Game 74: Los Angeles Lakers (21-53) @ Minnesota Timberwoles (29-54) - 8:00 PM ET

[GopherIt!]

I want us to win this because we'll officially beat last seasons record lol.

Plus, I was at the game in LA and my friends are die hard Laker fans. I wanted to die when we blew our lead yet again and had them drunkenly screaming in my face when they were clowning us in OT

BTW, were any of you guys in section 102 behind the visitors bench? There seemed to be a **** load of Wolves fans in that section, a lot of them big Ricky fans

I had to work. I usually hit one of the Clipper or Laker games depending on the cost. what did u pay 4 your ticket RC?

They were 235 for row 3

You were close and thats a great price for those seat.

I was on my way to a job interview and had to stick to box score watching on a bus but, honestly, I was very very close to shedding a tear of joy on behalf of Ricky's career high. It just felt so overwhelmingly great.

I wouldn't read too much into Bazz's current minutes. Thibs could also be experimenting with the line up now that the season is lost. Evaluating Dunn a the 2 guard spot he can learn a lot. I feel like Thibs is completing his evaluations and how he wants to use the players on the team going forward.

I think Dunn does those glue things out there with the starters. I like that all 3 can freely switch up top without the need to constantly provide help to one another.

Dunn doesnt need to worry about his offense, he can focus on being a pest defensively and be everywhere on the court. His shooting is an issue, but with Ricky stepping up, it's less of a concern. We could really use a tough immovable big that can defend.

It's a shame there are no post-game threads in this board. We've lost a great opportunity to title this one '30 for 30'.

[Klomp]

30 wins with 8 games to play. While everyone has chalked this up as a failed season and these as meaningless games, whatever wins we get going forward will mean something for the franchise.

One more win matches the second-most since the KG trade.
Two more wins matches KG's final season.
Three more wins matches second-most since 2004-05.

[Sugarless]

I was dying to get those 30W at the end of last season, but we dropped one right when we had them in our hands.

This year I'm once again pulling for every single win we can get till the end of the season, no doubt about it. Every one of them helps the team bond and build some confidence for the future. No way I'd trade that for some extra ping-pong balls when this team has all the young talent that it needs already.

[Basti]

One more win matches the second-most since the KG trade.
Two more wins matches KG's final season.
Three more wins matches second-most since 2004-05.

While I am without a doubt in the camp that wants to win as many games as we can, I don't think those achievements would mean anything. In my opinion they should only compare this season's win total to last year's and then next years and so forth.
