It's been their pattern as of late.
And they did it against a team with a losing record.
Beat the bad teams. Split with the good teams. Make the playoffs. Right?
Well, no. There's only about 20 games remaining in the schedule. And they're still TEN games back in the standings in the Western conference. IF they were in the East, they'd all but have a playoff spot wrapped up already. This is yet ANOTHER reason I detest the NBA.
The disparity between the two conferences is so big, it's not funny anymore. If it was me, I would get rid of the conferences completely and just have the top 16 teams with the best records make the playoffs.
The Wolves would be battling for 5th place in the Eastern Conference right now. In the West we're basically out of it in 10th place. Why don't fans complain more? I have no idea. Here's a look at latest standings.
It's maddening.
Worse? Look at the records of Dallas, Memphis, and Phoenix. ONE of those teams will not make the playoffs this year. They are ALL better than the 3rd place team in the East. ALL OF THEM.
The fans should start a class action lawsuit against the league. Maybe that will get the NBA's attention. Something needs to be done. The NFL is embarrassed if a team under .500 makes the playoffs. In the NBA, it's just business as usual. And it's bad business.
