At this moment we are projected to have the 2nd worst record (18-64) in Hollinger's 2014-15 NBA Playoff Odds only better than Sixers. Do you really think we are that bad?

Without Rubio, Pek, and Martin? Sure.

But healthy? No

[Klomp]

I actually think we might be.

We have gone 2-12 since Rubio's injury. That's a 12-win pace over an entire season. I'm not sure everybody back gets us much more than six extra wins. And can we be sure that we'll get everybody back healthy at the same time?

[Calinks]

Yeesh

[Calinks]

Basically as one fan said last year, with the wolves don't expect anything because the reality will always be worse. I came in with super low expectations, before the Young the trade in the summer I said we would struggle to hit 20 wins. That was even too high lol.

Looks like I never posted in this thread. My prediction is 16-66 and everybody gets career-ending injuries.

[Basti]

Boy, we as a fan base never seem to learn from the past.

[Klomp]

Boy, we as a fan base never seem to learn from the past.

Next year when a new predictions thread comes up, I'm going to say 1-81. Can't be disappointed, that way.

Well.... Is 0-82 really out of the question now?

[Calinks]

It is kind of funny to see all the crushed hopes and dreams though. Kind of.

I was writing a little bit about the team's injuries over at reddit, and part of that was this:

C - Pekovic (31 games played)/ Dieng (73 games played)
PF - Young (48 games played)/ Bennett (57 games played)
SF - Wiggins (82 games played)/ Shabazz (38 games played)
SG - Brewer (24 games played)/ [Martin (39 games played) - not in the rotation due to starting the year injured]
PG - Rubio (22 games played), Mo (41 games played)

There were only 4 guys in our regular rotation to start the year that ended up playing more than half the season for the Wolves this year (Wiggins, Bennett, Young, and Dieng). That's insane.
