That maybe works a couple games, but thinking we are in 7th place b/c everyone is hot against us... comeon.

We cannot stop under-performing.

Based off of poll from shrinks post... it's the players fault.


Wolves are not a well coached team, im so jealous of teams that have great coaches


Hire an assistant from cle. Somehow k Atkinson figured out what it takes..

And Orlando is playing on a back to back I believe. Go figure.

Well this is a game they have to learn how to win if they want to be a serious contender

Bad shot by Ant and saved by Randle. Got to find some way to control Ant. Gobert has a good game. We can't stop Banchero but the team made up for it so far

Put back dunk by Randle on an Ant 3 pt miss was sensational. Can we hold on?

I swear Finch needs to bench Ant in the clutch. Ant keeps chucking. Stupid turnover, bad no pass shots, complaining instead of getting back on D. Ant is smarter than a bag of rocks, but in clutch time I think the difference is alarming small.

Great win. Getting better in the clutch is the teams biggest weakness

A good clutch win against a supposed tired Magic team. Wolves did have to overcome some lucky Magic 3pt shooting to win this one.

Yeah, it's going to be funny when we can't get back to the WCF this year.
