Naz Reid 3 rebounds
Vanderbilt 3 rebounds
Davis 6 rebounds

Not gonna cut it from our bigs. Give us a center/PF who can get 8+ boards and play some defense.

When Gordon missed that wide open three the game should have been put on ice for a win.

Or maybe the basketball Gods looked disfavorably at MN's total disrespect to defense, and paid the Wolves back with a L.

It’s the worst franchise in any sport. The breaking point for any of these losers was long ago but it gets passed down

I called it once they cut it to 9 in the 3rd. I love JMAc but a 2 PG lineup made no sense in this game when Orlando had Gordon running point for most of the 4th.

I wish Gordon would've just hit his open 3 instead of this way. Saunders should've either left JMAC in on that defensive possession or put McDaniels in (Same height as JV). But instead he leaves only 1 good FT shooter on the court (Beasley). He had 2 opportunities to tell his players to call a timeout as soon as they get the rebound. He could've even told the closest ref that he wanted a timeout if they got it.

JV makes a 3 but couldn't give us one FT to help!! This is the game where Rosas has to see that small ball is the stupidest scheme ever

WHY DID DLO ONLY PLAY 32 MINS!!

After that performance I really want to trade for Drummond or another Big. It's ridiculous what bigs do to this team. I'm gonna start comparing PF/C stats the game before and after they play us.

The basketball gods haven't watched this team in ages. Disowned them 20 years ago.

JMac fed so many players open shots in that 4th and they kept blowing the shots. Either outright missing or choosing to put the ball on the court instead of shooting.

I have so many questions that need answers:

-After the overturned call, how come it wasn't a jump ball like in the cavs-Nets game?
-Why did Beasley go under the screen and allow Fournier to shoot uncontested?
-Why was Cole Anthony so open on the previous 3 he hit?
-What happen to the zone we tried early this year? I think it'd work a lot better with Mcdaniels, JV and Okogie
