Wolves Updates
Dwane Casey on KG not being an All-Star game starter:"I'm disappointed," Casey said. "Kevin's meant so much to the game and (been) so important to the league, not only just basketball, but the community and what he stands for. I'm disappointed the fans didn't see it that way. There's no way the coaches can keep him out. It would be a travesty if he's not on the all-star team."
Even though there's got to be some jealousy and other mixed (but mostly negative) feelings as the new players eat up playing time for the other Twolves, Mad Dog always finds a way to put a good spin on it:
"We have a guy who watches out for the locker room. Kevin Garnett makes sure that everyone feels integrated, on and off the court," Madsen said. "Troy Hudson has no ego. Anthony Carter has no ego. That goes 1 through 13 [on the roster]. If you notice, those are two of the guys who are up giving high-fives in timeouts. There is a sense of harmony on this team, no matter who's playing."
Nikoloz Tskitishvili is happy to be in Phoenix. He asked McHale and Jim Stack to let him go to a team that wants him and says he got his wish. Coach D'Antoni thinks "there's some potential" in Skita which better be the case if the dude was drafted before Amare Stoudemire.
