Is it youth?

In part, some of it is youth. There is however an intangible that is missing, and will always be missing. The young former Celtics players know how to lose. They’ve done a lot of it the last couple of years. The Wolves players have also been losing a lot the last couple of years. And Brewer is not the answer.

The key will be to get a franchise player that will come in and turn the attitude of the team around. Until that time, the Wolves will be doomed to play as good as the Clippers or worse. Until the franchise gets that player, the Wolves will be stuck in the lottery.

That’s not to say the Wolves do not have young talent. They do. But if players do not remember or learn how to win, they find ways to lose, and soon just come to expect that. Let’s hope that McHale can make a huge trade in his favor. Otherwise, let’s hope that the next LeBron can be found for him in the draft. If not, look at the history of the Clippers, and realize that this will be the Wolves for years to come.
