There are many excuses a fans can use when explaining away his or her’s favorite team’s struggles.
One could blame it on the referees, citing that certain calls definitely should have gone the other way on numerous occasions. Another excuse could be made with the explanation that the opponent played cheap or dirty, resulting in your own team’s demise. Fans could also blame a conglomeration of other things such as the schedule, the coaching, a certain player, the location of the team, etc.
For the Minnesota Timberwolves, for at least the past five seasons, the excuse to be made by many a fan of the organization is this: injuries.
