Last time this team won 6 in a row was 2004

AKA ive never seen a Wolves team win 6 in a row in my life and ive been a fan for 15 years lmao.

We’ve been through all the bad seasons and now we’re potentially getting 6 in meaningful March games..this feels so good

Nearly the entire existence of RealGM....certainly longer than most of us have been posting here.

I was a fan back then but probably fairly casual.

Cbs says V8 and Bev are out, Dlo, Ant, and Nowell in. No word on TP.

I forgot to ask in the last game thread, but listening to wolves pre game reminded me, if your Jake Layman and you get MVP chants while missing free throws, how do you react to that?

Me too! I actually came when Star Tribune shut their board down if I recall correctly. Think that was an only one thread board.

Can’t believe the gap between potential 6 game winning streaks is old enough to vote.

Am I the first person to bring up the fact that KAT is like %40.2 from three this season and so he is reducing his attempts per game out of fear/precaution he won't fall under 40

OK more serious observation. We essentially have the same roster as last season, subtracting Rubio/Hernangomez/Culver for Beverly and Prince and all of a sudden we go from #7th overall pick in draft order to 7th in the Western Conference finals? Either we already had the roster, anchored by a generational talent like KAT, that was capable of competing all along, as proven by Finch's tenure, or Beverly is such a key culture builder that his value is that of someone like KAT or Ant... I think it's the former more than the latter, which makes me excited about the future.

I think it’s a combination of Bev/Prince, Finch having a full offseason and general development.

Thunder don't want to get clowned and they are starting out aggressive.

Don't count the 6 game winning streak just yet. Thunder can actually be dangerous.

Noticing Beasley has actually been pretty good moving the ball since his shot has been dropping. He has some utility there for sure.

Rosas really traded Keita Bates, Shabazz Napier, Noah Vonleh to get Malik Threesley, and The Vandolorian.
