On his The Hoops Collective podcast, Brian Windhorst recently spoke with Tim MacMahon and Tim Bontemps about NBA title contenders. When they got to the Minnesota Timberwolves, Windhorst had this to say,
"A team that is hiding as an elite team, but not always playing as an elite team, is Minnesota. You saw what Ant did in the All-Star game, the guy is incredible. Minnesota has had some baffling performances this year. They have looked tremendous at times, they have looked ridiculous at times. They were a team that last year right about this time were in about the same spot, and then they hit the turbo down the stretch of the season and ended up in the conference finals.
