How Meaningful is Preseason Success?

I don't know if it translate into the regular season, but at this point I'll take any win we can get.

Last 11 teams to lose 0 or 1 games in preseason have made playoffs. Possibles this year: ORL (5-0) BOS (6-1) MEM (6-0) UTA (6-0) MIN (5-1)

So if we finish off the pre-season with two more wins, cancel any play-off holiday plans.

"It's not a tell-all for what will happen during the season," Love said. "But, especially around here, where we're coming off a 15-win season, just to create a winning mentality? A win is a win. We know what to expect when the season comes. We'll have to kick it up a notch. Everybody else will be kicking it up a notch. But we're happy we're putting together a winning attitude."

Reality Check.

The Pacers are not a good team, and they took the Wolves to the wire and won, because they cared. I'm happy for the Wolves that they can get some wins and learn what it feels like, but they are in a world of hurt when the season starts. I will be happy if they can take two of their first ten.
