Now that there has been the fresh change of leadership for the Minnesota Timberwolves, bringing on board Gersson Rosas, we have all felt a renewed vigor to a fanbase that had seemed destined to slog through the quagmire of the NBA middle-ground with little direction or future.
This brief ray of hope had us believing the Wolves could finally have a little bit of luck thrown their way in the NBA lottery, particularly with the new flattened lottery odds that gave them a few more percentage points in their favor. Alas, that did come true and the Wolves moved down one spot from 10 to 11, while watching fellow Western Conference foes jump way ahead, with the Pelicans, Grizzlies, and Lakers all falling into some exceptional luck.
