Flip Saunders guarentees Wolves will beat Spurs in round one.

RocksMillenium guarantees that the Spurs will stomp a mudhole in Minnesota in route to their 2nd championship in 3 years.

Minnesota needs to let someone else have a turn. Don't they ever get tired of 3 and out every year? They'd have better luck in the lottery. They're just taking up space.

 

Actually not. . .

no 1st rounders sucks.

Now if by some miracle the Wolves are still playing in game 5, you guys will be saying "it all started when Saunders raised the bar for his team".

women love me, fish fear me.

 

Anything can happen. Nah, Flip will have to eat a HUGE helping of crow!

Is it just me or are guarantees in pro sports getting really tired?

 

Mark Messier was the best during the Rangers cup drive. damn I loved that team

Why do you think they don't deserve to be in the playoffs? They had a very good record in a tough conference and were one of the best home teams in the league.

------------------

 

It is ridiculous. Guarantees are so stupid because the players never promise to do anything if they turn out to be wrong, they just brush it off. Of course every team is going to be saying they think they have a shot to win, so just keep your mouth shut and play.

------------------

 

LOL!!! He's right!

The Wolves problem is not a question of tallent it is a question of coaching....Flip sucks.


------------------

 

I disagree. Though I think Flip's a jackass, he is a damn good coach. He's gotten alot out of the players on that team. I think he's a bit of a control freak though....

------------------

 

i agree with the disagree (sort of). Flip is a good coach, however i wouldn't go as far as jackass. I mean he's pulled some nasty stuff, but on the whole he's a respectable coach that got more out of his team than anyone thought he would.

The T-Wolves deserve to be in the playoffs, but the 'guarantees' are lame. Just shut up and play.

------------------

 

No I'll go out looting, because obviously it's the end of the world and we don't have much time to live if this happens!

------------------
See the three, be the three.

 

The T'Wolves have just as good a chance as we would have had. Not too good, but there is that 20% chance that the underdog will win.

The Wolves' frontcourt is very lacking compared to the spurs, while the Wolves' backcourt is more impressive.

------------------
Never Underestimate the Heart of a Champion

 

Didn't Garnett make this same promise two years ago?

------------------
Who's ya daddy?

 

The Timberwolves are going to get killed. The spurs froncourt is gonna eat the Rasho/ Slater/Garrett froncourt combo alive. Garnett will be doubled constantly, and I think most of the shooters on the Pups are too streaky, and won't be able to knock down their shots.



------------------

 

He was right, they did beat San Antonio, unfortunately they only beat them once.

It must suck to know your team will never do better than getting eliminated in the first round.

First of all, a tip of the hat goes to the Spurs. They are on a roll, and yet they still haven't played their best ball.

Now as for the Wolves, I know KG has made comments about how he's a team player, how he's not concerned about being a big scorer. But the Wolves are not going to go to the next level until Garnett realizes that he needs to be the primary offensive option, scorer, and, most importantly, focus. They have some wonderful shooters in Szcerbiak (sp?), Brandon, Peeler, etc. who would at their best playing off of KG rather than trying to create their own shot. I say put him at the elbow, spread the floor, and allow him to make a move or find open teammates.

Defensively, they're fine. They did a fairly solid job on the Spurs considering the amount of minutes Slater plays at the post, the Spurs are a tough matchup for anyone, particularly when your C is 6'7".

KG has to step it up offensively if that team is to go anywhere.
