The 05-06 Timberwolves are #11
Published by The Cavalier October 4th, 2005 in 05-06 Preview, Minn. T-Wolves
If the Minnesota Timberwolves were superheroes, the lineup in the Target Center might look something like this:
Kevin Garnett is Superman: alpha male, can do anything.
Wally Szczerbiak is Green Lantern: nice enough guy, does some cool stuff, but are you really calling him when you’re in a pinch?
Troy Hudson is our made-up hero T’masta T’blasta: we’ve gone over his powers before.
Michael Olowokandi is Captain Britain: lots of potential, but nobody cares, including him.
Marko Jaric is Wolverine: hairy, drunk, and somewhat of a wild card.
New head coach Dwane Casey is The Question: who knows?
That’s really the perfect lead-in to the conclusion of this preview - nobody really knows what the T-Wolves are bringing this year. There’s no Batman, the Flash plays for Miami, and even the traitorous villian Professor Pigtails isn’t bothering with them anymore.
Our guess is that much like last season, they’ll utilize their powers of cohesiveness and friendship, which they’ll use to fly right into the playoffs.
Predicted record: 46-36
