Saunders being blamed for Minni issues

Well, if you are Minnesota Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor, you blame it all on Flip Saunders, the guy he fired three years ago, just months after Saunders led the Timberwolves to the Western Conference finals.
Talk about revisionist history -- this is a classic.

Re: Saunders being blamed for Minni issues

When he eventually gets fired from the pistons in february, the unnamed sources in the pistons organization will get him..............it is just a matter of time.

Re: Saunders being blamed for Minni issues

As is most of the time, McCosky twists things to Flip's defense. However, I don't think Taylor did his franchise any favors with his comments.

Re: Saunders being blamed for Minni issues

The most we will hear from Pistons - "Flip is not a very good coach".

He flamed out every post-season with the Wolves.

Re: Saunders being blamed for Minni issues

Hard to know the truth here when you're dealing with two Grade-A wackos: Taylor and McCrapsky.

The West has been tough (Lakers, Spurs, Mavs, etc.) and the T-Wolves never had enough pieces to win it all. I think you have to give Saunders credit for taking over a very weak team 10 years ago and then leading it to 8 consecutive playoff appearances in a very deep conference.
