NBA T - Wolves

What happened to the Minnesota Timberwolves?

It's amazing how a team with so much talent has completely fallen apart. Just think about it....
Last year this team won 50 + games and were two wins away from the NBA finals. Now they are barely over .500 and will most likely miss the playoffs with an identical roster.

First the team stopped listening to their coach. Flip Saunders lost his touch after nearly 10 years as head coach. They also failed to add young players. They were assuming that Sprewell and Cassell would have good seasons again. You know what happens when you assume. Cassell has been injured most of the season and is clearly on the downside of his career. Sprewell reverted back to his old ways. Frustrated by not being offered a new contract, Sprewell pouted and said he couldn't afford to feed his family. So he plays when he feels like it. So last year's MVP, Kevin Garnett is basically alone once again. Only Wally Szczerbiak has helped Garnett consistently.

But the biggest difference is that this team has stopped playing defense. Teams score at will against them and don't respect them anymore. This is why they will be on the outside looking in when the playoffs begin. What a shame. All that talent wasted.
