The Timberwolves' 4-4 start is not as bad as it seems + fun with 3-man lineups



There’s no arguing that the Minnesota Timberwolves have gotten off to a slow start this season. Still, given the combined success of the teams they’ve played against, a 4-4 record may not be as bad as it seems at first glance. Ben Beecken (@bbeecken) breaks down why it isn’t all bad, as well as a look ahead at the next week’s schedule. Plus, fun with three-man lineups, along with some surprising data.

  1. Your missing the point. The issue isn't their record it's that they only played with real effort in 2 of 8 games and it took an embarrassing loss and a tnt game to get the effort.

  2. all i gotta say is wolves fan probably too much on edge right now because well we did the gobert trade and whether we like the trade or not we have expectations now

    fans are freaking out too much and oversensitive right now, its early season give the boys another 10-15 games before we truly judge be satisfied or panic

    state after 8 games
    – KAT and Gobert has potential not the best still awkward here and there but not the worst
    – Jaden is good just need more consistent form of offense for him i feel like
    – ANT is great but sometimes he check out defensively especially against the "tanking teams" and sure its good when he nails those 3pt pull up but sometimes he settle on that too much
    – DLO gotta be so much better we cant be paying 30mil for dlo to be playing like this, aint hitting the trade dlo button yet but might start to consider it if this continues

    p.s nowell is good but i dont think he's as good as wolves media bringing him up to be look at last 3 games for example, I actually think we try to package him and dlo for something try to sell a team on the dlo off the book capspace and nowell potential

  3. There hasnt been 1 single area of growth on the team so far… Thats bad. They are the same team they were game 1 without even the smallest change. There is no actual reason to be positive that can be pointed to other than just hope. They need to trade Dlo, stop treating ANT like a 2nd class star and let him run the team and close games, Look to trade Towns because you can get 3pt shooters for 10x cheaper than his contract and anyone in the league can play D better than him.

  4. Keep in mind that the Thunder didn’t have SGA or Josh Giddey and Suns didn’t have Ayton. We could have easily lost those Thunder games too. Idk i’m not buying this team this year. I could be wrong, but I really don’t think so.

  5. Sugar coating this start is not going to do any good they haven't passed the eye test at all and the record shows it we have probably made one of the worst trades in nba history

  6. Dlo had been awful but people also need to put this same amount of energy towards KATs defense. Stretch/athletic PFs have been running laps around KAT. He looks so uncomfortable guarding the perimeter and his close out is awful. I'm really concerned about this…

  7. Boston looked bad the first half of last season then turned it around! The Wolves will be better after around 25 games! They need time to build chemistry and make adjustments to what is not working!
