing off!!!! We traded for this guy because of his offensive prowess and he has been a bitter disappointment offensively. Someone answer this question and tell me why Miller refuses to be offensively aggressive!

I agree, McHale needs to make Miller a bigger part of the offense. The offense should revolve around the inside game and Miller.

sly

he’s a team player, a rather refreshing addition to our team…

how’s he to think when guys who used to make shots (McCants, Foye) suddenly couldn’t hit a shot if the rim were twice its size?

That was the WORST offensive performance I have ever seen in my 39 years of being a basketball fan. Everyone who hates McHale should be happy that he has to coach this sorry team! They need to spend the next 10 practices shooting jumpers and layups. They are the worst shooting team in the NBA. Ish!!!!!!

McHale might quit soon, and I could seriously see Danny Ainge adding him as a scout for the celtics or McHale would do what Kareem does for the Lakers.

I think Miller was a big fan of Amazing Grace & Chuck and thinks the cold war is still going on.
