What is the minimum amount of games Wolves need to Win where you would feel happy about how they performed?

25. Right now I'd bet on 20-25 though.

As many wins as it takes for them to clinch a playoff spot in the west. Doesn't seem realistic for them to make the playoffs this year, but it isn't impossible.

They can lose every game of the season and I'll still be happy with watching my T-Wolves play again. I think the 20-25 wins is most realistic at the moment (especially with the shortened season). We still have zero defensive capability, but then again who knows what will happen?

If we can't win half the games it will be a disappointment ... SG does concern me though.

Rubio/Williams/Adelman and the others with a year of experience should be significant. They can make excuses for only so long, and I see a short leash on a few of these guys.

I want to see win about 20 in this shortened season just to frustrate LAC fans, but for me personally, it's more about the quality of wins, not necessarily the quantity.

I'd like to see them win some close games in the fourth quarter, and I'd like to see them out-athletic some veteran teams. I'm still hoping we see someone else emerge on this squad too .. I'm looking for that.

I'll just be happy if they show improved play as the season goes on. I don't have a number in my head, just play better. 27 wins will double last seasons win percentage. I'd be giddy with 27 wins.

the west is going downhill with the lkes of blazers (no oden or roy) hornetts(paul leaving) suns,denver (maybe no nene or chandler or martin) and utah getting worse in the off season
so im expecting 30 wins,this year is important if we dont improve will beasley and love stick around when there contracts end ?

Bad question.

I still don't care about wins. That pick we owe the clips could turn out number one and it wouldn't bother me anymore than if it was 10th. What makes me happy is getting to watch Rubio in a Wolves uni, and getting another season of T-Wolves basketball.

Prepare to be disappointed.

I'd be happy with 25+.

That's a good attitude Breakdown but I'm afraid Mr. Love is going to want to see some significant improvement in the win column before resigning. 25 wins would be the equivalent of 31 in a regular season. That seems like a good improvement over last year yet doable at the same time.

I would say at least a double dig win improvement so our record was 17 last year so 27 would be on my lower end.I say any were from 27 to 32 wins and then next season when make another 10+game improvement and make the playoffs.

You're forgetting about the shortened season.

I hope expecting 25 wins doesn't make me a homer. Just glad the NBA is finally back, but this condensed schedule will make it hard for me to accomplish anything.

Like most of the guys 25+ I think is good improvement ...

lobishome · Post #16 » by **lobishome** » Sun Dec 11, 2011 10:41 am

It's excessive but 40-26 because it's the only option with positive average. We have 4/5 players with a big improvement capacity. If they go a step further, we will get more wins than lost games. Also, dreaming is free.

22. 5 Wins more than last season in a compressed season is all i can hope for.

Busch Legion · Post #18 » by **Busch Legion** » Sun Dec 11, 2011 12:07 pm

I wanna see development in players... Beasley and Johnson. How will Love's game improve with the new look? Im going to be lenient on the wins again, whole new system players etc. But i'd like to see better, less sloppy basketball.

King Rube · Post #19 » by **King Rube** » Sun Dec 11, 2011 5:44 pm

I am betting 21, but I would love 25.

With the shortened season I'm not going to hope for a certain number of wins. I'm hoping our pick to the Clippers is outside of the top 5, record wise. That'd be nice, and realistic.
