MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Randy Wittman was fired as coach of the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday, two days after an embarrassing 23-point loss at home to the last-place Los Angeles Clippers. Kevin McHale took over as coach, leaving his job as the club's vice president of basketball operations.

The young team has a 4-15 record and has not responded to Wittman's demands for tough defense. The Timberwolves are in the midst of a five-game losing streak in which the average margin of defeat has been nearly 17 points.

"There were certain goals and expectations that we had for this team at the start of the season, and we have not lived up to them," Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor said in a statement.

"I am disappointed in our record and believe that we have more talent than our record indicates. A change had to be made and with three-fourths of the season remaining, there is still time to make substantial progress this year," he added.

That's great. Force McHale to coach the mess he created. He can look at the garbage he has for a backcourt every day and wonder what insane thought drove him to pass on Roy and Mayo.

Bingo.

Kevin Love? You've got to go with Mayo at that pick.

Who'd they take over Roy?
 
They drafted Roy but they traded him for Randy Foye from Villanova. Obviously not working out too well for them so far.

Hey speaking of the Sixers R&R, when are we going to fire cheeks and save our season?
