Just like last year, the Wolves are 1-6 through seven games with only a narrow win at home against a crappy Sacramento team to show for their efforts. Of course, last year, the Wolves kept going and were 5-34 at one point. I don't see that because the Wolves average margin of "victory" is just -4.9 (pretty bad, but not 5-34 bad), but I can see something like 2-13 or 3-12 to start the season. Then again, the Wolves have played, the easiest schedule in the league so far (opponent's winning percentage in games not with the Wolves: .298), so don't expect that the schedule is somehow going to make things better.
