It was a night that no Timberwolves fan will ever forget. The Timberwolves, leading their playoff series with the Denver Nuggets 3-1, were poised to break out of the first-round after seven years of failure. In my last article before that momentous occasion, I took a moment to look back at all the Wolves had endured. This piece is #2 of my Top 10 Favorite Timberwolves Articles.
no commentsKevin Garnett’s incredible TNT interview during the 2005 All-Star Break revealed a side that most of his fans had never seen. It was a side of him that made us more proud than ever before to call him our hero. After watching the leader of our team break down in tears over the state of the franchise, I had to do my small part to let KG know how much he means to this team and how deep my respect is for him. To this day, I don’t know if Kevin has ever read this letter, but I know that many of his fans have. And if nothing else, it’s stood as a testament to the character of this team’s leader and the love that his fans have for him. “My Letter to Kevin Garnett” is #3 of my Top 10 favorite Wolves articles.
no commentsIt is unquestionably the biggest game in Timberwolves history: Game 7 versus the Kings in the 2004 playoffs.

My preview of that career-defining game is #4 of 10 of my favorite Timberwolves articles.

no commentsAll I have to say is that if Dwane Casey is still the head coach when I wake up in the morning…
I don’t even know what I’ll do, but it won’t be good. I know it was the players playing and not the coach, but where were the timely timeouts? Where were the offensive sets? Where was any semblance of a game plan or an attempt to stop the bleeding before things got out of hand?
34-7 is on the coach.
