Then why doesn't he? Garnett scores and rebounds more than Duncan right now, and he will for the rest of the year. Any advantage Duncan gives you is lost because Kevin Garnett is the only player of his position as good/better than him. Duncan has the huge advantage against most pF's, but not Garnett. In the same way Duncan negates Garnett, but then add Spre, Sam, Trent, Hassell, Wally, Hudson etc and the Wolves have the better team. Simply said.
The Spurs do not have a good offense, don't kid yourself and say that. Duncan, yes. Rasho, sometimes. The rest, meh. San Antonio is a bunch of veteran role players who play defense. The Timberwolves play the best zone defense in the league. Put a really good offense against the best defense, ok, then put a decent offense against another really good defense, and like we have already seen this year, the Timberwolves win.
Michael Jordan didn't win a championship until his 7th year into the league, when he finally got a good team around him. Kevin Garnett won't win his first championship until his 9th year because he now has a good team around him.

Say all you want. I guarantee Minnesota will choke yet again. Cassell is having his best season and will be on the decline. Parker is like 21. He's only going to get better. You need to get your ass whooped if you think Manu is a stiff. There isn't a player in the league who can guard him. Kobe can't, so why would I believe that anyone on Minnesota's squad can?
KG is not better than Duncan. Like I said before, Duncan can get the same numbers as KG without giving everything he's got. Why doesn't he? Because he doesn't have to.
Don't ever mention Trent Hassell again.
You could say the same thing about Dallas. You got Dirk, Fin, Nash, Walker, and Jamison. Even last year's team was better than the Spurs. And who won the championship? That's right, the Spurs.
The Spurs do have a good offense if that offense revolves around Duncan, which it does. You talk about defense like it doesn't matter. DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS. OFFENSE SELLS TICKETS.
Like I said before, KG will NEVER win a championship. His main supporting cast of Cassell and Sprewell are in the twilight of their careers and SA has a young supporting cast. You talk like Hedo is a stiff, but you give mad props to Trent Hassell.
SA also has a shitload of cap room to improve even more.
Don't base anything on what happened in the regular season. I forgot to even mention LA and Sac. I don't think they can beat Dallas either. In my opinion, they're still the fourth or fifth best team in the West until they prove me otherwise by WINNING IN THE PLAYOFFS! You just better pray that they win the Midwest because if they don't, they won't be playing in May.
You say that KG finally has a good team around him and he will get a ring in the next two or three seasons. Well, Tim Duncan's, according to you, supporting cast are a bunch of stiffs and role players who play defense. Every team needs role players, dumbass. Every championship team plays good defense, dumbass. Tim Duncan has two rings and they dethroned LA with that very team of stiffs. You have so much to learn, junior.
The only reason you think the Spurs aren't good is because they aren't exactly the most fun to watch. I think Spurs fans have a different opinion. How fun has it been for you watching your Wolves being eliminated each of the past seven seasons? Everybody counted SA out last year. No one thought they'd catch Dallas. No one thought they'd beat LA. They did and that makes them the best. They sent the Lakers home crying for God's sake. Who can say that? Don't let your hometeam bias overshadow your good judgement and perception of reality, kid.
