I can't believe that it's come down to the final game of the season for the Timberpups to actually have to win & make the playoffs.

I had made a $50 bet with a friend at the beginning of the season that MINN would make the playoffs.  Thought it was going to be easy money.  Now I get to sweat out tonight.  At least the game is in Minn.

Hope you win your bet - I'd've thought they'd be a lock too.

Imagine if we had that lotto system people trot out every so often where the best non-playoff team gets the highest chance at the top pick.  Face Houston/GS and get a couple home games' worth of playoff revenue if you win or be in the driver's seat for the #1 if you lose would be a hot mess of incentives.

My friend's a Timberpups fan (and also loved the Celtics because of KG). I'm hoping they beat Denver tonight to make the playoffs. To make the playoffs and have the rights to get swept in Round 1 while the loser of tonight's game goes home a broken man.  ;D

Bucks are being destroyed by Sixers...So why do we want to avoid them again?

Miami also looking lost and it seems the Raptors want them in round one but Wizards for some reason sat Wall...I think theyd want the Raptors in round one.

Fultz having a breakout type of game tonight so far. Just in time for the playoffs

80-44 at the half.  Wow.  Fultz has done some of everything in 10 mins.  If he pans out, good grief...

Lol looks like Cleveland saw the Philly score and decided resting Lebron and continuing his double-digit streak was enough for tonight.

You hear the Sixers players talking about how tough he is to defend in practice. Nobody can stay in front of him / keep him from getting to the basket.

Fultz is going to be incredible once he gets comfortable in the league.

Lots of people were too quick to write him off. The talent is there.

Man, this Wiz team is just arse backward. Play decently against the top competition, but can't beat the lower-tier teams with consistency.

Cavs so far has also given up...probably scoreboard watching since Philly is killing the Bucks, no sense in fighting for the 3rd seed.

This is why NO ONE takes Toronto seriously.
