I had the Wolves penciled in as a 50-win team and contender for a top-four seed, but what does it matter what I think? The Wolves themselves clearly believed ...

That isn't going to cut it for a team already wanting shooting after the trade of [Kevin Huerter](/nba/players/2268227/kevin-huerter/). They still foul like crazy (they give up the most free throws and take the fewest). Everyone hammered Neil Olshey for his reluctance, or flat-out unwillingness, to break up the Lillard-McCollum duo and/or make strong roster moves during his tenure, but this is the other side of that. Still a bad defensive team covering for a vulnerable backcourt. But now the dust has settled, and what are the Blazers? The margin for error has all but disappeared for the Warriors, but they're still making errors. [Trae Young](/nba/players/2938032/trae-young/) and Murray, and only a recent hot streak has lifted Young's 3-point percentage north of 35. They have crept above .500 with this recent surge, and again, things could be on the upswing. The defense, which was supposed to take the big leap, is worse than it was last season by over two points per 100 possessions, and the offense -- get this -- is over 12 points worse per 100 when Gobert is on the floor, per Cleaning the Glass. I had the Wolves penciled in as a 50-win team and contender for a top-four seed, but what does it matter what I think? This is a mess. This was a team looking to build on almost winning a playoff series last season, and now it's going to be tough to even crack the postseason.
