Minnesota Timberwolves president of basketball operations Tim Connelly thinks there’s another level that the group can get to (49-33 record during 2025-26/lost to the 2-seeded San Antonio Spurs 4-2 in the Western Conference Semifinals as No. 6 seed).

(via Minnesota Timberwolves):

“We have a lot of confidence in our guys, but it would be disingenuous for me to be sitting here in front of this crew and say, ‘Hey, we’re happy with the 6-seed. We’re happy with not being a home court playoff team. We’re happy that our last three closeout games have been lopsided.’ So we have to be realistic about what we have, which is way more good than bad, but know that we’re not good enough right now.”
