The Minnesota Timberwolves will play their final game of the season at the Target Center against Memphis, and for the second year in a row, knowledgable Wolves fans will be rooting for their team to lose the finale.

In fact, a win could be devastating.

It could cost the team its first round draft pick, and that could finally convince Kevin Garnett that it's time for him to leave the franchise.

This is the latest sad chapter for a franchise that has now missed the playoffs three years in a row. MPR's Perry Finelli talked with Brit Robson, who covers the team for The Rake.
