Read on Twitter? Hope Wolves don't bring that much effort.

Rose tells Jim and Benz he needs their help getting Glen to bring him back.

Me myself and I here. Later.

Gorgui and Tyus have been playing way better.

I still think the Heat effed up by not trading for Butler.

No Teague, no Gibson, no Rose, no Covington. Heat playoffs on the line, wolves need more lotto balls. Heat on the bring of losing this game.

Wolves might trade the pick anyway. This team was deeper than people were saying. Couple guys stay out of injury trouble and it was a playoff team out of sheer depth. Only had to figure out how to keep them showing up. Learning how to like winning.

Heat don't deserve the playoffs. Let a more competitive team get in instead.

I enjoyed watching the wolves win this game

Honestly, I'd rather see the team play hard and win down the stretch than some form of tanking. Should be an interesting game on Sunday with OKC.

It's a no lose situation for me whenever I watch late season games when we're eliminated from the playoffs already.
We win - cool! it's always nice to see the team win (which is what I always prefer)
We lose - hey, at least it helps our draft lottery chances
:lol:

It's a familiar place to be; it's like this every year.

I mean no offense but it's kind of amazing that trash teams like Orlando and Miami are in the playoff picture. The East never ceases to amaze.

This narrative doesn't work this year.

West 6-15 and East 6-15 are pretty even in talent. The Clippers were supposed to be a trash team, as you put it

what?!?

The Clippers are much, much better than the Magic,
the Thunder are much, much better than the Nets,
the Spurs are much, much better than the Pistons,
the Kings vs the Heat
the Wolves vs the Hornets
the Lakers vs the lol Wizards
the Pelicans vs the Hawks
the Grizzlies vs the Bulls
the Mavs vs the Cavs (thats fun to say)
the Suns vs the Knicks

Those East teams are trash, sir. All of them.

The Clippers are much, much better than the Magic, No. Maybe slightly better
the Thunder are much, much better than the Nets, Yes
the Spurs are much, much better than the Pistons, No. Slightly better
the Kings vs the Heat Pretty even
the Wolves vs the Hornets Pretty even
the Lakers vs the lol Wizards Pretty even
the Pelicans vs the Hawks Pretty even
the Grizzlies vs the Bulls Grizz slightly better
the Mavs vs the Cavs (thats fun to say) Mavs considerably better
the Suns vs the Knicks Pretty even

Wolves, Lakers and Pelicans have 1 big star, but pretty trash rosters

And there's a big gulf between 8 and 9 in the West, that's why the playoff race has been over for a while.

If Sac was in the East they'd be in that playoff race with the Magic, Pistons, Heat, Nets etc. but there isn't this huge conference imbalance.

Boston is also the 4th seed and you could say they're as good as anyone in the West outside of the Warriors

Orlando is the sixth seed in the East, at 40-40. If they were in the West, they would be six games out of the playoffs.

He was talking about ORL being in the playoffs. I don’t think with a 40-40 record, playing more games against Eastern opponents, allows you to equivocate the difference in making the playoff the two conferences. That said, I’m happy to see Magic fans get to go to the playoffs.
