I thought they would come out with a stronger start after last game’s debacle.

I miss Noel.

Guess Adams is our MVP. If we trade him, Noel/Muscala (and with Gallo being a bad defender at the 4) would be crazy bad.

Very bad defense overall last 2 games. That's not just on Muscala.

I can’t overstate how much I enjoy shai’s step back threes.

that's some smooth step back three :)

Don't think he will ever become a GREAT 3 point shooter but guess he could average something like 37-38% from 3. Would be good enough.

Schroeder for Teague and two 2nd looks like a fair deal (well probably the wolves are still dreaming about trading for D'Angello Russell)

He looks more comfortable on the step back than the wide open look. He has a better rhythm when he puts the ball on the ground before he shoots it. Melo did the same thing.

Someone should tell Nick Gallo that Nader being out for the rest of the game isn’t really bad news.

Adams poor effort defending his man at the three point line is extremely frustrating.

He looks REALLY tired. He played well overall but don't get why he looks so tired after playing 20+ minutes.

Ya he’s had a pretty good game and I don’t blame him for not respecting a guy that was 28% from three before tonight but it is something Adams struggles doing.

What a game from shai. I think he’s a better passer than he’s been given credit for to this point. Gallo was an absolute sniper tonight.

Great game from SGA/Gallo/Adams.

Bazley and Diallo struggling a lot lately. Schroeder not as good as some weeks ago. But SGA improvingl and gaining confidence is the most important

Bazley had a nice block at a key time. I’ll give him a pass for longer since he’s a rookie. Diallo has been pretty bad. When he was pushing the ball up court and didn’t see that he was surrounded by wolves, it was a bit head scratching.

Am I the only one that thinks Chris fisher and Michael cage don’t have great chemistry? Normally after cage says something dumb, Chris ignores it or is silent like he’s annoyed or in disbelief. I like Fisher pretty well.

He says so many stupid things that it makes Chris' job very difficult. Half the time Chris is probably debating what the penalty would be for calling out the stupidity and then he remembers that the white boy needs to keep his mouth shut or be called a racist.
