Haven't had the flu in 25 years. And never had a shot.
No flu shot here either. No idea when I last had the flu. I drink Bourbon regularly to combat the virus. Now that I think of it sometimes I do get the bottle flu. Would the shot help me with that?

I'll take a playoff run, that would mean watching some winning basketball and I would deem this year as entertaining. Do I want more than the playoffs and out? Yes I do and once you make the playoffs anything can happen and if we are a playoff caliber team maybe a trade or two happens. I guess I can paint a scenario where KAT plays like one of the best bigs in the league and Wiggins reaches his potential, sprinkle in role players with hustle, defense and anything can happen. Low odds sure, far fetched maybe, both KAT and Wiggs were taken #1 overall and are dripping with talent so yes I want them to get playoff experience post Jimmy B.
Count me in for a playoff appearance. Shocker!
No more tanking for this organization. 1 playoff berth in 15 years isn't enough for me. Expecting to make the playoffs every year doesn't even seem out of line considering that more than 50% of the league makes the playoffs and the Wolves have one of the league's most promising young players.
Yes, give me a team that competes, plays a fun brand of ball and wins its fair share of games versus yet another season of misery and hoping for a high lottery pick that more often than not ends up disappointing us. Most teams that eventually win a title first squeaked into the playoffs at a lower to mid seed and lost. Sometimes they lost in the playoffs for multiple years before finally breaking through.
I get the logic of tanking when your roster has run its course with its existing players and aged out. But that's not the Wolves this year.
I don't like tanking for the mindset of the current players. KAT and Wiggins need to compete and continue to improve even if the rest of the squad isn't top tier. These guys are in their mid 20's now. How about finding a great shooting coach to help some of these guys mentally and technically (Okogie, Graham, Culver, Layman.)
