The Minnesota Timberwolves just broke their long playoff drought but that doesn't mean everything is good inside the organization. The Timberwolves were eliminated in the first round by the Houston Rockets, but these problems started way before the playoff run.

According to Darren Wolfson of 1500 ESPN:

Being at Games 3 and 4, I found it interesting, fascinating, however you want to describe it, the amount of people that sought me out, within the organization, to just spew whatever. Put it this way: To suggest it’s a cohesive bunch, that organization, to think that they’re holding hands singing Kumbaya, is laughable. There is a lot of disconnect. Now, where do you want to begin on that? Should Tom Thibodeau know the names of people on the business side, on the marketing side? There may be some people listening say, “No. Why? Win games. He won games. Who cares?” But there are people upset that he alienates himself. There’s a big wall up. He’s got his guard up constantly. He always appears to be grumpy.

You get to 47 wins. You sell out the building 16 times. The TV ratings go up 78 percent. And, again, that’s from rock bottom a year ago, but still. The TV ratings go up 78 percent. There should be a ton to celebrate, right? Just on the surface. You look at those things. But I’m telling you, there is so much angst, and I’m telling you, disconnect behind the scenes.

Before the playoffs started owner Glen Taylor was asked about the job that Tom Thibodeau was doing and he didn't give rave reviews.

One of the biggest issues for the relationship between Thibodeau and Taylor is how they approach winning. For Thibodeau, he wants to win now and he doesn't care who he makes angry or who's feelings he hurts in the process. But for Taylor he is a much gentler and although he wants to win as bad as anyone, he wants to do it the right way.

Thibodeau will be back next year, but the expectations are going to be much higher, especially if his relationship isn't any better with the owner.
