It looks like the top 2 teams after 4 games play for the summer league title this year. Do you guys think we have a shot?

I think we have a shot, but that doesn't leave much room for error. Probably need to go 4-0 to be in the top two. I also don't know how much emphasis our coaches will put on winning vs. development and giving a few of the unsigned guys on the roster a lot of run to get a long look. We also have to keep the key guys healthy. So if Nowell, McDaniels, or Knight have even the slightest twinge or tweak, I imagine they get pulled from summer league for good.
We should get a better feel for things after they get their second game under their belt later today.

Very unlikely, even if the Wolves go 4-0 the tiebreaker is pt differential. Right now the wolves are +2 while the Blazers are +27 (2-0) and the Rockets are +28 (2-0) its just going to be really hard to catch them if they keep winning.

That's a great point Kek. I didn't know the tiebreaker rules. Hopefully those teams drop a game

Wolves now in 2nd! We'd be in the title game if the "regular season" ended today*! They play the undefeated Sixers on Sunday so that should be a test. If the Wolves win that one, I'm pretty sure they will be playing Boston for the championship.
*Sacramento still has a chance to overtake them in the standings if they blow out Memphis tonight

Well, Sacramento blew out Memphis so they are now in second place at 4-0. The Wolves are not only going to have to beat the Sixers, but also win by a wide enough margin to ensure they have the tiebreaker in point differential.
Go Summer League Wolves!
