On brink vs. the Warriors, Blazers' rebuild still nothing short of amazing

I think that puts them on pretty equal footing to us....a weak coach, front office and chemistry are the only things that stopped Minny from getting to the playoffs... Thibs will no doubt shed contracts like Muhammad's, pevovic's, perhaps even Prince and Garnett if they don't retire and bring in guys through the trade and draft that are going to make them even better...build around, Towns, Wiggins, and LaVine, Dieng...

Sans Thibs the Twolves stalled, the Blazers Rose again, so it's pretty equal footing...I think both teams will be contending very soon
