If we win this game and our next two against Denver, we could actually be the 8th seed .

Yeah, this season you can go to the playoffs even without trying. It is weird.

I predict another win tonight to get us closer to that 13th/14th pick.

I'm goin to the game tonight, should be a fun one. I'd prefer we lose this, our next few games have big lottery implications, but I wouldn't be surprised if we pulled it out.

I'm excited to see Booker go up against Lavine, both of them are very bad defenders and very gifted scorers with nice strokes, so I predict plenty of points between them. I wanted Lavine so bad that draft, but the Wolves took him right before us. Still happy with TJ though. I have a feeling that Kris Dunn is going to have a rough night dealing with Bledsoe, and that we're going to have a tough time dealing with KAT. I wonder if Dragan will play tonight after that ankle injury.

Interesting rosters. Lets play "Would you rather" have:

1. Rubio or Bledsoe
2. LaVine or Booker
3. Wiggins or Warren
4. Dieng or Chriss
5. KAT or Chandler (substitute Len here realistically)

The only swap I really would want is #5. #3 might be close.

Bledsoe, Booker, Wiggins, Chriss, KAT

That team would be sick

All-Non-Defense Team (except Bled when he feels like defending)

And LaVine had a promise from the Suns. And he was sooooo happy to be drafted by the Wolves..

That 8th seed is ours.

I always assumed that was just him being emotional about being picked. Some guys fall way late and even fall to the second round, like Deyonta Davis in the last draft, and it's got to be a huge relief to hear your name called in the first round.

I was disappointed too. Thought he would look really good here. After him I was wanting nurkic, I don't remember looking at tj.

You can have it when you pry it from our cold, dead hands.
Conversely we may be competing for the 14th pick in the draft.
