Wittman rips Wolves guards, and gets a win
Beating the Golden State Warriors isn’t exactly the same as upsetting the dominant Phoenix Suns, but after their most humiliating loss of the season to Houston, after which new coach Randy Wittman ripped his teams’ guards for underachieving, the team responded by posting their most dominant win of the season, a 121-93 romp.
Despite being such a guard-heavy team, the play of the Wolves guards, especially that of veterans Mike James and Ricky Davis, has been a thorn in the side of Coach Wittman. The new lineup for the Wolves puts the younger guards, especially rookie Randy Foye, in a bigger spotlight.
The Wolves posted 38 assists in the game, a season high, and despite the benching, James and Davis posted good nights. It’s nice the focus for the Wolves is back on the court and not on nightclub incidents or behavior that could lead to a future paternity test.
But whether the club has turned the corner yet or not remains to be seen. With the trade deadline fast approaching, if any changes are going to be made, they have to happen soon or wait until the off-season.
