April Fools! :d

Although it's noteworthy that April 1st is here and the Wolves are NOT mathematically eliminated! But the Wolves would not only need to run the table, but a monumental collapse from Portland as well. The "sliver" of hope is Jokic's injury. Portland's "easiest" game remaining is tonight against the Suns. Who knows, a loss tonight could be the beginning of that monumental collapse...

And even should that happen, the Wolves would need to win a bunch of games they are not likely to win. But first things first. Lets win tonight against a Kings team that is "resting" (I think this is called "tanking"!):

Kings injury report: Kosta Koufos (planned rest), Tyreke Evans (planned rest) and Garrett Temple (planned rest) all out tonight.

If only Portland was the only team we're chasing. We run the table and our chances are less than 1%.

Well, if we run the table, I am pretty sure we would pass up all those other teams. Portland is the only problem... (and the small part about running the table!)

Surprising to hear Peterson rip on Bazz's lack of court awareness after Bazz got called for the charge. He's right but I rarely have ever heard say anything but praise out of Peterson for Bazz. I think the look on Thib's face said it all and I'd be very surprised if Bazz is back at all.

Ok I could really give 2 shits.

But towns yelled and put both hands up in frustration because Dunn "took" a rebound away from him. That scares the shit out of me going forward

Love thibs here. Towns you are going to yell at teammates and not try on defense. Well sit your ass down.

Payne comes in and 10-0 run in 1 minute with 2 blocks a rebound and a back tap leading to a wiggins 3.

Good for you payne

Yikes! I guess the April Fools joke was on us... Pretty disappointing.

The only positive is I shouldn't have to listen to LST complaining the bench should have seen more minutes!

Apparently, a Portland win tonight officially eliminates the Wolves from the playoffs. So much for that playoff push.

Man, how were we actually talking about the possibility this team might make the playoffs a couple weeks ago? That was f-ugly.
