We all know it’s foolish to overreact to preseason. Whether the on-court product is good or bad, making definitive conclusions from these exhibitions is rather silly. Fringe NBA players play more than normal and veterans are seldom invested in these games. These are just a couple of reasons why you cannot always make judgments from the preseason.
While all of that is still true, we have a blog to run. Saying “everything is meaningless — see you in the regular season” does not make for good content. We now have two fresh Minnesota Timberwolves preseason games under our collective belt and have observed a handful of takeaways that may (or may not) translate going forward.
