Next 25 Games

[Lipoli390]

The Wolves have 25 games before the all-star break: 1) @Pacers. 2) Lakers, 3) @Nets, 4) @Boston, 5) Pelicans, 6) Cavs, 7) Thunder, 8) Knicks, 9) Blazers, 10) @Magic, 11) @Rockets, 12) Raptors, 13) @Clippers, 14) @Blazers, 15) @Warriors, 16) Nets, 17) @Hawks, 18) @Raptors, 19) Bucks, 20) Pelicans, 21) @Cavs, 22) @Bulls, 23) Kings, 24) Rockets, 25) Lakers.

I see the Wolves winning 14 of these 25 games, assuming Teague is out for this entire stretch but no other injuries to any of our other rotation players. I'm assuming we win our next game at Indiana, which assumes that Oladipo is out that game. I'm also assuming we win 10 of our 13 home games, losing to the Cavs, Thunder and Rockets. That's pretty optimistic considering Teague will likely be out and that that we've lost home games this season to the Wizards playing without Wall, the Sixers without Covington and the Suns without Booker even while we had all our starters playing and healthy. Noteably I have the Wolves losing to the Bulls and Clippers onthe road -- two very winnable games for us. But it appears that Griffin will be back with the Clippers by the time we play them. And maybe we can get one more home win against the Cavs, Thunder or Rockets.

So here's the question of the day, framed as an over-under. Will the Wolves finish with more than or less than 14 wins over the next 25 games?

Tough schedule with two Rockets games, a Warriors game, @ Toronto, and Cleveland. I voted under 14.

The good news is we built up some nice padding, so for those of us that see them more like a 7th or 8th seed like myself, we can afford to go .500 or slightly below over this stretch of games.

12 Wins. If Teague was playing I'd say 13-14. Though he'll be back in probably a couple weeks.

I got them at 15. Teague will be back long before that stretch is over.

I know Cool and Doper will be apoplectic here, but I'm curious how we'd do without Wiggins for 10 games. We're thin on the wing as it is but I'd still be curious who would fill the void.

How dare you call me apoplectic.

I voted under given Teague is out and Belly isn't up to speed yet. If they were healthy I'd probably see them between 14-16 wins.

I was just trying to impress you guys with my vocab, did I use it right?
