remember lying in bed when the news of Ryan Saunders’ firing broke. “Well, they finally did it,” I thought. No one who was following the Minnesota Timberwolves this season should be surprised Saunders was eventually let go.
You can have the worst record in the NBA without Karl-Anthony Towns, but you cannot have a 1-6 record in his first seven games back, too. It seems Gersson Rosas waited for Towns to return and things still didn’t improve. It’s not like the team was getting rolled every night, but blowing winnable games late due to questionable coaching decisions likely didn’t sit any better.
