^ this. And, Evans is a ball hog, Cousins is a headcase, Rubio is up proven. I do think Adlemen is a better coach then McHale though.

Wolves will need some time to get it together. Beasley and Love are stat stuffers and Adelman will bring the rookies along slowly.

Based off what the teams displayed in preseason.. Teams that will make Playoffs (no order): Thunder Clippers Grizzlies Mavericks Lakers Spurs Nuggets Teams Fighting for 8th Seed (no order) Rockets Kings TWolves Warriors Hornets Teams Out of Playoffs Blazers Jazz Suns
I think we are fighting with Sac and Minny tbh. If you look at the rosters for each... Wolves - Rubio, Love, Barea, Beasley, Wesley Johnson, Derrick Kings - Tyreke, Cousins, Jimmer, Hayes, Thornton Rockets - Scola, Martin, Dalembert, Lowry Yeah, getting into the playoffs will be tough but fun to watch. Looks like it will be a competitive season in the West IMO. Can't forget about Golden State (curry, ellis, david lee) and probably the Blazers (wallace, crawford, felton). This mostly off of preseason and what it looks like on paper. When it comes down to it, we'll just have to wait and see how each of these teams gel with their new acquisitions (players, coaches) over the course of the season. Anyway, I'm just looking forward to watching basketball again.
So, I see the Wolves and Kings have some guys who can play 1 on 1 and beat some of our guys on the playground. Those guys names tell me nothing about a team out on an NBA court.
I'm never right on these. Neither is anyone else here 01 Mavericks 02 Thunder 03 Clippers 04 Lakers 05 Spurs 06 Grizzlies 07 Rockets 08 Blazers 09 Warriors 10 Kings 11 Nuggets 12 Suns 13 Jazz 14 Timberwolves 15 Hornets
Picking Rockets to inch in as the 8th seed; that's all that matters. I think Dalembert made that much of a difference. Without him, no playoffs. Our interior defense was HORRIBLE.
