It would be awesome if Cade could come back later in the year, but I wish we had more information about his choices. They must think it's at least possible for him to return this season or it seems like they would have done surgery right away.

Wow, anyone watching, has everyone stopped supporting our team?

We are looking awful early. Got excited when i saw Duren was getting his first career start but it looks like we're going to struggle to stay in this one.... hopefully the bench changes the pace for us a bit. Sloppy poorly run offense to start including several bad misses and TOs(Hayes & Ivey) to start this one.

Cut it to 4, back to 8, but this team of ours is now scrappy most of the time

Last few games Bagley seemingly was lacking energy/effort out there very low rebound numbers... Coming off the bench tonight he's out there much more active and energized playing well.... perhaps he just needed a little kick in the rear to get back in gear.

Damn.... Kyle Kuzma might be a poor man's Kevin Knox.

Clarke fell into Killian's knee/shin. Killian limping.

Magic Lineup is Crazy... they're going to beat the Raptors tonight.

Wager 6'10" SG 11-14 shooting in 25 min for 32 points
Bol Bol 7'2" SF 4-6 shooting in 24 min for 10 points
Banchero 6'10" PF 8-9 shooting for 20 points

Talk about great efficient production from young guys playing the 2/3/4.... They are close to really turning a corner there and Franz might be playing like the best Sophomore right now.

Killian with some dumb TOs tonight.

Ivey really struggling lately

After seeing that dudes twitter expose on Ja, I can’t unsee his carry and travels on literally every drive

Gizmo has better hands that Noel

Bench looking good, sometimes Knox is just a deadly sharp shooter. Killian leading the starters in plus minus, 2 steals that offset his 3 turnovers for the most part.

Bagley can hit efficiently when he is on, and rebounding better tonight. Bojan is shooting bad from 3

It kills me that CoJo is still a part of the rotation. I mean, I get the reasons for playing him over Ivey and I don't even disagree... but ugh, he just doesn't really add anything of value. It's glaringly obvious when matched up with somebody like Ja; you know you aren't going to stop or even slow him down. But you have to attack guys like that, make them play defense and hopefully generate enough pts to at least mitigate some of the damage the other guy is doing. Joseph just adds nothing.

From a game theory standpoint I'd rather see Ivey continuing to attack, even if he's being ineffective. At least *try* and pressure them.

Whole team playing like trash cans except Bagley 14 8 4blocks
