How Many More Games Can We Win? 

Post#1 » by Klomp » Wed Mar 6, 2013 1:18 am

We have just 25 games left on the season, with a "milestone" in reach

If we finish 7-18...most wins since Kevin Garnett trade

Is this attainable?

I say we win 8 games. Not going to win any games at the moment with Kirileno and Pek out or even 1 of those 2 out.

That's a horribly depressing 'milestone'. The injuries keep on piling up so I don't think we'll get 7 wins and that's probably for the best ahead of the draft lottery.

However many wins we'll need to reach the next worse tier of draft prospects (hello MCW and Plumlee) is the number we will likely win.

I'd rather not win anymore if possible. But Love is looking lean lately so who knows

Taylor is pushing for Love's and Bud's return to boost ticket sales for next season.

Who needs higher draft picks when you can sell a couple more season tickets?

25-0

Some other teams have some meltdowns and we slide into the 8th seed before sweeping all before us in our rush to the championship.

It could happen...


It most certainly won't happen.

I hope we can get someone better than Barnes. He's not exactly setting the world on fire.

Well, we need a shooting guard, so my guess is we'll draft a power forward or a point guard...

Don't enjoy tanking but not worries either way. We might has a little run at the end but we will still lose plenty of games.

Wolves just won! :rockon:

1-0 Off to a nice start! :lol:

Wasn't it Adelman also who coached the Rockets team that won 22 straight a couple of years ago? And majority of the wins was without T-Mac and Yao

And all of those wins were without Barea, Luke and Steamer.

I won :naaa:

Budinger has said he expects to return in 2/3 weeks, together Love I hope.

Difficult schedule of 24 games, 12 with the current roster and 12 with the entire roster without Roy.

3/12 + 7/12 = 10/24.

We gonna win 10 games. Enough for save Kahn's neck?
