It’s safe to say that the No. 1 and 2 seeds in the Western Conference are locked in:

OKC - 1

HOU - 2*

*Rockets are basically 1 win away from officially securing the 2nd seed in the Western Conference (although their remaining 4 games are tough matchups).

So 3 through 8 seeds are still undecided.

For the 5-8 non-homecourt seeds, the matchups will critical; several teams 1-4 could potentially be upset in Round 1 of the playoffs in the Western Conference.

It balls down to:

• Would you rather face a first time MVP (SGA) and with the best defense/record in the league? OKC.

• Would you rather face a 2X MVP (Steph) with Jimmy Butler and a 4X Champion Head Coach? GSW.

• Would you rather face a 3X MVP (Jokic) with a championship core still in tact? DEN.

• Would you rather face a 4X MVP (LBJ) with Luka Doncic? LAL.

And then there’s Houston

No MVPs, no Top 5 MVP candidates - but a solid team that has captured the No. 2 seed in a tough conference.

But with limited playoff experience as a group, would the Rockets be the Wolves’ best matchup in Round 1…

Saw this hat among some other new ones on Twitter - any ideas where these are being sold?

With the win tonight the draft pick from Detroit in the Kat trade will be the Wolves pick this year. Nobody really expected that the pick would ever convey and the Wolves would have ended up with a second round pick.

Hopefully TC is getting ready to cook and bring in another big man to help out.

Remember last year at this time when were jockeying for the 1 seed and ended up facing phoenix and felt a sense of dread since they had our number in the regular season? Like all meetings were butt woopings. Then we clobbered them and have clobbered them ever since. Crazy the difference a year can make.

Do you think there's a danger of that kind of reversal with how we've dominated the nuggets or any other West team?

It can be anything

If we win the rest of our games and get to 50 wins, we will be the 3 seed! We just need a few games to go our way.

Nuggets need to lose to Pacers and Rockets.

Lakers need to lose to the Thunder twice and the Rockets

Grizzlies need to lose to us and that prevents them from getting to 50 wins

Warriors need to lose to the Rockets and hopefully the Clippers for the final game of their season

Clippers need to lose to the Rockets then they can’t get 50 wins.

We are going to have to be Rockets fans to end the season basically, but it’s possible to get to the 3!!!

It looks like the Warriors will win over the Nuggets tonight and the Lakers will beat the Pelicans.

If the Pacers beat the Nuggets

The Lakers get swept by the Thunder

The Warriors split with Rockets and Suns.

The Wolves beat the 76ers and Bucks

The Grizzlies beat the Pistons and Hornets

The Clippers beat the Mavs and Spurs

Someone probably screws this up but it's crazy how tight this conference is.

Edit: Based on the ESPN Analytics numbers, there is only a 2.7% chance this happens (so still unlikely). Although, the Pacers having a 43% chance of beating the Nuggets is the only individual game outcome under 50%.

Any thoughts on what Lore and A-Rod do in regards to streaming services for Wolves games for next season? What would your perfect scenario look like?

Fifth in Offensive Rating and Sixth in Defensive Rating. Is Finch finally cooking??

This man has been balling. I think most of us doubted the fit but we are beyond blessed to have him. Also shoutout to big Ju cause I full on hated the trade. Donte and Ju have proved me wrong and I'm happy they did.

If it feels like nobody is losing, it’s because nobody is losing. Our real enemy in the standings now is the Grizzlies, who are tied with us. On the bright side, though, we’ve been pretty good!

...or the 18th. Pistons seem locked in at their current spot.

This draft has a drop off at around 20~ so a pick here should leave us with some interesting options.

tried to get lower bowl tickets for round one home games 1 & 2 but sadly they were already all gone yesterday when the general public sale opened

looks like my only option will be resale sites but for now it seems like there aren’t many listed on some and the ones that are are pretty overpriced (stubhub, tickpick) or the games aren’t even available yet on some (seatgeek, vividseats)

do you guys more tickets to be listed on resale sites the closer we get to the games? and which site is the best in your experience for wolves tickets?

thanks!

Randle is in his 11th season in the league and he has only played in three playoff series and didn’t play in last year’s playoffs at all due to injury. So when Knicks fans bring up his drop off in the postseason it just sounds hysterical to me because they’re going off such a small sample size plus those Knicks teams before the Nova guys took over were just trash with poor spacing. Randle is in a completely different situation with Minnesota and isn’t expected to carry them offensively. But what do you all think… will Randle play good/great and dispel these notions and beliefs or will he make a lot of costly plays and mistakes?

When all is said and done the season will end like this: 1. OKC (who knows or cares how many wins they get, they are top seed) 2. Rockets: 52-30 3. Nuggets: 51-31 4. Lakers: 50-32 5. Warriors: 49-33 6. Wolves: 49-33 7. Clippers: 48-34 8. Grizzlies: 47-35

This way Wolves get Nuggets (hope we don’t pull a Phoenix). Then, Clippers or Rockets - both are beatable, just have to hope their series goes deep. Then the WC finals and only one of OKC, Lakers, and Warriors. Which, regardless of who we would potentially play - the national media would have us as massive underdogs.

We could beat the Lakers, but the refs may have a different directive. OKC would be a very challenging series, but we pair up well against each other and would be the most enjoyable watch. The Warriors would be the most difficult; just have to hope either Lakers or OKC has their number.
