Minnesota Timberwolves (32-45) remaining schedule:
vs. DAL (4/11)
vs. SA (4/11)
at GS (4/15)
at DEN (4/16)
vs. MEM (4/18)
The Wolves have no business hanging with the Mavericks, Spurs or Nuggets, and the Warriors are currently battling for the final playoff spot. The Grizzlies? They should have the worst record in the NBA locked up by the season finale. The Wolves have a good shot of losing all five of these games, especially if they tank the Memphis game like last year.
Why is that a good thing? The Wolves currently own the 10th-worst record in the NBA. They are tied with the Knicks (how sad is that?), but Isiah Thomas' boys own the tiebreaker (how sad is that?). As I noted in a previous post, if the Wolves end up with a top-10 pick in the 2007 draft, they keep the selection. If the Wolves pick 11th or higher, they will hand the selection to the L.A. Clippers. Finishing with the 10th-worst record will not assure them of landing a draft pick...but the odds will be in their favor.
