Since I'm apparently unable to find any homemade pie, I can unequivocally state that they were the best crew I heard on this road trip...

Basically halfway through the season and sitting in 6th. I'd say it's gone about as well as anyone could have expected.

I know the Timberwolves aren’t great and a lot of teams have played the season with missing pieces. But again, it’s nice not having to automatically chalk a game as a loss when we’re missing not one, but multiple key pieces regularly.

If you would've told me 3 months ago we would be going into the all star break 6th in the conference one game away from home court advantage id tell you to go **** yourself.

These guys also have a chip on their shoulders. I forget the exact quote but a few days ago Miles said something along the lines of that they were tired of everyone thinking they are pushover, and tonight Rozier said he believes they are putting the league on notice.

I dunno about "putting the league on notice", but whatever it takes to motivate themselves. Jordan use to find anything and anyone to motivate himself during his playing days. I dig it.

It’s why I find it hard to hate the coach, I know there’s been problems, but they are doing better than most expected

I like JB, and they play harddddd as hell for him.

But man. Its infuriating once every 3 games when the opponent makes 25 threes. I feel my chest tighten up. Team may seriously kill me.

It sure does. There was a stretch in the second quarter where we should’ve been down by 15-20 but Minn couldn’t take advantage at all. That’s a bad team that doesn’t hustle.

Just finished the first half of this game. I know everyone is thinking the same thing when watching that second quarter. That was pure classic Timbertrolls versus LOLcats at its finest. I fully expect to see a YouTube compilation of that second-quarter set to the Benny Hill Music tomorrow. What is it about these two teams that brings out the absolute worst most insanely sloppy basketball?

I'd totally believe 1 game under .500. (Still think it's impressive given Cody, Gordo, and Grahm have all missed time.)

Pretty wild how the third quarter looked in contrast to the first half.

Biz had his occasional good game...definitely needed it from him.

Glad to see Gordon start the game aggressively coming back from the injury. The extra week off should get him back to 100%.

Hopefully PJ's ankle isn't too bad.

This week break will be huge for us! I'm very curious to see where Devonte' will be at on the other side of the ASB, he could potentially be huge for us as the leader of the 2nd unit.

What a great half of the season overall. What a joy to watch this team. Gamedays are always such a treat to look forward to.
BUZZ BUZZ FELLAS!!!

Dude, no, you're wrong.

He had 41 last time.

When things are tough for Charlotte, I am thankful that we are still a better franchise than Minnesota.

I believe they’ve made it further than us in the playoffs and have most recently made the playoffs. It’s more on par with us than us being better. We just have a better situation right now. How quickly everyone forgets our ineptitude lol

They have had 7 wins half way through the season.

We once had 7 wins for an entire (lockout shortened) season.

We really shouldn't be pissing down on any other teams just yet.
