    Default Would Minnesota have won the title in 2004 if it weren't for the supercolluded Lakers

    Would you foresee them beating the formidable defense of Detroit, one of the best defenses of all time?

    How Ironic you mention the Lakers being colluded when the Timberwolves were guilty of colluding and forfeited draft picks....

    Minnesota would have won a title in 2004 if Sam Cassell didn't get injured.

    Trying to get Garnett some help isn't collusion, especially compared to that year's Lakers cast of grizzled veterans. Shaq and Kobe already had each other.

    Signing free agents isn't "collusion" no matter how much people here like to throw that term around. Conspiring with Joe Smith to game the salary cap arguably is.

    We would have if Cassell didn't injure himself with the big ball dance.

    The Pistons would have eliminated them in the Finals

    How were the 2004 Lakers colluding?

    Did they all form a pact together in the Olympics to sign contracts that would allow them on their next turn to come together in their prime to form a super team in a depleted conference?

    Karl Malone was on his basketball death bed. And GP was already deep in his twilight by that point. Both were older and more broken down than when the Celtics big three formed.

    That Pistons team was on another level defensively. They probably would've swept the Wolves.

    That Detroit defense would keep the Wolves under 50 points per game. Garnett would average like 15ppg on 10%

    I mean, we were 2-0 against them in the regular season.

    Brooklyn was 4-0 against the Heat during the 2014 regular season. They got swept.

    Hopefully KG could've willed them to a win or two.
