Re: 2019-20 Timberwolves Schedule
I always look at how many Wolves home games are played on the first couple rounds of March madness (March 21 - 24 and March 28 - 31). Pretty good this season as only 1 home game (Portland on March 22) during the first couple of rounds.
Nothing more painful than sitting through a series of late March Wolves games staring at your phone for March Madness updates...

Hornets and Washington are the 2 I think they can win, but not necessarily will win. Aint no way they are gonna beat Butt and Miami. Brooklyn, maybe, but probably not.UnFadeable21 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 12, 2019 9:44 pmBrooklyn, Hornets, Miami, Washington.

Tom Hanneman could be asleep and call a better game than Dave Benz. I don't know what prompted this, but it's true...mostly true.

Re: 2019-20 Timberwolves Schedule
Based on the current roster, additions made by other teams and the how the schedule is laid out, I'm foreseeing the boys playing 82 games this year.

Re: 2019-20 Timberwolves Schedule
I try. Seriously though, in years past we used to have to fly into the 60,000s or even low 70,000s of miles. This year is low 50,000s. You put several road games in a row in the same general geography, it reduces the travel burden a lot. When you have to fly back to Mpls on a back-to-back, you may have the support of the home crowd, but your body feels like it traveled for a road game. I've always thought that San Antonio had a big advantage every year because of that month long rodeo celebration where they are on a month long road trip. It kinda sucks for that one month, but the rest of the season, their schedule isn't very taxing.

This is Minnesota I’m waiting for Target Center to spring a leak the last game of year and since both teams are out of playoff contention they call the game and we only play 81

Why are they doing this to Tom? He rules and the television product is light years worse without him. Shit blows.
