Randy Wittman may be hitching a ride out of Minnesota very soon.A few weeks ago, Ziller brilliantly discussed the many ways in which Randy Wittman was failing in his attempt to coach the Timberwolves. And if you can believe it, things may have actually gotten worse for Wittman since then.
The ridiculous headline comes courtesy of Al Jefferson's post-game comments, following his team's thrashing at the hands of the (excited!) L.A. Clippers. The press was beginning to prod about whether or not Wittman should be allowed to stay around much longer, when Jefferson basically said that it didn't matter who was running the show if the players didn't fix things on their own.
"They could do whatever they wanted to do," Jefferson said of Wolves management. "But it starts right here in this locker room with us. Jesus Christ himself could come out here and coach us, but if we don't go out there and play hard and play together, it won't mean nothing."Kevin McHale is not walking through that door! Jesus Christ is not walking through that door! Fantastic. Wittman himself sounded like he half expects to be fired anyday now, saying "when you get hired, you're bound to get fired." Really? I'm not positive, but I'm fairly certain that Phil Jackson has never made that statement.

Maybe you could send your blog down to Phoenix and remind Terry Porter about that quote.

I'm very offended by the insensitive remark about my Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus, The Messiah. It is blasphemous on the part of all who contributed to this entry. Our Savior died so that all might choose to be saved. My Bible says that this is His primary interest -- and not sports per se. Let's respect church and state.
