T'Wolves to fire Rambis

[BRNC]

Looks like another HC position will soon be open...


Adrian Wojnarowski (http://twitter.com/WojYahooNBA): Y! Sources: Minnesota has decided to fire coach Kurt Rambis, but will wait until after NBA Draft to make it official. http://tinyurl.com/638jy4o about 10 minutes ago (http://twitter.com/WojYahooNBA/statuses/83694944988041216)

Eric Pincus (http://twitter.com/EricPincus): I'm not going to pretend Rambis did a great job in Minny but I wrote an article late in year pointing out what he had to work with 4 minutes ago (http://twitter.com/EricPincus/statuses/83696601377406977)

Larry Brown has offered himself to Minnesota...wow.

Didn't he try for Northwestern or something too?


Dude is whoring himself around trying to get work. Needs to go home.

Needs to go home.

Home being the nursing home.

IMO, they should've kept him. Everyone gives Rambis a bad wrap, but I see him as having a very Phil Jackson-esque style. Very calm, very relaxed, and very organized and detail oriented. If he could've gotten those guys to execute the triangle the team would've been better, but I think they should've given him a year with Rubio because he's not a bad coach.

Seem to be leaning towards Bernie Bickerstaff.

I feel for the T-Wolves and think they actually have good pieces for a nice, young core. Hopefully they can get a coach who can utilize and motivate that talent successfully. I just get tired of every national media outlet and hack writer giving the T-Wolves shit and I'd love to see them have it thrown back in their faces by the team actually coming together and playing well.

I think the Wolves will forever be one of "those teams". I mean think about the position they were in 10 years ago with KG, Cassell, Sprewell and almost winning 60 games just to lose in the WCF. They have poor fan following and had poor fan following even when they were good with one of the biggest stars in the game. I think they're cursed, and just like KG, K-Love will probably move on to a big city contender in the coming years.

I've never been a fan of folks that (to be blunt) shit-where-they-eat...that's what LB does and everyone knows it...I guess doing it to a guy that rescued your career (MJ) and is suppose to be friend was the final nail for LB...

Speaking of Minnesota, anyone see this gem?
