Wolves full strength.

Magic: No KCP, no Cole Anthony, no Jalen Suggs, and no Mo Wagner

Yes baby, that is the lob pass Ant needs to throw to Gobert. Finally, after 2+ years we have progress.

We seems to have a lot of difficulties with big power forwards like Banchero+Isaac. Guys that are too strong for JMcD and too quick for Naz+Randle.

That was quite an entertaining quarter. Orl showed up to play tonight.

Side effect of a Gobert dunk. Teams love to waste a timeout after it. :lol:

I heard Orlando is one of the worst 3 pt shooting teams in the league and they are 8 of 16 tonight. Sheesh.

The put-back dunk by Ant and the end of the half was a thing of beauty. Too bad he was late at the buzzer.

Geez, Dante is a baller

This is where we need ANT to win the game, but he's just not there as a true 1

We need to sub Conley out and get some young energy guys in.

I'm a fan. Dante plays with hustle and grit. He's surprisingly good defensively too.

Ant is still late or miss the passes, one to Naz and one to Gobert so far. Did have a couple nice ones. Still a work in progress.

Man, Orlando is playing out of their asses tonight. I have a hard time believing they are that good. Wolves better start taking things more seriously.

I'm not seeing the ball movement and team play I've been seeing lately. That bothers me.

Orlando 12 of 23 from 3. They just keep making them.

How brain dead is our head coach to keep Naw’s ass in there when he is stinking it up smh.

What lousy 3rd qtr. Down 9. Can't seem to beat Magic with energy, so need to execute and don't turn the ball over

Unfortunately, we are back to where we were. It's not: oh said team just was hot and made buckets.

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
