I know a few of us have been calling for this for quite some time. You guys work fast with the threads, lol. JB Bickerstaff/Schiting will do ok as an interim until we get someone else.

I miss Casey. He did so well with so little. I didnt want him gone unless we were upgrading and we def didnt upgrade. He had McCants playing defense, Foye was clutch-er than a muddafugga. Im sure KG had a lot of effect on the kids but still, Casey made them believe.

I wish a petition would actually work.

Also, what has Flip been doing since the Pistons let him go?

Laughing his butt off at the crater he left here after he was fired. We have been a smouldering mess ever since.

you just have to call the bird hunter to catch the owl...

I'm so sick of that dude. I want a real coach. if it would be guaranteed that Witt will be fired if we start like 1-10 I'd be all for losing the next games

I'm not usually one to jump on the coach so early but it is painfully obvoius Wittless doesn't know what to do. I'm on board the wagon.

I think the bigger problem is that nobody on the team plays defense. John Salmons easily getting to the rim whenever he wants and then once he gets there, no problem for the 6'7 small forward to gather himself and shoot a layup.

Brad Miller repeatedly driving to the hoop for layups, truly unbelievable, it looks like it's happening in slow motion, but he succeeds every time.

Kevin Martin driving baselines, jumps into the body of Al Jefferson to draw the foul - how is it that 135 lb Kevin Martin can dare dive into Al Jefferson without fear of being destroyed? When Foye drove into Diop in the Dallas game he got a 2 handed block so forceful it sent him crashing to the ground, but people attack Jefferson with no fear.

I'm starting to understand Worm Guts' prediction that the Jefferson/Love frontcourt won't work because they're too weak defensively and that one of them will have to be traded eventually. Either that or the Wolves will need lock-down defenders on the perimeter because right now guys beat their man off the dribble at will, then score at the rim without any interior defensive presence at all. Thats why the Wolves are repeatedly giving up 30+ points a quarter
