Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Timberwolves fans and fans across the country.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Everyone who\u2019s watched Coach Carter most likely remembers this moment. Early on in the story, Coach Ken Carter pulls Timo Cruz before he subs in the game to ask him a critical question, to which Cruz has no answer for.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Yes. This is your chance to roleplay this moment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">As a <a href=\"https:\/\/canishoopus.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Minnesota Timberwolves<\/a> fan, we are all full of fears. Is it that the Wolves are inadequate, or that they\u2019re powerful beyond measure? Or maybe it\u2019s that TJ Shannon never develops a right hand. What would you say your single greatest concern of this upcoming season?<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The concerns that I added as options are the usual suspects. Last season, Anthony Edwards missed 22 games which definitely impacted their final postseason seeding, but were relatively healthy as a team. This year, the Wolves are fairly thin in the frontcourt after jettisoning Julius Randle and Naz Reid. Another potential issue could be the overall defense due to their lack of \u201cmuscle.\u201d Other critics have pointed out the Wolves losing former Sixth Man of the Year, Naz Reid, thus severely hurting the bench minutes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Perhaps the most scary thing would be if Minnesota win too many games. Outside of the 2003-04 and 2023-24 seasons, the Wolves haven\u2019t really been atop the league. However, if they do that again, it could be scary to see how the world react. The \u201cbig network\u201d talking heads certainly would have a field day trying to balance their anti-Minnesota agendas, yet hyping up highlight machines in LaMelo Ball and Edwards.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _174s0una _1mt21p01\">Is there another concern that you have which isn\u2019t listed, such as Tim Connelly signing a certain starting point guard of the Shanghai Sharks?
