But here’s the nasty chaser: Despite its 13-17 record over the past two
months, and 8-10 mark since Foye claimed the point guard slot in the
starting lineup, the Wolves continue to be routinely trounced when
playing quality ballclubs. Over the past 30, their record is 9-5
against sub-.500 teams, 1-0 against the .500 Philadelphia 76ers, and
3-12 versus teams that have won more than they’ve lost. In the 18 since
Foye took the point guard reins, those figures are 6-3 versus sub.500,
1-0 against Philly, and 1-7 against over-.500 ballclubs.

next on the veteran’s contract. And coach Randy Wittman said the
present plans are not to play Walker unless somebody gets hurt. Walker
