Just the third time in Wolves history the Wolves have started 10-5. 2nd time in Finch's tenure.Wolvesfan21 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 20, 2025 9:29 am Wolves sitting at 10-5 on pace for 55 wins.
However our schedule has been light and we haven't beaten good team yet. I'd say OK start, but not where we would like to be.
I think our hope is, we haven't played our best or even B game against those winning squads. IF we start playing better we could be in for a nice season/postseason.FNG wrote: ↑Thu Nov 20, 2025 10:11 amYeah, 10-0 against teams with losing records, and 0-5 against teams with winning records. Mathematically a 10-5 record projects to 55 wins, but if you only beat teams with losing records, it's more like 41 wins. So I'll go out on a limb and predict the Wolves will end up with somewhere between 41 and 55 wins!Wolvesfan21 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 20, 2025 9:29 am Wolves sitting at 10-5 on pace for 55 wins.

Friday night against the Suns will tell us a lot about who we really are, as they are 9-6. I saw an early line that had the Wolves favored by 3 1/2, and that probably has a lot to do with the Suns missing Green and maybe Allen...of course we don't know if Jaden will play. It's a huge game for us not only because we have a chance for our first win against a winning team, but also because it's a cup game. I'm usually a homer optimist, but unless Ant gets out of his doldrums, I think there will be a lot of gloom and doom on this board Friday night and Saturday.
That’s the bright side view and it’s a reasonable one.Wolvesfan21 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 20, 2025 11:03 amI think our hope is, we haven't played our best or even B game against those winning squads.

In Klunk-O-Meter fashion, I put Denver and OKC in tier 1, and the Wolves along with other "seemingly playoff-bound teams" in tier 2. I get roughly 60 wins for the Wolves. They have had 1 klunker thus far -- the home game against the Lakers. I have not decided whether Phoenix is playoff-bound or not. Getting the win tomorrow makes it a moot point and keeps the Wolves on track for roughly 60 wins.Lipoli390 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 20, 2025 2:28 pmThat’s the bright side view and it’s a reasonable one.Wolvesfan21 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 20, 2025 11:03 amI think our hope is, we haven't played our best or even B game against those winning squads.

Either the meltdowns stop and we get better or changes will be made. Alore won't sit on their hands forever.Wolvesfan21 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 25, 2025 4:48 am This is now a terrible basketball team. After 10-5 and now 10-8 after the OKC loss we are on pace for 46 wins.
What made me think we'd have a chance to get better? We're getting worse!
