We only scored 10 points in the 2nd quarter. I don't even know what else to type lol.

If a front office is so bent on making a playoff cameo, why stick with all this proven dead weight? Waive some of these scrubs and see what you can get out of IT, Mike Beasley, Mario Chalmers. WAKE UP AND DO SOMETHING, ANYTHING! Just stop wasting all of our respective time.

remember man, you can't blame him....it's the injuries....the injuries are the only reason why we're playing like a team fresh out of the 90's

This poor TWolves team might have finally found an opponent they can easily beat without their All-Star KAT.

The SAD SAD thing is not that we gonna lose in a tanking fashion. SAD thing is we might get blown by this laughable Minny squad in a game we are actually striving to show our "best" and trying to win. How low can we get??? It's getting tough, it's embarrassing for the franchise and the magic fans. We are gonna be the laughingstock of the league....AGAIN. :banghead:

27 FG% overall and 25% from 3 in a half. :noway:

I mean, come on! We are having great struggles even cracking the 35-point mark in the 1st half. We cannot do it in 24 minutes when more than half of the NBA teams nowadays score 35+ in 8-9 minutes in less than a quarter on a nightly basis and sometimes twice in a game.

This is atrocious. Load up the tank, gas it up, find the perfect tank commander and full steam ahead - at least the 21 Draft looks promising.

Said the same thing awhile back. You almost have random guys onna nighlty basis that go off on any give night that where undrafter or second rounders. But yet this never really happens for the magic.

When was the last time we had a chris bocuher or Christian wood or joe Harris or joe ingles or Duncan Robinson or khris Middleton( the list goes on) type of performance or break season? It just doesn't happen in this organization and that says a lot

A 10 point quarter...

Has any other team this season had a 10 point or lower quarter? I bet not

people thought fournier back would change things to a large degree? we're getting roasted by one of the worst teams in the league without their best player

Did minny replace our rim with a double rim after the 1st? That was ugly. NBA must investigate!

When Briscoe went down they signed MCW. When Isaac went down they traded for Ennis. If they want to make the playoffs they will make a move... maybe not a big one, but they will do something. If they don't do anything within the next two weeks then they're probably tanking the season.

I don't know how we can blame injuries for poor play when the same 3 guys leading the team the previous 5 season are the same ones leading them now. The team is just not good regardless of injury.

I woukd think it would need to be sooner then 2 weeks. They coukd easily lose 10 plus straight here. That would put them firmly in the bottom 5 i woukd think. Which im cool with but i just not sure they would fall further then that to get into the top 3 which is what we desperately need.

If the magic get blown out by this team you would think this would start the trade talk.

Not trusting this FO. These lazy passive not interested and boring GMs are driving us towards the cliff with no seat belts or brakes.

We have no second option, no backup plan.

We need to tank, I mean to tank HAAARD like no one has done it recently. Intentionally......

Then, no more longbois please, no advanced metrics promising us NBA success with these "tremendous" draft prospects with illusionary "defensive potential", no more hard-ons when the standing reach or wingspan numbers come up in conversations regarding draft talent.

It's simple - we need NBA talent on both sides of the ball, we desperately need good shooters and just effective and capable intelligent scorers with some kind of star or all-star or superstar potential. That's it!!!

If these bums cannot at least deliver a slight hope of finding this kind of young players, then get rid of them before the end of the season so a new GM can come and start moving some pieces and cutting deadweight and team salary.

We need change, please !!!

By not getting a PG immediately after FUltz went down, I think they made their decision to tank. Now they need to trade AG and Evan ASAP.

Then fire themselves so a competent FO can make the right pick.

Yeah I gave it extra time just in case they're trying to work a decent trade... that can take time. I'm guessing they're not interested in signing a cheap free agent though... that probably would have been done already.

I want a top 3 pick so hard. This game is pure joy.

Detroit is up big tonight as well.
