Tipping my cap to those who had the series ending in 5. You saw things a lot more clearly than me.

Tip the cap to OKC

Well, OKC is better than us what are you going to do. Would have been nice to have been a closer game, oh well let the off season talk begin. Just 28 days until the draft.

I have a feeling we won't be talking about his size as much next fall.

He seriously does look a little bigger, but that could just be me projecting my desire for him to become an all-star caliber starting PG by next December (he needs a month to adjust to starting).

Are they spreading the draft over 2 days again? If so, we'll have the first pick on day two! (Along with a mid-round pick on day one)

That's right I forgot they changed that, yep it looks like it's a two day event again this year.

I know a lot of people say the KAT trade was done for basketball reasons, but I contend it was done more for the upcoming financial problems facing the Wolves, and that it was the best basketball move TC could make under that circumstance.

So now that the finances are manageable, TC can go back to making moves for basketball reasons.

KAT shot like 30% in the WCF last year, if he shoots league avg we were in the Finals (still likely to get smoked by Boston but sure). KAT's career is that of being mostly trash in the playoffs also (foul trouble and fouling out as well as well as subpar D), so considering he's due to make 60 mill in a couple years. Yikes. It's your problem now NY, you're stuck with him. Luckily we got rid of him just soon enough.

So in the end, I think it was basketball.

First off hat tip to OKC. They play hard and have great chemistry. Yes they get away with alot of fouling, but they have built the identity of being a hard nose team which helps them get away with it.

Now to the Wolves. Terrible performance especially the first two quarters. But I didn't even expect us to get as far as we did in the playoffs. Would I call it a success? No. But I'm content.

Now it turns to TC to try and work his magic on this awkward roster. One thing I would like to see us do is get the personnel to play faster.

I'm not sure he'll be back. I don't think this team can be it's best with both Julius and NAZ on the roster. And it's highly likely that Julius will opt in, so...

Naz needs to Opt in also. Very few teams have cap room, no one is paying him when better players are out there.
