YOUR SUBTLE LITTLE HINT OF WHAT COULD GO WRONG WITH THE WOLVES THIS POSTSEASON: From the AP report of their win over the Nuggets last night:

Sprewell was shooting so well that he shook his head in disbelief when Saunders took him out with 1:11 remaining in the first half with just two fouls.

"I'm on fire," Sprewell pleaded.

Garnett wasn't happy, either, shouting toward the bench, "Where's HE going?"

Didn't Flip do something like that with Troy Hudson against the Lakers last year? This tendency towards micromanagement could be the Wolves' undoing.
