The Minnesota Timberwolves post-All-Star break schedule begins on Friday. Currently, Minnesota owns a 34-22 record, sixth-best in the Western Conference. They also sit just 1.5 games out of third.
On the latest episode of his The Bill Simmons Podcast, Simmons says this about the Timberwolves,
"I don’t think you can do it as the road team in four straight rounds. I think for them (Timberwolves), you have to at least get the four seed, maybe even the three seed…you’re not doing it as a five or six seed unless it’s a really, really weird season or a really, really weak conference.
