randy wittman Stories - Canis Hoopus
You never know where zombies might attack
Wow, add this one to the Utah stack as a surprising, hard fought, late season win. While you can never really be sure what in the hell Don Nelson has going on late in the season with a terrible squad (the last time the Wolves played the Warriors, Nelly was experimenting with sitting his vets...
Up, up, and away
I have a long day of tile grouting ahead of me so this is going to be a short and sweet game wrap with nothing but bullet points. The Wolves have their 1st winning streak since April 11th and 12th, 2008. Kevin McHale is now 4-10 at the head of the bench; Witt was 4-15. I still think the...
The Mike Miller Farewell Tour
3 teams, 2 trades, 1 Kevin McHale. Before I go on, it's time for some personal accountability here at Hoopus. At the time of the O.J. Mayo trade I wrote this: Wow. That's highway f'ing robbery. That's worse than the Lakers deal. They just cleaned out the Wolves' entire stash of bad...
30 win team or more of the same?
Well that was certainly interesting. One game into the Kevin McHale era and the Wolves have given their fans a head-scratcher of a question: Is this the team most fans thought could reach the 30-win plateau or is it simply a carbon copy of the first few close games of the year that featured Witt...
The Glen and Kevin Show!!!
I've never been a fan of sequels. They're so hard to do. I'm more of an originals type of guy. I first tuned into the G&K show way back in 2005 when it was spun off from Flip & Friends. The above scene was taken from the original episode. It features Kevin going on and on about...
Kiss of Death
Ball Don't Lie beat me to the punch line, but the Wolves have a new head coach and no, it is not Basketball Jesus. What it is, is the kiss of death: "Kevin has assembled the players on this team, and believes in their talent and skill level," Taylor said. "It is my expectation that Kevin will...
8:24 AM, still employed
No need for a game wrap. You know what happened. Rock. Bottom. UPDATE: 11:28 AM and as far as we know both Kevin McHale and Randy Wittman are still employed. Peter continues his search for the real Timberwolves here. Question for our readers: Is is possible to run a franchise further into...
Beyond Witt's End: the Frustration Post
This, boys and girls, is a 2-3 zone. It's one of the very first defenses you learn when you start playing organized basketball. After man defense, it's probably the easiest defense of all for young players to grasp. To your Minnesota Timberwolves, it's kryptonite. For those of you who can...
No Magic
I can't remember exactly when it was in the game where Orlando figured out that they could run a player down the left side of the lane only to have a Minnesota wing player collapse in a slow-as-molasseses double team that would give the Magic a wide-open three point attempt from the wing. I' m...
Witt's end
It was a busy day yesterday for yours truly so I'd like to write a few words about the contest against Charlotte before I move on to the ostrich in the room. Each and every Wolves fan left should be well aware of the fact that this team is a...
