Let's go Suggs. Give us a good shooting night.

Let's Go Magic!

Weird start. They're like 5/6 from 3 after 4 minutes and we're in the penalty already.

WCJ most improved player this year?

Not even close... Ja has the award on lock.

He’s definitely our most improved player. Other guys like Garland/Morant will clearly be the favorites but his development continues to be a bright spot for us.

I really don’t know how Chris finch isn’t top 5 in coty odds right now. The job he’s done with this roster can’t be understated

Not sure what you mean by 'with this roster'... It's super talented, just young and needs time to learn how to win.

Nice Cole dunk. Sadly doesn't count.

We need Franz more involved. It’s an every game need now.

Towns probably remembers getting dunked on by Franz in Minnesota and wants payback.

That’s exactly what I mean. It’s a pretty simple straightforward case for him. Essentially this same roster won 21 games last year. They are already at 38. Minnesota has one winning season in like 15 years.

He’s done an excellent job with a roster nobody expected to be in this position.

This was kind of like the Towns dunk.

I think he has done a good job but the win difference is also due to injuries last year. Both Russel and KAT have already surpassed last year's games played by 10+ with ~20 games to go still.

Eh... they have a bunch of guys that nobody else has figured out how to win with. Russell scores a lot, but doesn't he actually kind of suck? KAT isn't remotely as good as his per game numbers would suggest either.

Fultz is passing up WIDE open 3's...

Why does Minny have such ugly uniforms?

Mo Wagner is rancid at the defensive end.
