For the seventh straight year the Minnesota Timberwolves have lost in the first round of the NBA layoffs. Minnesota's season ended last night in Los Angeles when they lost to the Lakers 101 to 85 in Game Six of their best of seven series. Despite the early exit in the playoffs, this was Minneota's best season ever, setting a franchise record for wins with the fourth-best record in the league. Joining us now is Brit Robson who covers the Timberwolves for City Pages. --At the beginning of the season you predicted the Wolves would make the playoffs and lose in the first round. Did anything about this year surprise you? --Wolves fans are getting tired of "moral victories" but should they take solace in the fact that the Wolves beat the Lakers in L.A. and took a two games to one lead at one point in the series? --Did the series with the Lakers expose any glaring weaknesses in the Timberwolves? --Will the team be able to do much in the off season to improve the team? --As he has ever year, Kevin Garnett showed significant improvement in his play this year. Can he get any better? --Is Garnett going to stay with the Wolves after his contract expires?
