If it makes you all feel any better, we don't have the worst record in the NBA!

[PeeDee]

I guess I can't really argue that they're wrong.

[Krapinsky]

Yep, we are the worst. We lost to Sac and OKC. Can't really argue with that.

Top 3 pick, woohoo!

[_AIJ_]

its not that surprising that we are last. wittbrick all the way!

Just remember who hired him.

Nevertheless as a die-hard Wolves fan, this ranking is sobering.

[Calinks]

I have nothing to say. We have played like garbage so we deserve to thrown in the bin. At least last year I thought we had good efforts. Some of the crap I have seen this season... Kevin Garnett must be rolling over in his grave.

[southern wolf]

At least SI mentioned some nice lines from Love.

Chrisitan Laettner must be rolling over in his grave...

Al J = premier offensive low post player, should be a better passer, apparently little interest in defense as well

M. Miller = not as good at getting his shot as I thought, D is suspect, but he's OK

K Love = effort+smarts+some skills; concern = already close to his ceiling?

R Foye = disappointment - has not developed - lacks identity as player

R McCants = disappointment - has not developed - poor defender for his skill level

Bassy = better than he was, but still has a long way to go to be more than a back-up PG

C. Brewer = give him some slack but inconsistent, hope he doesn't join Foye/McCants club

R. Gomes = solid for who he is, but unfortunately he's not 6-10

C. Smith = good for short stretches and vs. certain match-ups

Just not a lot to work with here. Collins might help.

I dont understand how anyone can be a disappointment after 6 games.

[digitaldropoff]

Yeah...we are sucking rather hard..but I try not to put too much into these rankings...for one...how can a team that hasn't won any games be ranked higher than us? Tougher schedule, one less game played, but no wins and that team is noticeably better? I'll wait till AS break to assess how bad we really are not care about the dopes at ESPN.

[Frozen316]

"The Wolves are 0-5 since and showing their youth, with three of those losses coming by four points or fewer."

It's better than losing by 10+ every game

[hijacktheparade]

I wonder what it would feel like to be in the teens again.

[Frozen316]

Or .500

[revprodeji]

the fact that we are losing by a few shows us that it is not a lost cause. A change here or there and our record is much better. It is a long season. Put the white flag away and regroup.
