You guys! Using arbitrarily selected endpoints covering exactly one-eighth of this championship basketball season, the Minnesota Timberwolves have a winning record! I’m not a basketball historian, per se, but I believe the same could be said about literally every prior NBA title-winning team. Like, ever.
Of course, we are at the part of the season when all hope is lost and one could reasonably argue that losing games right now is in the franchise’s best interests. But if you expected anything else, you wouldn’t be here.
But I’m not here to talk team building philosophy or ping-pong ball math.
