The Minnesota Timberwolves are off to their best start in franchise history.

In the 01-02 season, they also started 10-3 but then dropped to 10-4.

Folks, the Minnesota Timberwolves are a legitimate Title Contender and Anthony Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns are one of the best duos in the entire NBA

    Ain’t a minnesota fan, but I’m happy for y’all. It’s been a long time coming. Plus I admire that the timberwolves are doing it off of a defense first mindset. I always like teams that respect the term “defense wins championships”

    I hope this keeps up. Seeing the excitement of Minnesota fans on here since they took 1st place in the west has been awesome.

      I was curious to see how the NBA community has thought about this. If it was a flukey streak or whatever. Nice to see my perennial cellar dwellers beating quality opponents

    Love to see a small market thrive. As long as this team goes far in the playoffs, you gotta keep it together.

        just curious, what do you mean other things worked out? Rudy is playing like the guy they traded for, Ant is ascending? These things were what the trade was predicated on

          As it follows below in the comments, getting Conley helped a lot too. And it’s not only Ant that has improved, but McDaniels and Naz Reid are great too. At the moment it happened it wasn’t a good trade lol, but it has worked out in the end

    Longtime TWolves fans have suffered so damn much over the years—not as much as a few other fanbases maybe, but we are up there. It is great to just feel relevant again.

      We’ve only ever won two playoff series ever, both being in 2004. Since then we’ve had a 642-968 record. In that time y’all have won 3 rings with a 1030-588 record. You still have about 15 more years to go until you can understand.

    Ok look I love this as much as anyone, but are we not gonna talk about how the wolves have had obscene luck in opposing team’s star players sitting / being injured during this run?
