Minnesota Sports Forum

It's been a good ride all these years. It's gotta be getting close to 20 years that I have been apart of this forum between the ESPN boards and this one. Some things have changed a lot and some things still stay the same.

Personally I am just enjoying the ride. I think there is plenty of rational optimism for thinking the Wolves will make the playoffs. If they barely miss out we have a lottery pick which nobody really wants but it's a nice consolation prize. That draft thread is feeling pretty lonely... :)

Is it a coincidence that the Wolves haven't been in the playoffs since my time with the Wolves was over? I don't think so...

Utah has games against GS twice, BOS, SA, LAC and us.

Portland has OKC, BOS, NO, HOU, SA, LAC, DEN and Utah.

NO has HOU, POR, CLE, OKC, GS, LAC and SA.

OKC has MIA twice, POR, SA, DEN, NO, GS, HOU,

SA has Utah, MIL, WAS, OKC, HOU, LAC, POR and NO

That's 6/11, 8/11, 7/10, 8/9 and 8/10 tough games.

We've got Philly, Utah and Denver twice for 4/10. They're playing well, but that's a tough stretch to close the season especially Portland, NO, SA and OKC. They won't have room for almost any off nights off or they could drop quick. And we're only 1 game out of the loss column for everyone but Portland and we're tied with Utah. We're in good position to get back up to the 4/5 spot. Just need to close strong and not play down to our competition.

I'm happy we're a winning team again most likely to make the playoffs. But I'm concerned our coach is still up to his old ways.

I respect what your saying but if Thibs is a problem why do you think his former players want to still play for him? It seems like Taj especially thrives under Thibs as there seems to be no comparison from OKC Taj or Hoiberg Taj to the player we've gotten this year.
