Re: *** Western Conference Playoff Chase Thread ***
No olandipo for Pacers, Towns is much stronger than Turner and better. Taj and Thad will cancel each other out. Sabonis and Saric are like clones of each other. Sabonis better right now but similar skill set.Thrillkill wrote: ↑Tue Feb 26, 2019 3:14 pmTry to remember what team you root for.UnFadeable21 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 26, 2019 1:01 pmThose 3 teams are weak, we can definitely beat team.

Got must win number 1 in impressive fashion. But come on. 3-0 on the road? Do we have 3 road wins all season? 2-1 would be freaking huge.
Collision is like Teague, when they flash they look like all stars but he’s inconsistent.
Hawks have been the surprise team this year. They have upset a lot of teams this year, Boston, Sixers, Lakers, and us. But if we are for real, we should be able to stomp them. The first time we lost was under Thibs, this time will be Ryan. Let’s roll
Wizards; no wall and no Howard. I like our chances. Our wolves, they do suck because they choke all the time but I really like the talent and energy our team haves right now. 2-1 at least but 3-0 has to happen.

They need to go at least 5-2 over the next 7 games, preferably 6-1. Because starting March 13th it gets brutal. But the next 7 has some winnable games that you absolutely cannot drop.

Oh and the Wolves. Who win about 1 out of 5 on the road for the last 30 years. Logic does not apply to this team. Why do we run off our best player? Why does Taylor not understand winning is how you get fans in the stands? Why is Towns garbage and Wigs good in the playoffs? Why do our PG's always get hurt? Trying to make sense of this team is impossible.
Believe me if we win these 3.......hell 2 of these 3 I'm going to be very bullish on our playoff chances. I'd probably bet on it. But I sure as shit am not betting on us wining 3 in a row on the road.

Towns, garbage in the playoffs? 2 bad games, one ok game, two excellent games. Sorry he wasn't providing MVP production in his first couple playoffs games. I know most young players absolutely kill it and don't have any nerves and don't need to learn a little.
Wiggins 15.8 ppg, towns 15.2. Wow!

Good god are you crying? I was just saying that of the 2 who would you think would play well and who would suck. And the other way we have a chance.

Really? What were Towns regular season averages? was it 15? No? How many games did he reach his average? Was it zero? How many games did he score 8 or less? was it 2? Did he get eaten alive on D? Did Wigs?
You have a strange view of the truth.

Wolves lose
Spurs Win
We need the Bucks to beat the Kings and Jazz to beat the Clippers to stay 3 games out.

Re: *** Western Conference Playoff Chase Thread ***
It will take an epic run once/if ROCO comes back. Start studying the draft, we seem to be destined for the lottery.
This makes the decision with R Saunders difficult. He’s part of the CC so the Dwayne Casey’esk dismissal isn’t as likely but at the same time Saunders hasn’t been able to deliver what our top end talent should be able to produce sans “nine lives KAT”....and our offseason isn’t full of potential opportunities to reorg for the current state of player affairs.
Myself, I think R Saunders is potentially the right fit culturally for the players which is generationally hopeful. Additionally I like the idea of R Saunders as coach/sacred cow so that the players are held more accountable since he won’t as part of the CC.

Tough math for playoffs, not going to happen. Like to see Roco get back, keep playing Dario and Josh and see what we have for the future, I guess.

And I'll edit it some more. It's the grass is greener thing. Thibs was too tough, not enough team building, Ryan is the exact opposite. He can probably be a good coach someday, but I don't see it with this group. The right coach is somewhere in the middle.

5 wins behind with 20 to go? You'd need to get like 9 out of 10. And what part of Wolves late collapse number 1 million makes you think we nut up and do it. Say it ever day, every game, every year. It's not shooting that wins you games late. It's not shooting that wins playoff games. It's not shooting that wins in the clutch. It's defense and rebounding. It's why we lost 950,000 of those million collapses.

Dead. Get lucky in the lottery. Get really lucky and unload Wiggins. Get help for Towns. Get a legit starting PG.

The worst thing that could happen, happened. 0-3 road trip for Wolves, No sense of urgency, no intensity, no desperation, no defense. I like Ryan Saunders but he’s not ready for this level. Sad way to go out for everyone smh
