Hope Towns has 20 turnovers though this half


Yeah. I admit that I was out of line for wishing that Admiral Schofield, who is out with an illness, would repel out of the rafters and punch Towns in the face, breaking his jaw. To be fair, he’d likely accidentally break Paolo’s face instead.

I look forward to watching KAT gyrate on our camera man at least four more times in the 2nd half. It’s endearing.

But yeah I mean, I've never been banged up in any kind of way where I felt like I was close enough to being 100-ish percent that I wouldn't have ruled out any planned physical activity the next day. But then ultimately had to cancel that activity and then kept feeling that exact way every day for the next three weeks, canceling every time.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

I don't think anyone is taking this game too seriously. We all understand that injuries have finally caught up with our guys. Listen, half our rotational players are out, it is what it is. This is one loss that I really don't care about. It sucks for standing purposes, but it is what it is.

When you’re making millions of dollars it gets easy to be lazy and wait. Especially if you’re injury prone you have that to fall back on.
A scoring guard.. never heard of one. :roll:

I think the Magic will keep it under 50.

The Wolves are gonna be bringing in third stringers at some point.

There is no way Jett Howard shouldn’t be here. If he can’t crack this pitiful rotation, he never should have been drafted.


Can't control injuries unfortunately. I'd love to see the Magic full strength match up with this team.


Mostly angry about Jett not playing in a game like this.

Chuma is a nice guy and the guys seem to like him, but he's just never hit enough shots to be a rotation player. It's unfortunate too because he can actually do *some* things out there.

But being a 30% 3PT shooter on the wing just ain't it.

Not to be that guy, but there’s probably a reason Carter is “injured” in this one
