The Minnesota Timberwolves are currently the 7th seed in the Western Conference. They will have a chance to make an appearance in the playoffs if they move up to the 6th seed or above in the coming weeks, or if they end up winning the play-in tournament. This would be the team’s first playoff appearance since the 2017-18 season.
Anthony Edwards has recently claimed that the Minnesota Timberwolves are the team in the Western Conference that other teams don’t want to see in the playoffs, due to the fact that they’re a “quiet” and “super-talented” team. It is unclear whether the Minnesota Timberwolves will in fact make it to the playoffs, as they are a play-in tier team currently, but Anthony Edwards previously expressed a belief that it will happen.
“We’re the team in the West that… nobody wants to see.”

I’m super confident in my team. I think we’re the team in the West that don’t nobody want to see. I think we got that quiet team, super talented. You don’t know what you’re gonna get on any given night.
Like I might come out score 50. Or D-Lo might go score 50, or KAT might score 50. Then if KAT score 50, I score 30, D-Lo score 20, that’s a crazy game. You don’t know what you’re gonna get any given night, so that’s why we’re scary.
There’s no doubt that the Minnesota Timberwolves have a lot of young talent on the roster. D’Angelo Russell is a stellar talent on the offensive end, blending scoring and playmaking together well. Karl-Anthony Towns is the best sharpshooting big man in the league, while Anthony Edwards has shown that he is an extremely explosive scorer. Overall, they are definitely a team that could be trouble if they get going offensively.
It remains to be seen if the Minnesota Timberwolves do in fact make the playoffs. It would be good to see them back in the playoffs, and there’s no doubt that they would be an entertaining team for fans to watch in the postseason.
