Right now the LA Lakers, Minnesota Timberwolves, Indiana Pacers and Detroit Pistons are vying for 2 spots in the NBA Finals. Who do you think will make the Finals? Who would you like to see in the Finals? Do you think the NBA is favoring an LA/Detroit matchup over a Minnesota/Indiana one because of the larger markets? Go Timberwolves!
I lost interest since the Jazz has not pulled their butt out of the rot and Stockton retired. When Michael Jordan left it was a 'tune down' for me too, no one is as flashy. Anyway, I am for the underdog, so shall we say 'Timberwolves'?
Good choice JB, I have been fortunate enough to attend 2 of the Timberwolves playoff games (I live an hour away from Minneapolis) and they are very exciting to watch. Plus they have the reigning MVP Kevin Garnett. I agree that the game has changed since Jordan left but I think the change was for the best. Not good when you have a team and a player that dominates as much as he did. There is more of an even playing field now, which I think makes it more exciting. The teams that may not have the superstars still have a chance.
