So…what’s the best-case finish the Wolves can hope for this season?
The Minnesota Timberwolves go 18-0 and sneak into the playoffs, where they stay hot enough to go 16-0 and win their first NBA Championship.
That’s a nice, short, easy read for everyone on a cold Monday morning.
But, back to reality: Minnesota is still sitting in 11th place in the Western Conference and 5.5 games back of the final playoff spot. This team is likely headed to the lottery, but there a still a few things that need to be sorted out before the team heads to the offseason.
