Dammit Wildwolf.

I wanted to revise my prediction. Now, I MUST do it.

18 wins. 18 fucking wins. You read that right. 18 - 64. But don't get me wrong. We'll do this exercise again next season and we'll see the same optimistic replies and mantras:

- "This season Ricky will be healthy. He makes everybody else so much better. We saw that last season on Tuesday games in rainy weather in temps below 43 degrees against teams with white lettering on their jerseys."

- "Flip being out set this team back an entire season (e.g., decade)."

- "Towns just had the best rookie season of all-time, or at least since Wiggins' rookie campaign. He's a superstar SOON."

- "Wiggins showed improvement. His field goal percentage went up .00002. How can you call his 2nd season disappointing? How dare you!"

- "LaVine is still young. But he's going to learn how to play. He's NOT Gerald Green or Rashad McCants like in any way. You'll see when he finally gets to play his actual position."

- "Our #1 draft pick has franchise superstar potential. What could go wrong?"

you should bookmark this post for next year.

Nice one Abe. "Our guys are still learning how to play together, they're very young, but have lots of potential, we should see a big improvement next season with a full year now from these young guys to evaluate their strengths and weaknesses."

Geez, I'm not even this negative (although I do get a chuckle out of all the rationalizations).

I still think despite a putrid pre-season we still have 20-something wins in us. We've played a pretty tough schedule so far in the pre-season.

One thing I never understood from the beginning is how folks could have possibly pegged us for 40+ wins. It just didn't make sense in the context of the Western Conference (or even the East for that matter, but it's less of a stretch over there of course).

Please add my revised prediction of 29 wins that I had midway through the preseason
