Splain This to Me

How does Minny get knocked out of the playoffs and the Bulls, with all their injuries, the 0-9 start, and probably one of the youngest teams in the league, make it with home court 1st round?

Does this in any way reflect poorly on the talents/abilities of one "$$ poor" Latrell Spreewell?

Or maybe Mr McHale should take up golf?

Sprewell was too distracted thinking about how he was going to feed his family.

I think a large part of it has to do with the fact that the West is much tougher than the East, but your point is well taken.

The TWolves fell far this year, and there wasn't much reason as to why.

 

[IntenseOperator]

I figured the conference strength would come up Blackman, but I think Detroit won it last year. Overall, the West is stronger.

McHale canned the coach and all was suppose to be good with the world as Coach McHale stepped in.

 

[Blackman]

Oh I agree that Detriot and Miami could hang in the West, but if the Bulls were in the West I don't think they'd be in the playoffs either, too many tough games on a nightly basis.

But I agree the Twolves still have no excuse, weren't they the number 1 seed last year?

 

[IntenseOperator]

All I remember is I think it was the 1st year they actually advanced past the 1st round.

I dont think they have ever won a playoff series have they

 

[IntenseOperator]

Think the Bullies went 15-15 in their spot games vs the West.

I dont think they have ever won a playoff series have they

They definitely got by round one last year

 

[Blackman]

They were the number 1 seed, beat Nuggets in round 1, Kings in round 2, and lost to the Lakers in the West finals.
