Could this add to why we are losing?

We have had the 3rd hardest schedule in the NBA.

It gets harder with 4 Running teams in Suns, Nuggets, Warriors, Suns.

Are you ****ing kidding me?

Well, part of the reason our schedule is so hard is because we don't play us.

It's all part of the conspiracy. The media is trying to destroy us for hanging on to KG for so long.

sounds like the sweet hookup to me, thats schedule could be the difference between drafting Michael Beasley and WEAK ASS ROY HIBBERT! Man that guy sucks...

Houston and Toronto have above .500 records and have harder schedules then Minnesota.

Not to mention, this isn't the NFL...so....

I think the point was that we might have more than 5 wins, maybe 7 or 8, not that we'd be a playoff team. Obviously...

Is that part of it, or is that all of it?

Just a little extra thought put in to make sure we get a top 3 pick?

or maybe its because we DO play ourselves that we suck, if you're the Spurs or Pistons, you probably gain a lot in practicing against a quality opponent. But the Wolves; Al Jefferson probably feels like he probably couldn't possibly get any better defensively after holding Mad Dog scoreless for the past 5 months

Maybe the league wanted Minny to have a tough schedule, becuase they knew if they didn't trade KG, they'd have a bad record, prompting the move anyway.

Another thought: If the Wolves are playing such a hard schedule, why the f*ck haven't they been on national TV yet, as fodder for someone, anyone?

because we're the wolves and even as fodders for other teams we're not good enough for them I suppose
