The Minnesota Timberwolves made their first appearance during the 1989-90 season and the team became well known for their powerful fanatic force, which has become the third largest in the NBA history.
In 1998, the Timberwolves had their first positive season (45-37) and classified to the playoffs for the second consecutive year.
However, they have only achieved one Division title in 2004 under the long-time Head Coach Flip Saunders.
The past 2 years, the team went through several changes; administration and player-wise; new contracts were signed by the end of 2007 with Theo Ratliff, Al Jefferson, Gerald Green, Ryan Gomes, and Sebastian Telfair.
American Randy Scott Wittman is the current Head Coach. Wittman has been leading the Timberwolves since the 2006-07 season, when the team finished fourth in the conference.
After a 22-60 on the book for last season, Coach Wittman states that now the 'Wolves are evidently a superior basketball team than they were a year ago, and they certainly seem to have improved. It’s almost certain to expect a better 2008-09, but don’t wait for Mike Miller and Kevin Love to change this team into a playoff danger just yet.
