Our recent play says otherwise, 4-6 in our last 10 games. We're not a good team functionally right now.
Hopefully Weltman realizes this

Weltman is a fool and I don’t want him making any significant moves.

I've concluded that Minnesota is a better team.

Frustrating as hell

I mean Minnesota is really good and they are a particularly bad matchup for the Magic.

That's factual info. You just wanna see better fight.

I understand why they defend us well. I can't understand why we can't defend them.

Defense absolute sucks on the perimeter

Hey the Magic did force them to miss ::checks notes:: 5 shots in that quarter.

AB has been the savior since we drafted him. Our backcourt is trash.

Cole should be banned from touching the ball near a buzzer. He never puts up a shot just to protect his percentages and it’s selfish AF

Yeah, that’s game.

Yes. But they’re down 11 in the first, on the way to another blowout…that’s not ok

Timberwolves are an elite team. It's not really any shame to get your ass busted by them.

You noticed that as well. He was never firing that shot up

You can just feel the anticipation right? There’s a certain electricity in the air when it’s time for the saviors!

It has nothing to do with that. My problem is this...if you see that we are struggling defensively in the interior and you have two players that are pretty good defenders, why not just give them a try? Even if they don't do any better, at least you tried something. But to continue watching that 1st quarter and think hmm....this is going swimmingly, I just don't get it. It's not like AB and Goga are players that we'd be throwing in and hoping they can do something good, we know they can defend. At least give ourselves a chance and a different look.

As for the Jett thing, he doesn't play, I wouldn't except that much out of him.
