187. Public Enemy of the North

Back then, Garnett had a team like this, he led the team to the first place in the west, and he got the MVP himself. If not for those two years when Artest and Ben Wallace defended too fiercely, he could have contended for the DPOY.

That year, he was riding high, even though they lost 2 to 4 in the Western Conference Finals, he still thought his era had arrived, because Cassell got injured after playing 4 games in the Western Conference Finals, missing two games, otherwise it would have been hard to say who would have won or lost.

Moreover, during the 03-04 regular season, the Timberwolves faced the Pistons twice and won both games!

It was just that Garnett cared about appearances, had it been someone else, they would definitely have shouted after the Lakers were out, "If I go to the finals, I will definitely sweep the Pistons."
