I rather see Towns average over 20 shots a game than have my barely below 500 win total materialize. We should really be testing the limits of his efficiency. There is no reason for him to not lead the league in shot attempts this season.

Yep, let him go full 2015-17 DeMarcus Cousins and take as many shots as he can physically handle. He could probably average over 30 on decent efficiency doing that.

So he becomes our "James Harden"? And then we are officially Houston North? ;-)

18 wins.....because they are the wolves!
Haven't watched a game yet (or play for that matter). Let me know when they come back to just play BB, and maybe I'll tune in.

I actually think its our best chance to win. Homegrown, inexperienced Mike Tice had the Randy Ratio for the Vikes. We need Ryan to being out the KAT Count. If we aren't actually serious about winning let's be serious about getting KAT all NBA.

Wow- I would guess 35 is about the mean here! Maybe we're smarter than Vegas!

I predicted 35 - 37. Does that make me the smartest of all!?!?!?!?!

They must know that at least 35 of our games are not against Memphis... ;-)

Nope, being on the same page with Nate Silver does not make you the smartest. Silver also predicted that Joe Biden would win the presidency, and Rand Paul and Ron Johnson are telling me that Trump won ;-) .
