Kevin Garnett is exploring a potential purchase of the Minnesota Timberwolves with a group of investors, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania. Current Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor told The Athletic's Jon Krawczyniski that he is exploring several options as far as possibly selling his team. Taylor has owned the Timberwolves since 1994, representing the vast majority of their existence. Minnesota Vikings owner Zygi Wilf is also a serious candidate to buy the team, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Good bounce back win for the Blazers today. Crazy race in the west. Four teams within 1.5 games of eighth with only two games left (well, Phoenix still has three). Fight to the finish.

Tough nite for Philly, Ben Simmons dislocated kneecap.
Looks like another first-round playoff exodus for the Sixers. And the end of the Brett Brown era.
Yup, and no you have to worry about Simmons and his ability to stay healthy. He's starting to become the Sixers' equivalent of Eric Lindros - immense talent, but always missing games due to injury.

Who?
I know Wilt may be before your time but he's the one who once scored 100 points in an NBA game.
And he'll be gone in the first round yet again. I like him and he's prolific, but at some point it has to translate into wins.
Lakers haven't been playing that great, I could see a good series or an upset.
Lakers haven't had anything to play for after the second game. They're going through the motions right now. And heck, that assumes the Blazers even get through the 8/9 play-in game. We could be talking about a Suns/Lakers first round matchup.

That't true to, should be interesting who gets that slot.

He's led his team to a play for a conference championship which is more than can be said about the vaunted "Process."
Please, did they really play for a conference championship? Last check, Lillard has won as many games in the conference championship round as the "Process" has. How many times have Lillard and the Blazers been swept out of the playoffs in a 4-0 round loss? I see at least 3 times, with almost as many series that went 4-1. For a guy who's been in the league 8 years now, he sure has limped out of the playoffs in quite a few of them. No one is saying the Process is much better, but holding up Lillard as some NBA playoff god is silly. He's like Reggie Miller, just not as good. And he's not even going up against Black Jesus.

As LeBron found out last year, playing in the West is not like the East where you're playing Atlanta, Charlotte, the Knicks, Bulls and Detroit. There are no off nights in the West. Last year was the first time an Eastern Conference team won the title without LeBron since Boston won in 2008, and it took a superstar from the West to defect to Toronto to do it (and the Warriors to get beat up on the road to the championship).

Old news. The only thing Lebron found out last year was that he had to wait a year to get rid of some of the riff raff of a bad Lakers team (gasp, a bad team in the West) before reforming it. He knew that going in so no big surprise. And heck, one year in and he's the top seed. The West used to be infinitely better than the East - still better, but the gap has been tremendously closed. Besides, the West was Golden State and a bunch of other teams the past few years. The top 6 in the East are just as good as the top 7, maybe top 8 in the West. That's not a huge difference.

Lillard isn't a playoff god but he could still become one. Reggie was a damn good ball player who like a long list of players, couldn't get his team past Jordan. Lillard is kind of like AI was early in his career without all of the attitude & baggage but playing against tougher competition.
Does it make you feel better about your team's failures to put down other teams and the successes and failures they've had?

Huh? Aren't you the one that introduced the "vaunted Process" into this discussion? What was that about other than putting down other teams? Glass houses, dude. I was only responding to discussion about the Blazers, I didn't bring up my team at all until you did.
