This is not about bias. It’s not about petty rivalries. This is about basketball judgment — the kind you earn through four NBA championships, a gold medal, and a résumé thicker than a Celtics media guide. Now I’m no big city slicker lawyer, rather a humble representative of the Golden Empire.

Only problem? They’ll be doing it without their main utensil.

The Minnesota Timberwolves aren’t just an NBA team; they’re the silent architects of Warriors greatness – a basketball Santa Claus delivering championship-caliber gifts with the enthusiasm of someone who doesn’t realize they’re being robbed in broad daylight.

Photo by Tim Warner/Getty Images We’re witnessing the Western Conference transform into a mausoleum of legends. This postseason didn’t just separate contenders from pretenders folks, it pressed a cold steel blade against the throats of titans and whispered “expired.” The conference that once overflowed with immortals now echoes with the footsteps of the last true deity still prowling. The battlefield has cleared, and what remains isn’t about box scores or playoff seeding.
