Record after ten?

[Lipoli390]

I also voted 3-7, but almost went with 2-8. We nearly gave up a big lead and lost to the Cavs with Butler in home opener. Note that the Cavs lost by 22 points at home last night to the Atlanta Hawks -- yes, the Hawks. We have home games in our remaining 7 games in this stretch against the Pacers, Bucks, Lakers and Jazz. I'm thinking we'll win two fo those. I don't see us winning any of our 3 remaining road games. Hence my 3-7 prediction.

[Lipoli390]

I chose 2 - 8.

And I won't be watching any of it... until the Butler embarrassment is settled. Glen and Thibs might actually think 4D chess exists.

Again, this is not some reactionary overzealous fan take. Quite the opposite really. Should we blindly support an organization no matter what. Blindly cheer for players who couldn't care less about the people paying money or wasting time to watch them play?

There could be some clever 4D chess thing going on with Wolves management. I don't really know. But they've never done anything in 30 years as a franchise -- and more importantly -- 24 years with Taylor at the helm to give them the benefit of the doubt.

My mini-meltdown/boycutt will do nothing. Obviously.

But nobody really cares about the fans anyway.

This is the most logical perspective I've heard. Unfortunately, I don't have the willpower to not watch.

I'm in Doper's camp - agreeing with Abe but lacking the will power to stop myself from watching. Besides, I have a season ticket investment that will have me going to most of this season's home games no matter what.

If you're going to make 7-3 an option you may as well 10-0 an option as they're both equally likely!

2-8

8-2 if thibs is fired before this tip off.

That sums it up pretty well.

Shame on you 2-8 Debbie Downers...I'm at least happy that Abe got to see his prediction go up in flames in person!

I'm feeling good about my 4-6, but the Wolves need to hold serve Wednesday against Utah. 6-4 is still in play if we can sweep the Warriors and Blazers on the road...well, a guy can dream, can't he?

My 5-5 seems within the realm of possibility. It was a calculated guess that in the current situation we're a .500 team with Jimmy. It would surprise me if we remain a .500 team without him too.

I think all of 2-8 guys should get a disclaimer due to Abe jumping on the wagon. He was clearly bad luck! :)

Doper, you made me think about this team with and without Jimmy, and the fact that we are likely looking at 3-7, maybe 4-6 after ten. That really doesn't speak that well to Jimmy's contribution. I think this team with a couple of additions like a JRich or Gordon, and an extra lottery pick (which is likely the final result with our pick getting better and an additional late pick), could still be a mid 40's win team next season. I don't think it is all gloom and doom. We were a 30 win team without Thibs and Butler, so why can't we improve from that.

Yeah Jimmy being a total asshole has not been that great for winning. Who would have thought? Every other industry in the world has found that a healthy work environment improves productivity with the inverse being true. Why should basketball be different?

Half of the voters have been mathematically eliminated with still 2 more games to play...it's time for the 3-7 doubters to hand thier heads in shame!


Still like my 4-6 with 2 tough road games coming up, but Doper and the other 5-5 boys are still in contention. I know Butler isn't popular on this board, but he may have another Laker-type game and help us steal one in either Oakland or Portland. I'd like to be wrong about my 5-5!
