The 2004-05 Minnesota Timberwolves season was the team's 16th in the NBA. They began the season hoping to improve upon their 58-24 output from the previous season. However, they came fourteen wins shy of tying it, finishing 44-38 and missing the playoffs for the first time in nine seasons.[1] During the season, it became clear that the Timberwolves were not the same team of year's past. Head coach Flip Saunders was replaced midway through the season with team GM Kevin McHale, who would take over for the rest of the season as head coach.
