I would be absolutely despicable down the stretch for every game except the next Timberwolves game and go kitchen sink on winning that one. I think being in the 7/8 or 9/10 is going to determine if they make it or not and 9 is very much possible.
Minny & Cavs 2025 picks watch thread
- Thread starter latin jazz
- Start date
The suns are a dumpster fire. They went from one of the best teams in the NBA at the start of the year to probably the worst non-tanking team at least in the West.
TBH I'm pretty happy about how their season has turned around. I've never liked the idea of team building by obtaining a superstar and the rest of the team is easy to fill in the gaps. At the start of the year it appeared that the Suns were getting away with just having Kevin Durant and being able to pick up guys like Tyus Jones for the minimum. Now it looks like they are going to have to tear things down.
It is a bad year for fans who think having “hoopers” is the end-all be-all in building a winning team.

Timberwolves’ brutal loss to Utah Jazz fuels a troubling season narrative
This Minnesota team has been wholly unreliable all season long, one that loves to play down to its competition.

Fun read for anyone who isn't a Wolves fan. 
Unfortunately there are more wolves fans amongst us than anyone would like to admit.

one ant rolled ankle mate. Doesn't even have to be serious
I think it has to be serious. He is a true force of nature and has basically just powered through stuff like that several times.

The dream is over. The Wolves are good again
They’re 6-0 since losing to us unfortunately.
Our only hope is Golden State fends them off for the 6 seed and they lose to the Clippers in the 7/8 matchup then lose to the 9/10 winner. Unlikely but never say never.

Yes, i was wrong when i think they may collapse. Randle is finally playing well, ANT is a top player, Jaden improved a lot, Rudy remains Rudy and even Mike seems to be back to his level since 20 games. The have a huge bench with Di Vincenzo, Reid and NAW.... won't be surprised if they finish top 4-5. Funny how things change fast.

Ant injury is the only thing that can save us

The guy is made of adamantium
I will probably go back to rooting for the Wolves if they get out of the play-in scenario. We all probably should. Root for Naz Reid and NAW to be mammoths and opt out, becoming unaffordable for the Wolves.

With the LeBron injury, the Lakers are only 2.5 games ahead of the Timberwolves for the play-in now.
The other issue is that the Kings and Mavs and Suns and Blazers are just so terrible at this point that the 7/8 seed will have a huge advantage over the 9/10 seed in the final play-in game.

All can happen in the West. If Minny go to play-in, on one game, they can loose to Clippers or Dallas if Dallas get AD, Gafford back.
Looks like the best case scenario currently for the Wolves pick is that they get #8 and have to play LAC on the road. They hopefully lose and then potentially would have to play I would hope for PHO and Durant has a monster game to put them in the lottery.
I think we want LAC to win in order to pass them for home court, GSW to win to keep ahead of them, PHO to win in order to get on a hot streak, and obviously for MIN to lose as much as possible.
