The Minnesota Timberwolves were the sexy pick in the preseason to capture one of the final playoffs spots in the always competitive Western Conference. With youngsters Karl Anthony-Towns, Andrew Wiggins and Zach LaVine already on the roster and Tom Thibodeau appointed as the new head coach, it’s not hard to see why so many held such high optimism.
Thing’s haven’t gone exactly to plan.
Sitting at 6-16, the Timberpupp’s have a long way to go to fulfill the high expectations that were pushed upon them.
That’s were the Pistons come into play; after a slugfest - to put it nicely - against Charlotte, the Pistons have winnable games against Minnesota, Philadelphia and Dallas to help get back on track.
