Alright, Timberwolves Nation, if you’re still reeling from Tuesday’s loss to Dallas, you’re not alone. After last season’s playoff heartbreak against the Mavericks, we were all hoping this would be the time for a little revenge, a bit of Christmas come early. The Western Conference Finals were supposed to be a hard lesson learned, and with a couple of fresh faces, Minnesota looked ready to turn the page. But instead? The same story: Kyrie and Luka lighting us up, Mavericks players cutting to the rim for uncontested dunks, and the Wolves just…falling short. Again.
So here we are, and I don’t want to overreact (it’s October, people), but there’s no denying the Timberwolves have a Dallas problem.
