-CW defeated Flash 10-23 and won the series 2-0

Since this is the 2nd game of a back-to-back and I'm putting this game thread kind of late, we'll just start the championship round on Thursday against the Pistons instead. You guys can still guess the score for this game and I'll put a challenge up as well.

#1 Pick any player you want and guess how many points they will have. Correctly guessing their points is worth 4 points, and whoever is closest will get 2 points. If your player scores less than 10 points in the game, you are ineligible to win.

Oh yeah, we are gonna get slaughtered this game for sure. No doubt about it. Memphis is good. We haven't won in April in 3 years.

Woe are TWolves fans
Ricky dead, cheering for AR
End this misery

We played just to two wins? Why?

And CW you changed your prediction right before the game, and I was thinking I won it.

Well played and good luck with beating WW.

I saw what you did with my picks after that first game, so I made my initial picks way off from what I was going to actually guess.

Good matchup though, I was afraid to face you!

Oh man, D-Charge is benched for Randolph? Guaranteed Kahn is pissed at Adelman, he is just destroying Williams' trade value. He won't even let him get garbage time he hates him so much. Well, can't say 90% of the fans didn't see this coming minus dumb Jerry Zgoda.

It's Kahn's fault for drafting Williams in the first place. The pick should have been traded, as most of us around here said.

Well we are still winless in April in forever. Looks like the final score was closer than I would have thought, but who knows since we couldn't watch it.

can this season be over yet?

dwill, wes, darko, and miller better not be on this team next year! Maybe even beasley and randolph as well......

(i wouldnt mind keeping beasley, and/or randolph if the money is right though)

Highlights of the game actually made it seem like a somewhat decent game.

I am so sick of looking at the boxscore and seeing:
Webster 30 min. 1-6 FG, 0 FT, 4 pts.
Johnson 25 min. 2-5 FG, 0 FT, 0-2 3P, 4 pts.

These guys have proven time & time again that they can't and won't step up when needed. It's one thing when Rubio and Love are playing and they are our 4th/5th options out there. But when we desperately need help and need scoring and our 2 starting wings continually give us next to nothing over and over again... Get rid of them both.

Webster is basically a 0-tool player. I guess he can rebound pretty well for a wing. And he is a good interview. That's literally all I can think of.

Ellington's Production >> Webster/Wes's production. That's messed up.

I've had it with Martell. He's had more than enough chances to step up and prove he deserves to start/play. He doesn't.

yea...no disagreement. Wes is worse though. way worse.

Well actually, Martell *and* Wes are zero-tool player suckfests. Seriously, they wouldn't be playing on any playoff teams in the entire league. Can we get rid of them already? What a joke.

Bundle up all the guys that would be making 4 million or more, those guys who contribute zero/little to loads of inconsistency at best, and send all of them packing or don't resign them.

Don't pick up the qualifying contracts on Beasley and Randolph. Fortunately, Miller is retiring. Turn Martell free. Amnesty Darko.

With Wes, not sure what you can do because I don't any team wants him in a trade and then pay him 4 million. If you keep him, don't let him on the court, because we know he is contributing zilch.

D-Will: personally I don't mind if he is back. He's got to be better, especially with Rubio. But definitely pull the trigger on a trade if Kahn can drum something up.

All that leaves some money in the pot to go after Mayo or someone that can contribute. Get two guys. Then fill out the last spots with guys that are making a minimal amount, not all this waste that we have now with guys earning 4 million.

Hey, if you need the money or it helps a trade, unload Ridnour too.

KAHN -- get something done!

Watched the game last night. I enjoyed most of it. Three thoughts:

1. There were two different points where I realized who 4 of the Wolves were out there on the court and asked myself, "Who is out there with them?"

Both times it was the invisible, non-contributing Wes. He was basically hiding.

At least Martell lets you know he is out there, whether flying high for a rebound or some out of control stupid play to the hoop.

2. How can you not love Pekovic?! He was loved last year for just being a beast. Now he is just making plays. He produces. He scores. He's got moves. He plays hard.

He's the anti-Darko. Watching this whole Darko-Pek situation this year makes it clear why Montenegro separated from Serbia.

3. Rudy Gay. I really wish we had him. I need to watch him play more.

So with Wes, you hit the nail on the head. Nobody wants him. That being said, isn't it possible that he could, after rehab and several more years in the league, eventually develop into a Brandon Rush kind of player? He needs to work on his handle, no doubt. He needs to learn to attack the basket, no doubt. But what he does have is 1) a fairly solid but ultimately inconsistent jumpshot; 2) solid athleticism that allows him to block some shots on D.

I'm talking down the road, and used sparingly as a role player, I think he could do decent. He's been a starter and we all know how disappointing as a #4 pick he is. Whatever. I'm over it.

Also, the comment about Montenegro & Serbia yields you a howl. I love geopolitical humor.
