I think it's fair to be worried about them overpaying Wentz and being stuck in a way. I think you have to look at the KOC era and they really haven't been willing to pay anyone crazy money. Are they really gonna be willing to give Murray like 50 million a year or something? Maybe but I kinda doubt ...

I saw one more, Iman Shumpert on ESPN picked the Wolves in 7. Seems 90% plus picking the Nuggies.

Obviously growth isn't constant, Ant could have peaked and he might still keep getting better. He just had his best offensive season ever so he is still getting better. Defensively not so much, but I do think when we decide to put a real point guard next to Ant in the future, we will get a more con...

Sure, if they run that gauntlet, everyone on the Wolves' profile will rise. But who knows who the catalyst of this unlikely run would be?

I say the switch to flip is too large. Denver has gotten better then the last time we snuck by them in 7.

Who you got and in how many?

Let's not overlook the fact that Rudy has been outstanding in the playoffs each of the past two seasons, although he did play fewer minutes last season compared to the prior playoffs (27 MPG vs. 34). But there's no question we were much better when he was on the court than when he was sitting. We o...
