They won their last 2 games convincingly.

Weird timing after two straight wins but they're still under .500 and this has been building for some time. Things must've been really bad behind the scenes for Taylor to pay up and finally get rid of him.

Have to feel good for KAT and his knees though. Thibs just had the starters in the game in the last five minutes when up by 25 today.

Wolves are lowkey an awful organization.

Unless I'm missing something here, it's like he has yet to learn from the D-Rose incident in 2012.

lols they would hire hoiberg

I remember when people was talking about how good Thibedeoux was and how he had been treated UNFAIRLY in Chicago
The fact is he was not that good of a coach

 

[Voight]

He was a great hire at the time and there was a lot of potential at the time. The Butler fiasco goes both ways, Jimmy Buckets is a bit of a locker room cancer and see now even with Philly that he really isnt easy to coach or get along with.

Whomever they hire needs to let Towns loose.

thibs's abrasive style doesn't fly in today's NBA

he's an old school coach and the only one of those that gets a pass is pop

 

[dahrougem2]

I wonder if Wiggins stops sucking under whoever the new coach is.

 

[tony d]

The Wolves seemed to be on the brink of some big things as recent as a yr. ago. They're really fallen off. Hiring Hoiberg as coach could make things worse.

Kevin Garnett's MVP season of 2003-2004.
That was a long time ago..

You mean Kevin Garnett made it out of the 1st round

 

[John Price]

Yeah Wolves have always been pretty lackluster

They're stocked with talent this year and inexplicably are struggling. How do you even regress from last year?
