We are helpless when big teams throw their weight around. If we had more shooters maybe we could nullify but as is, we just get victimized.

Rubio's shooting is frustrating, but what really scares me is how bad his ball handling and passing has been.

Rubio talks a lot about getting better but hes one of the worst players on thus team

Who could have guessed that having size would make a difference in the NBA? Rosas certainly bet that it wouldn't matter.

The teams were tied I think when I started watching late in first q. Maybe it's my fault it all looks the same as usual now? I'll leave. Tell me later if they look better.

Jake layman is (Please Use More Appropriate Word). He knew he had to shoot it yet he pump
Fakes and the clock runs out

Ricky kind of left Layman out to dry there.

Basically early in the game Embiid was missing easy 10 footers every time down.

Vanderbilt just doesn’t have the ups I want from a rim runner.

Please trade Rubio and Okogie

It triggers me so much when wolves are down like 15 in the 4th and someone says "There is a ton of time left" or anything like that. My gut reaction is "Shut up we ain't gonna do ****." lol. Feel like I'm being patronized.

Why is Nowell playing again ? Let Edwards play for 40 mins! Who cares about nowell? He sucks

Hope we can compete with Cleveland on Sunday. Maybe KAT will be back and not get shot by a deranged sniper or something during the game.

We're down 21 and i'm sitting here thinking "welp, it's nice to just be in a competitive game". My standards are low. Someone should be able to blow me away.

D-lo sux. Dude dribbles the whole clock away and jacks up a garbage shot or turns it over.

Nice to see some life in Edwards. I'm still disappointed he's such a project but at least I see some glimpses of something that can be worked on.
