Through roughly the first month of the season, I don’t think it’s unfair to say that the Minnesota Timberwolves have been the most disappointing team of the season. Many projected them to hit the 50-win mark this year. And even though that was probably an unfair projection, I don’t think anyone thought they’d be 4-8 through the first 12 games.
The talent on this roster is better than that start, which makes their rough first few weeks even more confusing. The talent is there, there’s no question about it. I’m sure Tom Thibodeau will get this operation turned around, sooner rather than later.
However, their start is concerning. And if you thought they were going to hit 50 wins this season, think again.
