Minnesota is now locked into the play-in.

The game against New Orleans tomorrow will determine whether or not Minnesota will have an opportunity to get the seventh seed.

Beating NOP we clinch the 8th seed and the chance to play 1 game (LAL) for the PO (MEM series)...correct?

Yes.

If the Lakers lose against the Jazz (highly unlikely as they have all the intention to tank), we would climb up to 7 if we win our match against the Pelicans. This would mean that we play at home.

The last game of Utah vs LA last week had the Jazz not playing any starters yet the game went to OT.

Well, of course the National media is killing is now and rightfully so. Saying we’re talented but the dumbest team ever. Also saying we have no chance against the Lakers etc etc

Without Naz, JMcD, a good Nowell, and possibly Gobert, it will be difficult in LAL or NOP take 2. I am sure the league will do what it can for a Lakers vs MEM series.

At least Towns is playing aggressive and fill in Naz's scoring. If we get a good Nowell and Gobert back, we will be OK. We do have a lot of dumb or immature or raging players on the team

It will be difficult, but we did literally just do it against the Pelicans, and while we were actively fighting each other.

True and NOP shoot 14.3% from 3s which is about as out of character as our punches. I am not sure I will go to Vegas with those odds

Are we able to sign someone with the injuries and have him be able to play for the postseason, or just the 2 way guys now? No Jaden or Naz would be smart to bring in Garza and possibly Ryan to have a full roster.

We don't have enough people injured to qualify for an exception.

The 2-way players are not Playoff eligible. We'd have to cut someone and then convert a 2-way to a standard contract.
