Anti-McHale Fans Booted From Game

The lid of the Minnesota Timberwolves franchise has officially been flipped: from excellent Wolves blog I Heart KG.com we learn that Target Center security booted two fans from the game last night for waving around 'Fire McHale' paraphernalia.

Kevin McHale, of course, is the best executive in sports. Or not. Here's I Heart KG's Lil Dice:

The guy with the sign [pictured above] was one of two people booted from the game for walking around with anti-McHale signs late in the 4th quarter. The other guy kicked out was also wearing a "Fire McHale" t-shirt. From the way they were handled by security, you would have thought they were buying underage girls alcohol at a sold out Slayer show instead of providing 30 seconds worth of entertainment during a lackluster game in an almost empty arena.

It's not clear what, if anything, the fans did to deserve expulsion other than have a brain and two eyes. Even if they were heckling McHale or any other Wolf decision-maker, shouldn't the franchise be glad someone showed up to witness the greatest two-week tank job in the history of sports? Hopefully, we hear more about this episode. Maybe it is actually (shock!) lead to some changes in Minny as McHale continues to prove he is terrible at his job.
