    Winning 29 games last season, a 13-win improvement, was enough for the Minnesota Timberwolves to decide that they have a good enough team, and all it needs is a bit more experience and getting older to become a formidable power in the Western conference. That seemed to be the way they approached the 2016 offseason, relying on Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins to simply be better next season.

    Chicago Bulls – The Best Team in the NBA When Everyone is Healthy

    Chicago Bulls – Can Win the NBA Championship, But Will They?

    The Chicago Bulls aren’t giving up on building a championship team around Derrick Rose.

But a team that relies on defense and effort, not on hot shooting or a certain player getting hot, can’t be counted out, when the talent gaps aren’t that big if they’re there at all.
