At least Perk will always stand up for the Wolves there.

Part of me hopes we draw Lakers to just shut everyone the fuck up. The other part of me is terrified at the 8v5 advantage.

Itâs how media/entertainment work.
Lakers and Warriors have some of, if not the biggest fanbases.. with the two biggest stars in the league by a country mile.
I donât think this Wolves team will get talked about until theyâre one of those 8 individual series going on in the playoffs. They just donât pump up ESPNâs and other networks ratings do like the teams youâre seeing here.
Side note, theyâre in the play-in, but both have been excellent over the last 10 games. I think this is the most evenly split Iâve seen 1-10 in a while in a conference. Most of these 10 teams could arguably contend, just depends how the matchups shake out. It could be a very competitive/entertaining playoffs out West.

OP So soft.. the lakers and warriors have won 2 of the last 4 championships and still have Lebron and Curry, and are west coast teams. This isnât a thing beyond catering to people who watch this shit. They get the fans of these teams to watch and they get you to watch by being mad at it. Win/win for them.

This is actually wild. But Iâd rather let them sleep and we can wake them all up in the playoffs

Why do you guys even continue to watch this? What a waste of time, who cares what these folks have to say or think?

Wins over the Bucks, OKC and the medias new darlings the Clippers. But sure, letâs focus on the play-in now that GS and Lakers are down there.

You’re offended by ESPN? Who gives a $hit. This franchise doesn’t have enough banners to elicit title talk

I’ve said it before and I will say it again. Would it be nice to have recognition? Yes. BUT success also breeds expectations. Having this team doing well and having little pressure from the media is the PERFECT situation to be in. Expectations from the media means people will try to live up to the expectations and answer their questions, which can ultimately lead to costly mistakes. Keep your heads down, keep winning, let the media talk about the same 4 teams they always do, and just keep on going.

They will always glaze the coastal teams who have won something in the last decade.
Until we win in the postseason, this is just how it is.
