Timberwolves' coach Kevin McHale believes that his players need to undergo a "mind shift".

"The X's and O's are easy," McHale said of re-working the team's offense. "I can draw up all kinds of stuff. It's getting the guys to play a little bit faster and (with) a little bit more pace. That takes a little bit of time."

He isn't trying to create a run-and-gun offense necessarily, though, when he mentions speeding up the team's offense.

"When you talk about faster, I'm not going to say fast-break points," McHale said. "I'm talking getting the ball to Al (Jefferson) and our main cogs with 16, 17 seconds on the shot clock as opposed to seven or eight. It's not coming down and jack it. It's getting in to your main people earlier."
