I have been looking it over and am having a hard time seeing a loss...

That is the schedule on ESPN. The schedule at timberwolves.com is completely unreadable from a "scanning" point of view.

Almost every team each year seems like they ought to be much better, so it's not easy figuring out how balanced the schedule is. My offhand take is it's pretty balanced. A bit tougher to start the season, maybe. But following the All-Star Break? A 7-game homestand, a 6-game road trip, and then 10 of the final 14 games at home. Which is a far cry from last season with a road-heavy schedule following the All-Star Break, which was a big reason most of us were skeptical about the team's chances of even making the playoffs at that time. And while it is home-heavy at the end of the season, it includes a lot of tough game: Nuggets x3, Suns x2, Lakers x2, and a spattering of other tough teams. Which is why I view the schedule as somewhat balanced.

Anyway, can anyone else find a loss?

A schedule is a schedule in my opinion, we play the same teams every year. I’m a little surprised wolves only got 5 true national TV games when Ant could be the next face of the NBA. It is what it is though

I'm not sure how many games the Wolves usually play on national TV, but I'm not surprised they aren't getting much exposure given how dreadful the Wolves have been historically. Wolves need to start winning in the playoffs for the national media to care. But I prefer for people to underrate the team than overrate them, especially if I am in a gambling mood. Keep the disrespect coming!
