TNT’s coverage of the Wolves was disgraceful. Fans deserve better than hate. We’ve struggled as a fan base to follow this team and when we have some actual success, these were the bull talking points they could come up with? Embarrassment, TNT.

They aren't wrong. Wolves have had all the talent in the world to be mediocre playoff team for several years now and they just haven't been that because they don't play smart basketball.
This “dumb” basketball team and coach improved by 23 games this year. Look in the mirror for”dumb”.

So you don't disagree with me that they were really dumb team that played low IQ basketball. They had all the talent in the world to be first round exit for years yet they weren't.

Why would they throw the game to have a chance at playing a better team (Suns) instead of Grizz?

Still. Feels like the Suns are far and away the better team. Not a knock on Memphis, but LAC seem like they matchup decent with them also. Veteran team vs a very young team as well.

yeah lets throw a winnable game to get into the playoffs just to play an one and done game against a solid team where anything can happen only to play the best team in the league. makes sense.

I've seen this statement or something similar multiple times now... can you elaborate on "all the talent" part?
Be specific. Use stats when applicable. Thanks.
