The Timberwolves have not had a 7 or more win streak since the 2003-2004 NBA season, 20 years. Every season several NBA teams seem to pull off 7, 8, 10 game win streaks but not us. The most we have managed in recent years is 5 games and that seemed like a gargantuan feat. Can we finally pull off a 7 gamer this year? Currently we are in the midst of a 4 game win streak with our next 3 games being against he Spurs and two games against the Warriors. Could we get seven during this run?

I would have voted for it during this streak, but GSW back to back might make it more difficult.

Spoiler:

I will happily be wrong, however!!

I gave you a plus one after reading the spoiler. Screw the Warriors.

Yes 3 times, twice in the regular season and once in the playoffs.

I like the way you think, But let's make it an 8 gamer in the playoffs two series sweeps.

Dangit, now you jinxed it...

I wonder if we win 16 straight in the regular season before we win 16 straight in the playoffs?

I like 16 straight in the playoffs.

We really have a chance to do this Tuesday. I didn't think it could happen this early. I hope we finally get over the hump, its crazy the Sixers already got an 8 game streak, I don't know how other teams do it but maybe we finally will.

I'm one of two that voted we would do it during the current streak. It's looking good. That one will be at home? Or another at Warriors?

This next game will be the closest in feel to a play off game. The Wolves will play the same team, back-to-back, on the same court, with two days rest. Each coach will be able to look over the previous game and make adjustments. I think Kerr is a good coach, but so is Finch. And on top of all that, it’s our second game in the In-Season Tournament.

My worries about the Wolves aren’t about talent. It’s about mentality. I think this next game will be a great test to see if we are developing there, and it has the chance to give me more optimism for our quality of play in the playoffs next year.

Finch talked a lot about there being more meat left on the bone after last night's game. That along with having last year's actual playoff experience, and I'm hopeful they will be in the proper mindset!

Well 5 of you were right! I didn't believe we would do it during this run, I did think we would probably do it at some point this season. There is absolutely no chance in hell I would have thought we would do it during this stretch to start the season if I knew who we were playing.

I'm actually proud of the guys tonight! 7 in a bleeping row?!! What the hell is that?

KAT says it was a "mature win tonight". Sure was.

KAT is playing great! What? No KAT trade talk? Sorry, couldn't help it.

He keeps playing like this and staying under control like this; who would want him gone? He’s been excellent lately.

I think we need a new steak thread

I hold off until after tomorrow night. Let's see how well Minott, Garza, Moore, Brown and Nix play against the Suns.

Three of the five who "Got it Right" didn't vote until the streak was already at 6 and Curry was questionable for tonight's game. I don't give them much credit.
