After his team completed its first 60-loss season since he accepted the job 13 years ago, Timberwolves vice president of basketball operations Kevin McHale on Thursday said he is committed to his job; returning to the playoffs and headed toward a championship, a development he claimed is not as far away as you might think.

McHale said he thinks the Wolves—a team that won five of its first 39 games after being completely remade after last summer's Kevin Garnett trade—can follow their 22-60 season by winning as many as 20 more games next season in a league that he says has few great teams.

That is, if the Wolves stay healthy. Guard Randy Foye missed this season's first three months, an absence McHale deemed significant in his team's slow start.

Yes, those draft prospects are exciting, said Kevin McHale, but not as much as this team's 20-something core. He warned of the danger of pinning further development on a bunch of pingpong balls.

Randy Foye took full advantage of the five extra minutes added to his injury-shortened season, helping the Minnesota Timberwolves finish a forgettable season on a winning note. "I'm definitely glad it's in the rearview mirror," said Foye, who scored 10 of his career-high 32 points in overtime.

Flip Saunders only cares about one more thing in the regular season. He wants his Detroit Pistons to get through Wednesday's game in Cleveland without an injury. After Detroit's 115-103 victory over Minnesota on Tuesday night, Saunders said he wasn't worried about someone getting hurt in the meaningless game against the Cavaliers, but he knocked on the wooden table as he said it.
