Well, even while we are winning, we aren't worth "much."


Get a new arena and that number goes way up.

Here are the teams that under deliver so far: PHI 9-16, MIL 14-12, MIA 13-12, PHX 14-12, SAC 13-15, IND 13-15. MIN 14-12. Which ones has better chance to pull ahead and which ones going to sink? What is Wolves' chance compared to them? Assuming no roster changes.

I don't think things will improve a lot for us unless we make a trade. Randle is a terrible fit for this team and it won't change. PHI and MIL will improve for sure.

Philly is doing a Wolves job in Boston. Giving to up lead and let BOS back in the game late. I guess that is why Philly and Wolves both under achieve this year.

Bulls just had one of the most disgusting meltdowns I have ever seen. So so nasty! Nightmare fuel.

Sir John Cunningham : May I take this opportunity of emphasizing that there is no cannibalism in the British Navy, absolutely none. And when I say none, I mean there is a certain amount, more than I personally admit. But, all new Ratings are warned that if they wake up in the morning and find any toothmarks at all anywhere on their bodies, they are to tell me immediately so that I can immediately take every measure to hush the whole thing up. And finally, necrophilia is right out.

LOL I said Mike Brown was cooked after that game last night. I don't even think it was his fault but I just knew that domino was going to fall. That's how this business works.

You can only play who’s in front of you. It looks like Brunson was out too though.

Jaden Ivy got chop blocked by Cole Anthony (not intentional based on video,) and suffered a broken fibula as a result. His season is likely over.

Precisely.

Klomp was previously touting how Minnesota was 9-4 before the loss against OKC -- four straight defeats prior to that stretch, two of which against teams worse than the Wolves. A loss tonight would make it 9-6, which isn't nearly as impressive.
