Chris Finch subtly explained why the Timberwolves are the people’s team this season

Dunking with Wolves writer Chris Schad argues that the Minnesota Timberwolves could become the NBA's favorite team due to their anti-flopping ethos and revamped roster. Head coach Chris Finch voiced strong support for the league cracking down on embellishment, emphasizing that Minnesota does not coach or encourage flopping, contrasting the team with rivals like the Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs.

The article highlights Minnesota's reworked lineup, which features Anthony Edwards alongside new point guard LaMelo Ball and forward Jonathan Kuminga. Schad contends that the Timberwolves' authentic style of play, combined with their dynamic roster adjustments, positions them as an appealing and likeable alternative for general NBA fans heading into the new season.
