The Timberwolves held their media day on Thursday. They missed an opportunity to unveil an apt motto for this season:
"Let's try this again, for the first time."
To the national media and the nation's NBA fans, as well as pessimistic Timberwolves followers, the 2023-2024 season is doomed to be an encore to a failure. A year ago, the Wolves were celebrating their trade for Rudy Gobert and their fans were as excited as they had been since Kevin Garnett was in his prime, and then reality struck. In Wolvesdom, reality is also known as the season.
