OKC Thunder: TI editor power ranking week 9: The shuffle is on
13-16. Previous: 20th. Minnesota Timberwolves. 24. team. 86.
Although Karl-Anthony Towns is reveling in a post Jimmy world unless Minnesota learns how to win on the road they’ll be sitting on the outside of the playoff picture looking in.
They got swept on the road in week nine and starting on Friday of week 10 the Wolves will play six of seven away from the Target Center. With a 14 percent road win efficiency that would translate into one win out of six. It’s conceivable Minnesota will be well into 20 or more losses long before they register 20 wins.
