Dan Barreiro/KFAN on Coach Casey:
Instead of pouting, Casey has put his nose to the grindstone and has the Wolves playing improved ball.. Most notably, he is extracting more from Mark Blount than many of us thought the center had in him. Even better, he has convinced Kevin Garnett to take big fourth-quarter shots.
