Timberwolves Up to Old Tricks
I was hoping to start this Timberwolves blog post with an “OMG, the Timberwolves did it again.” Meaning the Twolves beat the Detroit Pistons twice this season, but the Timberwolves were up to their old tricks last night at the Target Center and squandered away an eleven point lead and lost to the Pistons 89-98.
In the post game interview, Kevin McHale gave credit to the Pistons but pointed out the Timberwolves own problems including four fast-break points, eight offensive rebounds and 16 free-throw attempts as partial evidence of a loss that he called "self-inflicted."
"That has not been our M.O. for a while," he said. "For me sitting there, it felt like we just could never get out of second gear."
I got a chuckle out of that - yeah it hasn’t been your M.O. for the month of January, but what about the first half of the season? They say it’s hard to teach an old dog (or wolf) new tricks – McHale has tried to reprogram this team, but fans were quickly reminded of the Timberwolves ability to wimp out in the fourth quarter. Tough games coming up, too. Lakers and Celtics. I better get buckled in, this could be a bumpy week.

Timberwolves Roster changes in puzzling ways
I am never quite sure I understand Kevin McHale. I don’t think any one does. I don’t slam him as often as other Timberwolves fans and Timberwolves bloggers do, but if he has a plan for this team, I am not sure what it is and I would like to know.
Yesterday, the Timberwolves confirmed that they worked out a deal with the Philadelphia 76ers that moved Rodney Carney and Calvin Booth to the Timberwolves. It was a weird exchange and if you want to read about it, you will have to check out the local paper because I am in no mood to explain it. What I would like explained to me is “why?” Neither of these players will make a difference on the Timberwolves team next year. Is McHale building an arsenal of players he can trade away for one big guy? If that is the case, some one needs to explain that to the fans because I am losing interest really fast. A group of no namers plus Al Jefferson are not going to win the NBA Championship, they just aren’t. They are going to get stomped on and thrown around. We need bigger guys. I think it is time for Glen Taylor to think about making more changes than just what is on the roster sheet. McHale needs to go and he can take Randy with him. If we are starting fresh with new players, why not start with new managers, too.
The offseason should be a time of hope, but I am stuck in despair.
