Would like to see the Wolves take 3 of their next 4 games at home.
Rubio will be back tomorrow night and we should match up fairly well with Skiles' Magic, who are playing well, but don't have the depth of the Wolves.
Portland is the team I really want to beat given the way we lost to them the first time. We will need Rubio/Lavine/Wiggins combo to stop Lillard. I do think we're showing a lot harder on the pick and roll than we were the first time we played them so we should get this win.
If we can split with the Lakers and Clippers I'd be more than happy.
Let's put the homecourt in the home court on this stand.
If we can take all four the next two games on the road are also very winnable and it would be nice to get a good run in during this easy portion of the schedule.
What a difference a year makes.

Yeah, if you really look at the next 10 games, all are winnable. We could make some serious headway in the playoff standings over the next couple of weeks. We'll see if these guys are up to it.

Re: 4 Game Homestand
I like this home stand. We will beat the Lakers, and we should be in revenge mode for the other 3 teams. I will be very disappointed if we don't win at least 3 (which will put us back over .500), and I am hoping for a 4-game sweep. I think we're better than everyone except the Clippers, and maybe the return of Rubio and less home cooking will help us beat them too. We catch the Clippers on the first game of a 5-game road trip to cold weather cities, so they may not be on their best game that night. 4-0 baby!

Will be disappointed with any losses on this homestand. But then again, I'm disappointed when we lose to the Warriors.

Huge homestand here. 8-9 is a strong start and now they have a legit chance to go over .500. This would be a huge accomplishment 21 games into the season. I think they can do it too. Even in the Clippers game, without Rubio, and playing a dud of a first half, they were breathing down the Clippers' necks right until the end. You can tell this team is finding a bit of swagger--Wiggins leading the way.
I think this first game is the key. If they can take care of business against the Magic, I see them going 3-1 at worst.
