Let me get this straight. The Minnesota Timberwolves have an inconsistent team, so they fire their coach, Duane Casey. This is a team put together by Kevin McHale.

With the exception of drafting Kevin Garnett in 1996, Kevin McHale hasn’t done anything productive to help the team build that much needed cohesiveness.

We’re going to change all of that…I promise. Promise is such a strong word. How about try? Maybe.
