Man, what a freaking year.
The Minnesota Timberwolves came into the 2022-23 season with aspirations of a 50-win season and a legitimate playoff run, and then proceeded to take the rockiest possible path to a 42-win campaign and a five game stay in the first round of the NBA Playoffs.
It began with an infuriating display of disinterest and disrespect towards less-talented opponents, opening the year 4-3 against a schedule that featured one playoff team, the Lakers, who started the season 2-10 in their own right. The lack of effort eventually got so bad that we set up a pledge to donate to Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity for every charge the team took.
