How many wins for these new Twolves?
I havnt been able to watch a game yet, but the highlights have been good for yall recently. Kevin Love is obviously beasting and beastley seems to be finding his way w the ball back in his hands. It looks like a different team this year but I want to hear from those who follow closely, how improved are they?

I'd say that this is pretty likely.

OJ Mayo is one of the best defenders in the league, hes a two way player and hes a great passer and playmaker.

Agreed, but with an outside chance at 30+

Re: How many wins for these new Twolves?
Yeah, I think the range is 25-35.
If we continue to put in this kind of effort night in and night out then we might even go past that, but as it stands we're probably at the point when we can beat the bad teams and the ones we match up well with, like Milwaukee and New York, but not on the level to beat the really good teams like LA or Boston.

Re: How many wins for these new Twolves?
I think this is an interesting time for the Wolves. While I'm going to go with the consensus that we could win anywhere between 20-35 games, any kind of progress would be welcome. It's a slow rebuilding process but I feel like the Knicks game represented a turning point, the talisman game that signifies that we're on our way back. I feel like the team is finally on the upswing, and interesting timing too with a few other young franchises faltering of late.
I'm gonna say 31 wins. Not exactly ambitious, I know, but I'd be a happy camper if we surpassed 30.

Re: How many wins for these new Twolves?
Despite seeing some games played, i still think the range is in the 25-35 mark. Less than 25 and i am dissapointed. 30+ and im walkin' on sunshine.

Re: How many wins for these new Twolves?
Call me negative but I'd be happy with 25. Shows progress from a horrific year last year, I'd be happy for some steady progress.

Re: How many wins for these new Twolves?
If they keep up the effort that they've shown the past 3 games then 25-35 is pretty realistic.

Re: How many wins for these new Twolves?
I would be surprised if they get to 25. I think they will have a few wins against good teams because we do have some talent, but will often lose to the bad ones because we don't have sustained experience for winning. The Wolves remain one of the youngest teams in the league, and a team in transition, with talent waiting in the wings. I would be happy simply seeing occasional wins but good effort and lots of individual growth. The biggest lasting difference between 31 wins and 23 isn't 8 more victories (out of 72) .. its a better lottery pick.

I would be satisfied if Minny can win 20 games and Beasley ends with all his teeth.

Re: How many wins for these new Twolves?
The next few games will be telling. Right now we look like a different team than the one that played the Hawks a week ago. The Hawks are good, and right now everybody in the NBA knows Kevin Love's name. What happens?? And how do the Wolves respond?
Right now I am a big believer in Rambis. I think the team is really believing what he's saying, and going for the idea of identifying with being a winning team. That being said, we have an absolutely brutal schedule.
30-35 wins.
