Timberwolves where did we go wrong?

Well it is a straining Thursday in Minnesota Sports land. I watched both games last night, and I will tell you when the Wild looked good the Timberwolves look bad, and when the Timberwolves looked good the Wild looked bad. So it was a night of ups and downs for our local sports teams.

Well I have been pondering the mistakes of this team for weeks now. And it all starts with the 1997 Draft of Wisconsin center Paul Grant he was suppose to be a dominate center, but flopped like most of the Timberwolves draft picks. A year earlier in 1996 the Timberwolves drafted Ray Allen which would be a great pickup for years , but decided to trade him for Stephen Marbury and you know how that went. In 1998 we drafted Radoslav Nesterovic which is still in the league, but isn't the dominate center we thought he was. In 1999 we drafted Wally-World but then also drafted in the first round Will Avery who was suppose to be our point guard of the future. And the icing on the cake on October 25 2001 the Timberwolves lost there 2001, 2002, 2004 NBA Drafts picks because of the secret deal to get Joe Smith. In 2003 they drafted Ndudi Ebi instead of Josh Howard because Mchale thought he had lightning in a bottle. So this team has had almost 10 years of bad draft picks. Next draft the 2006 draft they gave that up to get Marco Jaric for Sam Cassell. So this is why this team can't suceed and you know who gets hurt the most the fans and Kevin Garnett. And the enemy is Kevin McHale and someone needs to tell KG what happened.

On the other end the Minnesota Wild like to keep young players a little to much and don't relay on all-star talent as the Timberwolves. The Wild won last night in convincing fashion againest the Toronto Maple Leafs. Like I said earlier the Maple Leafs only come to excel every three years, and last night was the first time the Wild beat the Leafs. The Leafs are hurt and you could tell that with there lineups they pt out there. I like the victory and am looking forward for those two teams meet. Tie Domi the enforcer for the Leafs didn't take a couple of pleas from the fans to fight Derek Boomgard, which would have been a great fight.

Other Notes:

The Vikings are changing there whole staff and yesterday they let go of Trainer Chuck Barta who has been on the Vikings medical staff for many years. I think Brad Childress is trying to get younger and more coaches for the buck.

Look for the Twins to sign Michael Cuddyer soon instead of arbitration. Kyle Loshe on the other hand is heading to arbitration and is looking for 3.8 million.
