2022-23 NBA Schedule Released

[Camden [enjin:6601484]]

By my count, the Minnesota Timberwolves will have 16 nationally broadcasted games -- six on ESPN, six on NBA TV, and four on TNT.

Additionally, they'll get to begin the year with seven games that they should be favored in, which is potentially a really big deal as they'll likely have some growing pains to start the year. It's likely they'll need a little time to gel and work through mistakes and different rotations. The good news is that they should be able to do that while still picking up some wins in a soft spot in the schedule.

They start the season against Oklahoma City (twice), Utah (sandwiched between OKC games), San Antonio (thrice), and the Los Angeles Lakers to end October.

This is an interesting start to the season for sure. The first thing that came to mind is it is a classic damned if you do/damned if you don't situation. If the Wolves come out and win most or all of them the national detractors will say its just a matter of playing bad teams. If they start less than stellar it will open up the conversations about how the Gobert move was a mistake.

Hopefully the reality will be the Wolves stifling defense smothering these teams.

The Minnesota Timberwolves released this last week and I don't want it to get lost in the shuffle for those that might be able to attend. They're having an open practice October 1st and admission is complimentary. I would definitely go if I resided in the state as it sounds like a great opportunity to see the new team together and what a Chris Finch practice looks like. If any of you do decide to go, I know I would be interested in what you observed.

Bumping this thread in the event someone wanted to go to the Timberwolves event/practice tomorrow (in the comment above) and were unaware of the details.

I went to the Nebraska Basketball version of this last night. Freshman Sam Hoiberg is my spirit animal.

I really wish I was going to the scrimmage, but I decided not to risk it as I am just coming off the 1st of two cataract surgeries... :-(
