Ben Stiller was right, after all. When it comes to the Wolves, reality does bite. Fans can tell themselves they're braced, even enthused, about rebuilding but when you see it on the court...yikes!
Yeah, the second pre-season game--against real competition--was pretty bad. However, we're going to have a wait quite awhile, probably a season or two, before this whole thing shakes out. But the underlying premise still remains:
Why would anyone think acquiring young talent from a previously awful team--Boston--would yield significant dividends?
Sure, we got Big Al, and maybe Ryan Gomes will be a great glue guy, but seems at first glance that we've created a real mess, and have added many more questions than answers. Plus, we still have the Iron Ranger and Clueless Glen at the helm who created the mess. Even Donald Sterling looks more competent than we do. And, after all the comings and goings, it looks like we STILL need a point guard.
It's early yet, but unless we see real progress--beyond the moral victories--it's going to be hard not to be negative about the direction this club is going. It could be the Wolves will go the way of Winona Ryder, swiftly descending into mediocrity, bordering on irrelevance.
