"watch Phoenix, Washington, Seattle and Dallas"
Yep, and I add Grizz, and add Pistons. I only bother with watching Heat if it's a close/losing game.
There's nobody in the EC to worry but the Pistons.

Yeah I guess it's got nothing to do with the fact that Cassell and Sprewell combined are scoring ten points per game less than last year, 2.5 assists per game less than last year, 1.5 rebounds less per game than last year, and one steal per game less than last year, and Cassell is shooting 17% lower from the three point line.
I guess somehow that's all Kevin Garnetts fault even though his numbers are virtually identical to last year except that he's scoring two points less and his block shots are down about one but are still at his career average....
Where is wolves00Jackass lately? I am kinda hoping that the Wolves play the Spurs in the first round so he comes back just to get owned some more.
Percantages matter here, not PPG. McHale is trying to push more offense through Spree, sure, hes getting 25 points or so lately but on 25 or so shots. Sammy is this years version of Troy. You never know if he's healthy or not.
Sprewel is a true all star, Manu is a hot dog.Quote:

I don't understand this visceral and unjustified hatred towards Garnett. Actually, I can understand the hatred, because that's pure emotion, but I don't get slagging him as a player. As if one player is entirely responsible for his team.Quote:

Not a one of them would start for the Spurs. In fact who on the Wolves would even get PT with the Spurs? Cassell (if healthy) or Hudson would play over Beno. Szczerbiak would play over Barry. Hoiberg would play a bit. And Johnson might get Massenburg's minutes. That's it. But, yeah, that has nothing to do with why the Spurs are 15-20 games ahead of the Wolves, it's all because Garnett isn't a "true MVP." What the fuck ever.
Yer dumb.

I agree that you can't necessarily FAULT Garnett for their slide this year after last year... mainly because last year's success was predicated on the fact that Cassell had quite possibly the best season of any NBA guard last year and Sprewell also overachieved. Had both of those two played at their normal levels last year, it probably would have been another typical Wolves season. Maybe Sam Cassell was really the 2004 MVP, and not KG?
This year, they are woefully underachieving. The reason KG gets so much of the criticism is probably because he got so much of the credit last year. That comes with being an elite player. And it's not very common to see an elite player struggle to make the Playoffs, no matter what's going on around him.
"I actually want LA to get it rather than Minn. I think SA sweeps LA and beats Minn in 5."
TWolves sneak into 8th or be "gone fishin".
I can't see MIN stealin in above 8th. They're already 4.5 GB of 7th seed Grizz, with just 24 games left.
this offseason kg ask out?
:drunk + :smokin = Wolves009Quote:

Minnesota will get nearly $20 million off the books with Earv and Spree next year. Unfortunately thats not good enough for the 4th highest payroll. I was hoping a trade would have been done more in the case to free up cap room.
I think Karl is overated, he reminds me of Flip alot. But any coach that sits Carmelo's loser ass down is good with me.
nug, wolves, lakers slug it out for 8th.
Not very probable that the Griz, or any team above Griz, would drop below 7th, nor Clips come up from 11th.
Can we assume that teams to occupy any seed 1 - 7 are set now? My guess is yes.
