I am actually semi-optimistic going into this game, if only because today is the first time we are playing the Suns at Target Center in front of our own crowd. I think we will be fired up and ready to go.

Okc and den are huge favorites today. This one is most likely for the 2 seed. Important to get that should we go up against den.

Okay guys, here we go! Who’d have thought last year we would be here, on Game 82, playing for a chance to be the #1 Seed?!?

I’m glad to be here with you all!

Go Wolves!

I feel like we need to get the top seed for Chris Finch to win Coach of the Year.

If OKC wins #1, I think it goes to Mark Daigneault.

We'll see how the Wolves look today but if there's one thing this season has told me, it's I'd rather play anyone else but the Suns in the playoffs.

For some reason when the Suns play us they go supernova. They play some trash team and they get bodied but against us they look like the champs.

We suck so far. No poise. Suns getting into that next year and we can't handle their defense???

If we were the Portland Trailblazers we would be up 10 right now.

Turnovers turnovers turnovers.

Having KAT back bring more talent
But reintegrating him back into the team will take too many games I’m afraid and it will disrupt chemistry.

If we lose this and the Pels lose, do we get Phoenix in the first round? Assuming OKC and Denver win today. That’s not a good matchup for us at all.

What the F* with all the turnovers? The best defenser so far is Towns. We are clearly rattled. LAL got a big jump on NOP and DEN is playing all the starters. Just can't be any worse of a start. Wolves clearly lack confidence.

The Suns are able to defend us really well. I don't know why they can defend us and not other teams but for some reason they just match up extremely well against us.

Trying to out offense them instead of trying to out defense them.

Get back to playing defense and let the offense come by making easy passes.

This maybe one game we need to pull Gobert and have him player the second team. Use Towns at center to pull Nurkic away the middle and also have more wing defense.
