    The wide open jumpshot.

    On a serious note, poor drafting, bad signings, no rookie development program, lack of vision and adaptibility, two prime talents wasting away, no quality PG, no quality PF, no bench...

    We urgently need a Jerry West/Brian Colangelo type exec who can bring a different perspective and expertise to the organization. This win-now mantra has produced nada.

    Sure we can compete with anybody in the regular season but when it's time for a gut check i.e. the play-offs, we're firing blanks...

    .....we will not be the Timberwolves!!!!

    At this point... no one really, because we are simply not good enough to be even considered a rival.

    Right Now.

    1. Ourselves: Our team does and makes so many head scratching decisions on and off the court, so i will see it's an internal struggle that kills us.

    2. Jazz: After playing in very physical playoff and closely contested series, along with battles in late 80s - 90s, Utah is probably now are biggest rival.

    3. Mavs: In-state rivals.

    4. Spurs: Maybe in 90s, we haven't really played in any meaningful games against them in the last 10 or so years.
