Yeah, the Denver loss was big. Gives us a little breathing room. We have got to steal a game or two here though.

Do we have a draft thread yet? I have some thoughts.

Looks like AD went down hard. I hope it's not a horrible injury. Everytime that guy does something amazing it gets derailed.

only the nuggets lost.

jazz are going to be a tough out in the playoffs. They are a great defensive team with gobert anchoring them.

Go ahead and start one Cam I am interested to hear your thoughts. I looked and the draft threads on this board are from like November. Isn't that refreshing?! :)

X-rays were negative so that's good.

It's just a handful of games but Emeka Okafor is quite the feel good story right now. He is a guy that's given the Pels a solid defensive rebounding center for a few minutes a game next to AD. Over 5 rebounds and almost 2 blocks in less than 16mpg all in a league where centers are going out of style. I am happy to see it he was always a really solid player.

Would be sorta ironic if/is Okafor is a playoff starter in 2018 while Dwight Howard sits at home for a disappointing lottery team.

We're getting some help from the Wizards tonight as they seem on their way to a lopsided win over the Pelican in New Orleans. The bad news is that the Wolves will be playing the Wizards soon at Washington. The Wizards look really good although you can't overlook the fact that Anthony Davis isn't playing.

It would turn out to be a great night for the Wolves if the Warriors end up beating the Blazers later tonight. Ultimately it's up to the Wolves to take care of business and start winning games. And although I liack confidence in the Wolves ability to finish higher than 7th, the Wolves could still end up as high as 3rd or 4th and have home court advantage in the opening round of the playoffs. Of course, the Wolves could also end up in the lottery. Looks like the Jazz will win tonight. So while the Wolves should have their sights set on climbing higher in the standings, they should look out below for the Jazz, Clipper and Nuggets.

Man it feels weird to be back in the states where games happening at night are actually happening at night. I was confused for a few seconds reading this post Lip. :) I just saw a kid in the airport bathroom that had an Anthony Davis jersey on. The Lakers are competitive so far against the Nuggets and we can hope for a Cavs win over the Clippers also. It's nice to be scoreboard watching for the top 8 sports instead of how high of a pick we can get.

Choosing Kris Dunn over Jamal Murray is going to cost this franchise for the next decade.
