We’re just about 20 games into the NBA season so far.
The small sample-size theater that we’ve all been so cautious of is slowly starting to dissipate. The teams that are currently at the top of the league are beginning to show us how serious they are. The inverse goes for the teams at the bottom.
That’s why the Minnesota Timberwolves sit atop of this week’s NBA power rankings. This team has been the best in a tough Western Conference night in and night out.
If you haven’t begun to take this team seriously yet, you should start now. Minnesota has beaten Boston, Denver, New York, Golden State and Oklahoma City so far. Those are all really good teams — some of which may be the Timberwolves’ playoff competition later in the season.
This isn’t a fluke. It’s not a mistake. The Timberwolves are actually good. It’s only getting better from here, Minnesota.
