Every year at the start of the season, I have been overly optimistic because of the addition of a certain player or the progress of a talented one only to see my hopes crushed after 15-20 games (with the exception of the one year we had Jimmy Butler) - every year, I have been getting up during the night and watch some 10 games per season despite the struggles, because I simply am a fan of this club no matter what.
Having had my hopes crushed so often, it simply is such a relief and feeling of success that we have finally made the postseason again. There are players and stories you can like or dislike about the current players, coaches and club officials but let me point out one thing: When reading the threads here, I always feel that the Timberwolves have a great (international) community and I have a familiar feeling when I read the names of certain posters (of which I appreciate some more than others
) - and this base simply deserves to be happy and celebrate their team. I say this even though there is a way of criticism towards player performances that is sometimes exaggerated and over the top (in some nights I can relate though ).And as this is the positivity thread: I have a positive feeling that we will see a competitive against the Grizzlies! We are on a good path!
Having this said, hope to "read" you all Saturday night in our first match.
