The Minnesota Timberwolves sit atop the Western Conference at 24-9, bludgeoning their way through the competition with a suffocating defense. In my years of fandom, I never thought I would be privileged enough to nitpick a team with a legitimate chance at contention. Though, before we dive into what is sure to be a contentious topic within the Wolves’ fanbase these next few weeks, I wanted to introduce myself to the Canis Hoopus community.
I am a Minneapolis native and NDSU graduate (go Bizon, yes it’s with a z) who’s been enamored with the Timberwolves since watching Troy Hudson bury 37 on the Kobe and Shaq Lakers in 2003.
