Wolves Record: 23-42
Last Game: 77-92 loss to Grizz

This one could go either way I guess. I'll pick the Wolves just because. The Timberpup regular season is over, the playoffs will start with the game against the Suns on 3/22. Each of the top 4 seeds has a home court advantage worth 5 points that can be used at any point during the playoffs (excluding the Finals), and the #1 seed (Flash) can use it twice.


Playoffs Round 1

#1 Flash** -4 points
#2 Tod Murphy* -3
#3 Murphs56* -2
#4 Bonk* -1
#5 CW 1
#6 Wallyworld 2
#7 CG 3
#8 Raphiel 4


-Tod Murphy was closest (off by 13) and gets 2 TPs

-I lost 3 TPs to Wallyworld because D-Will sucks

-everyone who picked the Grizzlies to win gets a TP

No idea, nor do I really care. But we could certainly lose. Unfortunately, the Kings suck too though.

We really need losses like these for lottery positioning... we're really close to a few other teams (including the Kings) at the bottom!

Would you guys trade Marc Gasol for Kevin Love straight up? I think I might.

At this exact moment in time, with K-Lav's injury situation? And Gasol has a better contract than Love as well....

I think I'd do the trade too. Gasol is legit. Very studly center.

I don't think I would. Love still has a ton of value, so besides the usual group of untradable players, it should be possible to get the player(s) we want. If we're building around Ricky, we need shooters, athletes, and someone who can take over at the end of games. Gasol doesn't meet any of that criteria.

Sad, but true. What a letdown of a season.

I can see the Kings coming through for us and winning this one.

Budinger is back!

Wolves 99
Kings 98

BonK v. CW in the playoffs... I like it!

As RH said, not unless we bolster the lineup offensively. This team is offensively inept in an offense-based system centered around corner 3's and outside shooting. The Wolves have the worst 3 point shooting percentage with over 15 attempts/game in league history as of today.

While Love/Bud in the lineup obviously would have made a dramatic difference in both shooting and floor spacing, I am starting to wonder whether this team even would have made the playoffs if healthy. Too many teams in our conference with too many guys who can make basic NBA field goals and free throws. Too many cheap 3 point specialists passed over by the Wolves in drafts and free agency. Seriously: Korver and Morrow. Get 1 or both in addition to a wing in the draft.

Some of the shots these players miss on a nightly basis are mind boggling. Shit, part of me wants to hold on to DWill for dear life because he is the only player on the team who can hit a jumpshot on a quasi-consistent basis outside of Love. Let him be our Jeff Green.

The issue I have with the team moving forward are the "if healthy" comments. The guys on this roster, barring a miracle, are never going to be fully healthy. Pek, AK and Love will never play a full NBA season. Ever.

The draft pick, and choosing an offensive minded player who can shoot over a big every day of the week, is going to be absolutely critical to A) get right and B ) NOT TRADE.

Kings 104
Wolves 98

Bonus: Thornton 5+ 3's.

The playoffs aren't head to head anymore

...just for the sake of routine...

Wolvies - 91
Queens - 116

Bonus - Cousins with a 20 point and 15 rebound game....

Sweet, the Kings beat us!

Now we are tied with 4 other teams at only 23 wins, and there are only 3 other teams below this group with less than 23 wins.

We could end up with like the 3rd worst record in the league if we keep losing. Might as well, at this point!

Wow we lost to the Kings. That's just horrible.
