We have seen some serious movement in the last several years. Going from roughly 1-5-10 National games as the years progressed. Generally, we have been a team that has been left out of the National picture, not a ratings darling by any means with little media coverage or interest.
Last year that really started to turn around. National media personalities like Kendrick Perkins were beating the drum for the Timberwolves. Stephen A. Smith became an Anthony Edwards Stan. Even Charles Barkley has grown in his admiration for young Ant's game.
We already know the Wolves have accomplished something huge when it comes to coverage for this upcoming season.

Last year we got 10 National games if you include NBA TV. If you take NBA TV out (which I generally do) we got 5. The breakdown was 2 on TNT, 3 on ESPN, and 5 on NBA TV. I believe we did get flexed into some more games as the season went on though. How many do you think we will get this season?
I predict. 4 games on TNT. 5 on ESPN. 2 on ABC and 8 on NBA TV. With a total of 19 National games and 11 games if you don't include NBA TV.
