There’s obviously a lot of moving pieces left, but Minnesota has 2 very easy games after this (Jazz and Nets) and would be in good shape to avoid the 8 seed with a win tonight.

Memphis has to play @Denver and Dallas still.

I think personally I wanna play Grizzlies the most so I will be rooting for Wolves to win tonight.

Golden State is also in the mix now after their loss to the Spurs last night. They play Portland and LAC, which the latter could have some big ramifications for the finale.

  3. I’m torn. An easier road gives us a clearer path to a championship. But beating teams I hate or that have crushed our hopes in the past such as the Luka lakers, warriors, wolves, rockets would feel so good

  5. I’d rather face the challenge tbh I almost think playing such an easy team in first round last year made the team too complacent

  6. Not sure if this is relevant or not but GSW has the tie breaker over Memphis so I’m rooting for wolves to win lol. A first round matchup against Memphis or kings (unlikely) is best case scenario in my opinion.

  9. Honestly I’m just gonna let the chips fall where they may. Last time we had an “Portland in the first round upvote party” didn’t turn out well for us…

  10. I think having the tougher challenge in Minnesota in round 1 would be good but I just wonder if our role players would benefit more from an easier matchup in the first round give them time to ramp up. Because in a tougher series asking Wiggins to give you something in 10 minutes of game time is a lot tougher of an ask if he’s not in rhythm. Just something I’ve been thinking about these last couple days.

  17. Tbf I don’t think either of those teams want to play us in Round 1 either.

  18. The grizz play the nugs tomorrow night in Denver , that’s a scheduled loss if that game is any other time of the season. They’ll be gunning hard to win this one .
