I heard the o/u on the Timberwolves is 28 wins in 2014-15. I'll take the Over.

The Wolves roster is obviously young but pretty deep and their defense should be much improved. Thaddeus Young was a nice veteran piece to go with Wiggins and Bennett in the KLove trade.

Keys to me are Pek playing at least 70 games, Rubio taking and hitting meaningful jumpers to keep the defense honest and Mo Williams scoring consistently. Youth will be up and down but I expect Flip to go with the hot hand and find scoring from different players.

The West is very tough as usual but I believe they can get 35+ wins. They will improve throughout the year and be on an upward trajectory going into next season.

Bennett looks like a real sometimes! Wolves coming in waves and overcoming cheater officials! /homer

Happy to see the Wolves hanging with the Grizzlies through a quarter. Randolph looking like an MVP against that interior D, though.

Peko -9 so far, Dieng +11.

I know it's too early to draw even the most tenuous of conclusions from that, but let's do it anyway. I'm calling for a coup.

Pek kept trying to out-quick Gasol, position and footwork be damned. Wasn't pretty.

Thanks to whoever noted league pass was free - awesome.

Can't wait until the Knicks play the Lakers.

O/U on the number of points the Suns score tonight?

Lakers season is gonna be truly depressing. Just hoping they keep their pick at this point.

 

[Premier]

Wait the Lakers can lose their pick?

They lose it if it's outside the top 5. Goes to Phoenix as part of the Steve Nash deal. OOF.

Looking forward to Sacre chucking 3s a la Mark Madsen late in the year.

 

[timschochet]

The Lakers down early in the 1st quarter 30-15. That's OK; they just need to settle in.

Any of these work on iPad?

Pretty good effort from the Wolves.

 

[timschochet]

At the end of the 1st, the Lakers have slashed the lead down to 14. They're taking control.

STEALTH TANKING mode right now due to offseason moves (Boozer? Lin? Name value while being awful at basketball). Full tanking is possible.

EMBRACE THE TANK!!!! C'mon, Tim. It has to happen.

Exactly. If they're in the 6 spot, Ed Davis goes point-center.

Wolves cast-offs Ellington and Wes Johnson looking good.

Should happen right around 2017

Terrence jones looks like a decent power forward now.

Are there Wolves-Lakers season bets going on in this thread?

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

19-8 LAKER RUN, YOU HATERS

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Kobe just shoulder checked 2 Suns down and then made the weirdest series of shrugs and faces.

 

[Kev4029]

Morris is just owning Kobe right now.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Kobe outrage face is going to be great this year. Its a wonderful thing I did not anticipate.

 

[Card Trader]

Kobe is gonna jack up 30 shots tonight

2 games 2 Kobe Techs

 

[timschochet]

One quarter left and the Lakers only down by 25. Still doable.

 

[Card Trader]

Kobe is such a punk. Gonna love watching this terrible team all year while this chucker reaffirms how selfish he is.

Good effort Lakers

 

[Craig_MiamiFL]

Bulls depth is just ridiculous with Gibson, McDermott & Mirotic coming off the bench. They got away with a steal in that McDermott deal. Aaron Brooks looks like he's going to be taking over the overachieving Nate Robinson/DJ Augustine role.

Enjoy the money Melo.

 

[Cliff Clavin]

Raptors might be the best team in the league. Well, behind the TWolves of course.

What happens first? a; Lakers are 20 point underdogs in a game b; Lakers win a game c; Kobe assaults a teammate / coach.

 

[Raider Nation]

Nice starting lineup for the Lakers. They may not win 10 games.

I was half-kidding about this. Not so sure 10 games is within reach anymore.

Recalculated projection: 8-74.

Where can we see/hear more from this guy? He was awesome on that Grantland video and his tweets are great.

Isiah Thomas and Brent Barry taking apart the Knicks and their attempt to run the Triangle.

Amare has no idea what he's doing out there.

Carmelo dribbled to the exact wrong place on the floor.
