I wouldn’t be surprised al all if we get beat in the play in tournament by either the Lakers, are the Clippers by 10 points.

That's not glass half full....


Haha

Yeah we lead the league in playing teams with injuries like I said the only good team we have played the past six games has been Philadelphia and they beat us by 31 points. With James Harden they are just in a different stratosphere then we are.

I hope I’m wrong but if Paul George comes back and Anthony Davis comes back we will not beat either one of those two in a play in let’s face it.

Warriors game was without Edwards. Injuries happen. After our COVID run and with our history, I'm not going to apologize for beating shorthanded teams.

Warriors did not have Draymond Green or Klay Thompson come on man. The only team we played at full strength was Philly.

I agree that it can be more difficult to truly understand where we'll be come playoff time...as to your point, we have run into some teams with guys out (Memphis might be the other one your missing though?). But that's also been the same for the rest of the league....& it sort of starts to get into that argument that the Suns weren't that good because of the tremendous luck they had last year in the playoffs that many felt? And guess what, we're finding out the Suns are just pretty damn good. Does it fall the same way for th Wolves time will tell soon enough, but until then, my advice--Enjoy the season! If you've been a fan for any length of time...you deserve it.

Injuries and luck are part of the game. We have been on the wrong side of that before (just look at last season) and it sucks. Toy take what you get and run with it, it is certainly a big-time advantage to be largely healthy as we are and its great that we have taken advantage of that fact and it could be what helps give us an edge.

This team is truly made for losers that cannot be happy for once and seems to miss the days that all were loses to just complain about it.

Sabonis suspended for one game on the same night they play the Nuggets. Maybe we are cursed.

Knicks are demolishing Dallas.

Nuggets close with Sac but no Sabonis for the Kings.

Utah is killing Portland also.

So I didn't realize Utah, Dallas, Denver are so close together, and we are only ~3 games back of the 4 spot.

Utah has tie breaker. We own the tie breaker over Denver. Two games with the Mavs will decide that tie breaker. Series at 1-1 so far.

Correct, it's going to be a wild finish!

Yep, Jokic got a clutch board and and-1. Then they got another and-1. That was it.
