KG and the Celtics will play game 2 of the NBA finals today against the Lakers. I am rooting for Kevin Garnett because he definitely deserves a chance at a title. Unfortunately, the Timberwolves front office wasn't smart enough to give him the help he needed to bring a title to Minnesota. Before KG came to town, the T-wolves were a laughing stock, picking in the top 5 of the lottery every year. They were just a team other teams would beat up on, sort of the Bobcats of that time period. KG made the Wolves relevant as he led them to 8 straight playoff appearances and one Western Conference Final. What a waste it was for the Timberwolves to have one of the best players in the league for all those years and not take advantage of it. They never made the move or brought in the guy who could be second option. One year after going out and getting Cassell and Sprewell and making a long playoff run, the Wolves fell apart completely. 4 straight years without the playoffs, hiring a coach with no trakc record and continuing to employ Kevin McHale has turned this team back into a laughing stock again. Watching KG in the finals had made me really despise what Glen Taylor and Kevin McHale have done to this franchise and it's going to be hard to follow and root for the T-Wolves ever again. Let's hope the Celts can pull this out for KG.
