He added: “I’m praying that they terminate it, I mean, because I don’t feel that I should have been a technician. But I and Ray had a good relationship, so we talked after the fact. But I still don’t think they seem like a technology for that little gesture.”
The minnesota game against jazz could be extremely consistent. Before the last day of the regular season, the team is Seventh at the West ConferenceBut it could end as high as fourth or as low as eighth. The wolves are among the four teams that have 32 or 33 losses.
