    I think we'll go 2-1. It'll be interesting. It's basically a playoff series. Minnesota's only hope is to win all 3 and hope that Denver is a bust on the road.

    Dunn is having an awful year. He's looking like a bust.

    Wiggins is the most overrated prospect in the league. He's a poor man's Rudy Gay.

    They really need to trade Dieng and get some versatile talent at PF. Dieng is a C. Towns needs shooters around him, especially with Rubio and/or Dunn at PG. That is why I think they're a lock to take Markannen, or bulk up Isaac into a PF.

    Shabazz Muhammed is having a bounce back year. Might be a dude we could acquire on the cheap this offseason.

    Pekovic is still on a team???

    Brandon Rush (The asset who became Jerryd Bayless) is still a thing?

    Adrian Payne might be the most irrelevant player in the league right now.

    Ok we can go 2-1, but this game its a must win game. I imagine a tough game by the way, and a big perfomance by Damian Lillard (once again, here we go).




    1-0, 3 games to win now: Wolves, Lakers and Denver.

    By the way i will watch the pacers game tonight. Go Pacers!

    I wish we had an over-rated player like Wiggins

    My guy Rubio is on some kinda tear. He is probably the best PG defender out there right now, along with CP/Beverley.

    KAT is a monster-- think the Jokic hype was a bit premature as best CotF.

    But we should be able to handle them at home on the second night of a b2b, coming from LA.

    Kingspeed, are you able to play all 3 games against the TWolves on NBA2K17 and let us know the outcome?

    Dame's floater is just on point these days. He's clearly worked so hard on it

    Hahaha. If I play Pro level, I'll win all 3 by 50-60 points a game.
