We, Timberwolves fans have read it so many times about the team only making the playoffs once in the past 15 years. That is really pathetic but, it is fitting. It’s the truth. Over the last 15 seasons, the team has really sucked. The team hasn’t been relevant since before the only superstar player was traded away to the Celtics for a few draft picks, a few underwhelming players and a toaster. Ok, the toaster wasn’t included but, it should have been.

The truth of the matter is the team has been drowning in NBA Purgatory ever since Kevin McHale traded away the biggest, most talented player to ever play for the Wolves…. Kevin Garnett.
