The schedule has also been incredibly unfriendly towards Europeans. There was a total of 4 games being tipped off before midnight CET and not a single Sunday Matinee game (usually 8-9pm CET). I realize Europe isn't Minnesota's main market, but there are a lot of posters on these boards, who are.

Unfortunately, as the team (hopefully!) improves, they will get more nationally televised and US-primetime games, meaning even less games for us Euros.

On a side note, I'd love the Wolves to play their pre-season in Europe once again. Last time was 2010 in London (That was my first and only Wolves game so far). Spain (Barcelona) would be a good choice for Ricky fans or even a game against a Serbian team for Bjelica fans. Realistically though, they will try to stir up some more excitement in the Midwest in an attempt to get more butts into the arena.

Nice. One loss away from the 7th best lottery odds. Might even tie with the Knicks for 6th if they win today. Dont screw this up!

No, there isnt tie breakers in the lottery. The teams who share the position simply get an average of ping pong balls that both positions would get. If both fall off of the lottery, then a coin flip is used to know who get the better pick. The same mechanism is used if there is more than 2 teams with the same record.

NBA isn't like NFL, with only a few primetime games. I'd say at least 90% of NBA games are already primetime. Success won't change that.

Was this the end of Ricky's Wolves career?

I don't believe so, unless he gets blown away by an offer.
