    Just as long as you stay away from the "Ducks" forum. :blush:

    Haha, I can say whatever I want in there. @wizenheimer likes it. We have a bromance blooming after I apparently talked about his anus.

    Are the T-Wolves legit?

    Their depth looks good. Are they the ones to beat for the NW this season? Will they finish with a better record than us?

    How much can you actually learn from pre-season? How much does it actually translate?

    Some will say not at all and some will say it matters.

    Haven’t seen Gobert and Towns together. With Edwards in a 7 Game Series it could be a nightmare, right?

    I read just fine. You brought up options and pecking order.
    My post had nothing to do with that.
    Just said CJ would have a great year and I’m happy for him.

    We should have 11 gimme wins this year against OKC/UTAH/SAS this year with all the tanking they'll be doing.

    Maybe 14 if Houston joins the party.

    The thing is they seldom tank at the beginning of the season. I can see SA tanking at home on April 6th. (3rd from the last game of the season) and OKC in late March. I can see GS potentially resting their stars in the very last game of the season in Portland. We don't play Utah after January.

    I wonder if tanking would be less of an issue if draft position (or at least lottery odds) were based on the past 3-years' record instead of just the most recent year. Do you think teams would just commit to a 3-year tank job? I'd imagine there'd be very few GM's with enough job security to be on board with something like that.

    That doesn't paint a good picture of Green.
