On one hand, the last two games have been the most entertaining of the year. The Wolves have played with a verve and enjoyment that we haven’t seen in a while–it finally looks at least a little bit fun (as opposed to, like, morbidly demoralizing) to be a Timberwolf. What’s more, there is some evidence that, just as has been suggested, McHale might actually know how to best deploy (not to mention coax) this strange collection of young dudes.
On the other hand, both of those games were losses.
When asked how much he thinks it will help having McHale as a mentor on a daily basis, Love asserted: “A ton. When he wasn’t the head coach he kind of had to sit back because I was learning so much and trying to absorb it all. But now he’s getting a lot more hands on. That feels good, too, to learn from a Hall of Fame guy and one of the best players ever.”
