The last time the Minnesota Timberwolves got off to a 10-game start as hot as this season’s 8-2 sprint out of the gates, I was still taking naps at school.
They have come a long way, through the faux optimism maze of Ryan Gomeses, Luke Ridnours, Andre Millers and Treveon Grahams, all to find themselves sitting at 8-2 on the young season and increasingly nestled within the huddle of early picks to make a deep NBA playoff run.
So it only feels right — in an attempt to extinguish the inevitable wisps of doubt that will eventually sneak up on the aforementioned optimism — that we double down on the positives of the first 10 contests and recap how the Timberwolves got here, game-by-game.
