The NBA just suspended K.G. for a game for hitting Milwaukee’s Andrew Bogut in the face on Saturday. He’ll sit tomorrow’s game against the Knicks and will be back for games Thursday against Detroit and, most importantly, for Friday’s return to Target Center against the Wolves.
From Britt Robson/On The Ball (note: Robson’s site has moved to this address.)
But I don’t remember a team as mentally screwed up as this one has been the past two weeks. I don’t remember a team consistently playing well enough to post double-digit second-half leads on various opponents and then figuring out a thousand different little ways to disfigure their self-respect, to unfurl a potpourri of ineptitude that goes waaay beyond a failure to box out or a lack of ball movement or a bone-headed play-call or substitution. Forget about mental toughness; this is a team without survival skills, a ballclub silently pleading to be blown apart.
HoopsHype has video of Randy Foye talking about Coach Wittman, coming off the bench, and the team not being able to close out games.
