: It might be time for T-Wolves to start over
這也許是灰狼進行重整的時機了

: Everything seemed beautiful Sunday for the Minnesota Timberwolves.
: Superstar Kevin Garnett had 37 points, 10 rebounds and four steals
: to knock the previously hot Sacramento Kings off their perch.
星期天每件事對明尼蘇達灰狼隊來說似乎都很美好，超級巨星KG拿下37分、10籃板及4
抄截幫助球隊打敗前陣子表現超火的沙加緬度國王隊。
: But that was Sunday.
: They haven't had many beautiful Sundays in a long time.
不過那僅止於這星期天一天，灰狼很長一段時間以來都沒有過這麼美好的星期天了。
: 1. Item: With the win over the Kings, the Timberwolves ended a seven-game
: losing streak, but they're still hopelessly out of the playoffs for the
: second consecutive season with a 27-39 mark.
第一：因為擊敗國王，灰狼終於結束了最近的七連敗。不過以他們目前27勝39敗的戰
績想要藉由最後這十幾場比賽翻身，挺進季後賽，機會相當渺茫，他們應該會連續第二季
與季後賽失之交臂。
: What this really means: This unmitigated mess has the media from coast to
: coast predicting Garnett demanding a trade after the season, rookie coach
: Dwane Casey buried in the rubble and owner Glen Taylor with any number of
: ideas to turn things around in their worst season since Flip Saunders
: replaced Bill Blair as coach 20 games into the 1995-96 season. From the
: time Saunders became coach until he was suddenly fired 51 games into the
: 2004-05 season, they experienced unprecedented success. And despite the
: 19-12 record as general manager Kevin McHale replaced Saunders to finish
: last season, they failed to the make the playoffs for the first time since
: Saunders' initial season.
這真正的涵義是：灰狼近來荒腔走板的表現讓美國從東岸到西岸所有的媒體不約而同
地預測狼王在本季結束之後會要求球隊將他交易出去，菜鳥教頭D.Casey會被"耕出ㄎㄧ
ㄉㄞˊ"，而老闆G.Taylor出的許多餿主意將使得球隊打出自老桑於'95-'96球季進行了20
場比賽時接手B.Blair成為總教練後最糟的球季。自老桑成為總教練直到'04-'05球季進行
了51場比賽他突然解聘這段時間，球隊體驗了空前的勝利滋味。儘管上季末球隊在總管K.
McHale接手教練後打出19勝12敗的成績，他們還是嘗到自老桑執教以來第一次被排在季後
賽窄門之外的失敗。
: It would be an exaggeration to say the collapse has come primarily
: because they hastily fired Saunders, but it has certainly played a huge
: role. What is even more obvious is McHale has horribly failed to build
: any kind of consistent cast around Garnett. In fact, today's roster only
: includes defensive-oriented Trent Hassell and minor role player Mark Madsen
: from the team that went to the conference finals in 2004. And when you
: consider that shaky characters Ricky Davis, Rashad McCants and Eddie Griffin
: are the talents expected to grow around him — perhaps it's time for Taylor
: to overhaul the entire organization — from McHale to Garnett — and start
: from scratch.
如果說灰狼變得一蹶不振純粹是因為球隊太匆忙地將老桑解聘，這未免有點言過其實
，當然這是灰狼表現不佳的主因之一，但其實更明顯的原因是McHale在以KG為主軸打造球
隊陣容這一點上面的表現完全不及格。事實上，現在球隊的陣容與'04年他們闖進西區冠軍
賽時相比，除了KG，只剩下防守大鎖T.Hassell及渾身是勁可惜作用不大的瘋狗Madson還留
在陣中。也許你還認為R.Davis、RMC及E.Griifin等備受期待，天份、體能兼具的跳跳人能
在KG帶領之下順利成長，但事實上這更應該是Taylor徹底審視整個球團組織 - 從McHale到
KG - 並從新開始的時候了。
