Game 54: Minnesota vs Orlando

No idea why Jaden or even TP got tossed for that fight.

[cmoss84]

What happened with the ejections?

[karch34]

He’ll respond once with a form letter. asilver@nba.com

[theGreatRC]

What was up with Ant? He looked so out of it, it was weird..

Also, those ejections were ridiculous..obviously Mo Bamba & Rivers should've been ejected and maybe Suggs for grabbing Austin out of the way like that, but Jaden getting ejected was so stupid..these refs are dumb as ****

[moss_is_1]

Too little too late with the effort(though most of the guys who played hard late didn't get a chance early).

Play Matt Ryan over Nowell? Could really use his shooting.

[life_saver]

Magic shot extremely well from 3 and we turned the ball over like crazy...not a good game from Ant and Gobert was meh. disappointing loss

[life_saver]

this loss also highlights how important SloMo has become for this team. I really hope it's not a serious injury because I am really not confident about this team right now without SloMo

[Guest84]

Magic applied consistent pressure all night that the wolves weren’t ready for.

Magic have a team of what I’d like to see the wolves achieve. Athletically skilled, with length from top to bottom, good iq and play with consistent force.

The team is simply not good enough to think they can take quarters off, against any opponent.

Prob just his back spasms being triggered. He’ll prob be out at least 1-2 games

17 minutes / 1-7 from the floor and team worst -13 for Nowell. Yikes.
Edwards 5-15. Dlo shooting 16 threes after 17 the other night.

We hold Franz and Banchero to 20 points combined with 8 turnovers but can't contain their bench. Props to Orlando, they are a good team when healthy, but once again we play down to our competition. Have to pray we can split with Denver the next 2 games.

Kyle is an Igoudala level glue guy. Our team is dog **** without him. If you want to extend a guy he's the one.

[karch34]

And the right call is eject Rivers and Bust Bomba then give Suggs a technical.

[Calinks]

Terrible loss. We are truly a .500 team, just not good enough to get consistent wins or beat struggling teams who play hard on the regular. WE need to upgrade a couple of key role-player positions.

I was thinking the same thing while I was watching the game. The Magic are a really fun team to watch. They have so much length and shooting ability in the front court. Also their guards are tenacious on defense. Edwards really struggled with their quick rotations and close outs.

The Magic bench is so deep... I'd hope we try to flip DLo for a couple of their young players who may be able to benefit from a change of scenery and more playing time. Some combination of Cole Anthony, Bol Bol, Jonathan Isaac, Jalen Suggs, Mo Bamba.

I really wonder what was said, lol.

I was thinking the same thing until the wrestling started lol. But it would be a MN thing to do to bring in someone that just fought the team.

Most nights you have it, every once in awhile you don't.

NBA officiating is the worst in professional sports.

Right!! It's not complicated. I might have thrown out Suggs for the tackle.

Contracts have to be three years or longer to be extended.

I agree with the Iguodala comparison!
