Sam Amick/Sacramento Bee on Rashad McCants:
If he keeps scoring like this, the storyline and stats could make him a definite candidate for Most Improved Player.
While his usage rate is high, his average of 18.6 points per game on
25.2 minutes is impressive. And for the record, I was told he has the
green light from the T-Wolves’ brass to use that ball all he wants as
they want him to dominate as often as possible.

Also from Amick:
"Coach Bill" should be banned. The local stockbroker/season-ticket
holder from the Minnesota area is still a mainstay in the Target
Center, still crouching during games with one knee nearly on the
playing court and one clenched fist fixed to the side of his head while
wearing his fancy suit. He pounds his game program on the floor and –
against the Kings – nearly gave players broken ankles as they almost
tripped over him. He was a good-luck charm when the T-Wolves were good.
Now? Get him back in his seat.

Stephen Litel/Downtown Journal on McCants:
In the end, everything worked out. His stats were more than
respectable, the Wolves won and he’ll receive loads of praise the next
few days. Yet, if Shaddy is going to continue to choose not to run the
offense as he did against Sacramento, we’ll see ticked off teammates
more often, like Jefferson in Sacramento on Saturday.

The Wolves site has postgame interviews with some of the players from last night.
"He was hungry for a win," said Kings guard Kevin Martin, who led the
team with 22 points. "They were all hungry for a win. He definitely
made some good moves."
