ESPN is predicting the Wolves will finish 8th with 43.7 wins…

1.Oklahoma City Thunder — 59.2
2.Golden State Warriors — 56.1
3.Denver Nuggets — 52.2
4.LA Clippers — 49.7
5.Houston Rockets — 46.9
6.Los Angeles Lakers — 45.8
7.Memphis Grizzlies — 44.6
8.Minnesota Timberwolves — 43.7
9.Dallas Mavericks — 43.6
10.Sacramento Kings — 43.5
11.San Antonio Spurs — 40.1
12.Portland Trail Blazers — 35.8
13.Phoenix Suns — 34.7
14.New Orleans Pelicans — 32.6
15.Utah Jazz — 20.2

Wow, 7 games below the Vegas line! And only Abe has the "under" in our contest!

And just look at pathetic Utah! Vegas has them even worse at 18.5 wins. If we haven't put the "who won the Gobert trade" talk to bed already, another horrible season for the Jazz will certainly end the discussion. We're winning, they're losing, and we even seem to have more young talent than them despite the loss of picks. They have much better skiing though.

I'm shocked they don't have the Lakers at the top winning all 82 games.
