	City Pages - Two Cheers for Kevin McHale
		Kevin McHale may be a “breath of fresh air” and a head-pattin', back-slappin' mood enhancer for his players, but the bottom line--daunting mediocrity--remains unchanged since Flip Saunders was canned a little over two weeks ago.
		McHale has also been better than Saunders at coming to grips with the most important change in the way the game is played this season--the tighter officiating on defenders hand-checking their opponent.
		Another is McHale's emphasis on driving to the hoop rather than passing the ball around the horn to set up open jumpers, which, as everyone knows, was Flip's signature style.

		So McHale has evidently promised the Wolves owner that he won’t be trading Kevin Garnett… which just infuriates me. We, as basketball fans, deserve to see Kevin Garnett in the playoffs on a regular basis, and for more than just 4 or 5 games.
		Kevin McHale should be forced to relinquish his jaguar.

		After two seasons in which his team went 77-87, changed coaches twice and shed all but four players from the 2004 conference finals squad, McHale has his work cut out for him this offseason.
		He will be looking for talent in the NBA draft, for help via trades and free agency and for confidence from Twin Cities fans and one cranky superstar (Kevin Garnett) so that, with some midlevel tweaking, the Wolves again can pursue a championship.
