Minnesota Timberwolves Information

The Minnesota Timberwolves were founded in 1989 and play in the Northwest Division of the Western Conference. They have made the playoffs eight times, but have advanced past the first round just one time.

In 2007, they traded away their franchise player Kevin Garnett to the Boston Celtics for some fresh talent with hopes of a turn around. They have been unsuccessful for the past couple of seasons, and the 2010 Timberwolves certainly didn’t break the trend with a regular season record of 15-67. Despite built up frustration season by season, there is still hope for Timberwolves fans.

In the 2010-11 season, the Timberwolves placed last in the division at 17-65. On the shortened season, the team has already improve their record at 21-21. In third behind the Thunder and Nuggets, the team will probably miss out on the playoffs again, but have taken great strides to improve the club. Look for the Timberwolves to make a strong finish and come back next season to do even better.
