I was 100% sure he was the right man for the job, but maybe he's a bit too hardcore and intense for these kids. Maybe these pussi....ah kids need the softly softly approach. That team's too talented not to make a run this year, by run I mean aim for the playoffs.
I watched them last night and I think I might agree. I kinda compare them to the Lakers, who brought in two main veterans with winning experience, Mozgov and Djeng. They also have a head coach and assistant coach who've been their before and are part of the Lakers' legacy.
At halftime, they had McHale, Chris Webber and Greg Anthony talking about how the Timberwolves don't know how to win and close out games and are missing the veteran presence I mentioned above. McHale also said something interesting that they press too much and you have to learn how to win when you're not having a great game or playing badly, and they haven't developed that skill yet.
If you looked at the Warriors game against the Pacers, Draymond Green only had two points and Curry was 1-5 from the three. Durant only had 20, which he does in his sleep. They still won by 40.
