Kevin McHale Good Player, Bad GM

“Of the two first round picks, the Wolves took Ndubi Ebi. Ebi was probably the biggest bust of the first round picks. The Wolves also took Rick Rickert from the University of Minnesota in the second round. Many Thought it was a sympathy pick on Mchale’s part. Rickert never made the team and got in a fight with All-Star Kevin Garnett. Rickert was released and is no longer in the NBA.”

Ready to get back into the Spirit

“Centre Rick Rickert said the two-week break had come at a good time for the Breakers, who had been suffering from fatigue after a torrid schedule over the previous month. The club notched an impressive 6-1 away record in little over a month but the toll that had taken was clear when they fell flat on their faces against the revved-up Crocs.

“We’ve had a chance to really regroup and reflect on the first half of the season,” Rickert said. “Now we are excited to start playing again and I think we are in a good place.”

More often than not the Breakers have managed to come from behind, but their continued slow starts and inability to produce a strong first quarter are becoming concerns.

“Our starters have to come out with a better game mentality, get the stops early, run the offence and get easy baskets,” Rickert said. “It is attitude really. That is something we have addressed over the last two weeks and we are looking to make good on that.”
