Wolves Updates 4/7 Part 2

Timberwolves forward Al Jefferson said he has to get
in better shape during the offseason because he wouldn’t have been able
to handle the playoffs this season.
 
"I feel like if we were to start the playoffs in two
weeks, I’d have a mental breakdown," Jefferson said today at practice
for the Timberwolves, who are 19-57 and out of playoff contention.
"That’s why I’ve got to do a better job this summer of getting my body
in great shape because I plan on being in the playoffs real soon.
 
"I really feel like if we started the playoffs this year, my body would break down and I would have a mental breakdown, too."
 
 
 
Foye’s most egregious mistakes this year–some weird statements about
the point guard position, for example, and a lack of deference and
feeding of Jefferson at crunchtime in favor of taking the shot–make
more sense if you consider that he’s had to grapple with a setback in
the pecking order as well as physically with his own body this season…

Charlotte Bobcats forward Gerald Wallace is out for Tuesday’s game
against the Minnesota Timberwolves and it’s possible a doctor’s
appointment Tuesday could end his season.
