If the Magic could just keep it close so we can try some different looks thatd be great

I blame this loss on ownership for not renaming the Kia Center to the O-rena.

No real need to be negative about this game. Paolo our entire offense right now, and the Wolves happen to be very well equipped to capitalize on a scenario where they can focus on him and not worry about the rest of our team.

I'm only disappointed that NAW isn't killing us (yet). Despite him barely proving he's an NBA level player on a consistent basis, I've always loved hearing how we totally blew it by not taking him.

This is more or less what I was expecting against Denver

Really wish the NBA would send an independent doctor in to check out our injuries.

I mean, they’re probably legit…. But the recovery time is just unnatural to me, and has been for years.

Didnt even realize McDaniels is a Seattle native also

He must know Paolo's game alot more intimately than practically any player in the NBA then

Carter having the weight to matchup and ability to hit outside shots would help. Still wouldn't win, but would help

He's got length but he is on the smaller side. I've been wanting for us to sign a bigger center for certain matchups.

Zach Edey would be great

Watch on YouTube

I've been thinking maybe we should draft a big we can stash in the G league to get reps until we need him.....i like edy, more mobile than you would think for someone that big

Yep, Fultz came back way too early.

I don't think they're a real team until proven otherwise. But they are specifically well-equipped for us and our Paolo-and-nothing-else lineup, that's for sure.

Bro you know it is not that easy in general, but esp against Minnesota lol.. posting is a dead art in the game unless you have Shaq size and finishing ability.

That being said, Paolo absolutely needs to play more like a bully. We see glimpses of it but it's like he'll have a great move and then do some cute ****.

That was a less than stellar half of basketball!

Would be awesome to have Admiral out there to break Towns’ jaw.

God, I’m coping so hard right now. This sucks.

I've always thought this.

So, is this one of those games that we have a comeback win with crazy shooting 3 pointers and Paolo having the best second half of his career? Or do we lose by 50?

Shot a frosty 29% from the field. I'm gonna go warm up and eat some dinner.
