This has to be the most embarrassing thing to happen to McHale yet. Beat by the guy he fired after building a 29 point lead. I can only hope Ryan is right and he’ll be fired tonight.

ryan - don’t bring the vikes into this. stupid comment and not really even that funny. try a little harder next time. blow a 29pt lead in the 2nd half?!?! it is because the wolves franchise has no pride in what they do. glen taylor you are pathetic and have no pride and make retarded decisions year in and year out. kevin mchale you are pathetic and don’t need to say much more than that. finally, wolves players - you are pathetic. don’t have pride and refuse to play defense. take a look in the mirror guys!

Well they blew a 29 pt lead. My god, that is almost Viking-like. It wouldn’t surprise me if McHale is fired tonight. Seriously, this is disgusting.

I was watching the UConn-Georgetown game last night to get a look at Hasheem Thabeet and see how he would perform in a big game and I gotta say I was really disappointed in what I saw from him.
Not only did he look completely lost on offense but he appeared to be about as athletic as Brian Cardinal or Kevin Love. I knew he wouldn’t quite be “NBA” ready after this year but I didn’t think he would be this big of a project.

On offense he is only effective through strong creative guard play or off of second chance points. He has very poor post up skills and seems to get lost and drift around the court about every third possession. His help defense is very good (he had 7 blocks) and he is definitely a presence in the middle. The main problem is that he can’t guard anyone more than 10 feet from the rim b/c of his lack of athleticism.

He would definitely be an improvement for our defense but I’m not sure how long we would have to work with him to get any sort of offensive contribution from him. I like the idea of having a real shot blocker but as alot of people have mentioned, we need to get more athletic and Thabeet is definitely not that.

Showcasing Cardinal was a joke, I thought obvious but I guess not.

Hey El Douchbag,
What exactly would be the point of moving the team? So we can enjoy watching the NBA from afar, ala Seattle? What is your point, man? You don’t like the NBA, go buy a season ticket to the Lynx games. I hear the price is good, and you can even peek under their shorts during timeouts.

Showcasing Cardinal would be pointless. His contract is too big for his worth, no one will trade for him until 2010. Playing him is McHale’s way of saying he knows his job is on the line and he wants to play the guys he thinks will give the team the best chance to win. Which is stupid in this case since Carney is a better player anyway.

Also stupid was not picking up the option on Carney’s contract. I don’t know why McHale thought he could resign the kid for less this summer. I’m convinced that even though McHale barely ever plays him, Carney will command at least what his option was worth, if not more this summer.

As for Flip, I won’t even guess what the future between him and the Wolves will be. But I am convinced that McHale will be gone at the end of the season, so we’ll have to find someone.

Mayo is already a go to guy and we run 3 or 4 plays in a total game for Love, hmmm? We are going to win just enough and not get the most ping pong balls.

P.A’s inside “sources” are about as accurate as Sid’s.

If they bring back Flip I will officially end all support of this franchise.

Michael Cage, you were ahead of your time as a short 6′9″ C and a little underated.

P.A. said that his “sources” tell him that McHale has a 2 year deal as coach, but that he will not see the second year and Flip will coach here again next year.
