Glen Taylor really embarrassed himself. There's a reason most owners stay behind the curtains.

The Twolves ownership tanked on KG. KG did not tank on the Twolves.

Perhaps, Shaquille O'Neal is more guilty of this claim than Garnett. I mean was it any surprise that O'Neal became rejuvenated in Phoenix.

How do you hate on the greatest player ever in your franchise history. I understand the relationship in that Taylor, paid KG a TON of money. Therefore expected everything he got out of him. But to say that he gave up the last 5 games of the year is very petty.

Also it wasn't KG's fault that they sucked nuts the last 3 years. He did give his all.

Garnett did the right thing here in electing not to fan the flames.

In comments to Minneapolis reporters yesterday, Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor accused Garnett of "tanking" the last five games of the 2006-07 season. Taylor's comments came after he was asked about the Wolves having a reputation for tanking games in recent seasons to aid their draft position. Garnett missed the last five games last season with a sore right quadriceps, but Taylor questioned the truth of that claim. "It was more like, I'd say, KG tanked it," Taylor said. Boston Globe

Following the Celtics' 94-74 win over Houston last night, Garnett talked briefly about Taylor's accusation. "First off, I want to say Glen Taylor was good to me when I was a Timberwolf and I'm a Boston Celtic now," Garnett said. "I'm not going to be going back and forth saying tasteless things. That's not my character. "I have nothing to do with the Minnesota Timberwolves. That's in the past. I'm in a new chapter in my life." Boston Globe
