  1. Positives:

    Suggs
    Queen
    Moe (on offense)

    And at least Banchero turned his game from being one of his worst ever to just really bad. McDaniels had him in hell.

    We also shut down Ant pretty well.

    We need to do something about these injuries. We clearly had no strength or size to match up with them.

  2. Injuries finally caught up against the second best team in the league. Not shocked at all, take the L and move on. Hopefully we get one or two guys back for Miami.

  3. kelle and carter needa be out, and i genuinely feel like Isaac doesn’t like playing basketball, we need a true pg and a rim protector asap

  4. Chuma is so ass.

    Markelle can’t shoot and will never shoot

    Suggs is my hero, he wants to win

    Paolo when cold gets ugly real fast

  5. Well, this hospital unit is live and die by the 3, today we died.

    Good that they tried to put up a fight in the 2nd half. Suggs showing her never gives up and continue his good 3pt performance.

    Queen continues to impress me. Not a real playmaker, but distributed the ball well.

    Cannot see much more positive things beside that, so.. gn8 everyone, up to the next.

  6. PB needs to unscare himself when it comes to taking it hard to the rack vs. the likes of Towns and Gobert. TMac woulda relished the thought of jamming on those stiffs, and would draw real fouls instead of verbal fouls.

  7. There’s the Caleb Houstan I’ve come to know and love. Maybe we do need to trade for a shooter…

  8. i just hope these games are the last we see of fultz…. he is a bust no other way to say it… refusing to shoot open shots getting blocked… time to move on.

  9. Time to move on from guys who are either constantly injured or are just not good enough

  10. Our third string players had a good run the last few games, but their quality really showed against this tough opposition, just like the last quarter against the pacers in our first matchup. Caleb still has a long way to go in terms of his shooting consistency, and I hate to say it but Big Chum ain’t it

  11. Disappointing, but no shame in this loss. What fascinates me is the wolves. Sure they got ANT whom i’ve only heard about on a youtube beginning of the season, whos actually already been making a buzz way before that. But it’s the factthat they seemed to have just switched to game mode this season. I hadn’t even been aware they were on playoffs. Jumping from 8th last time to 1st now is huge. They’re waning just a little L10 games but their record is still very solid and you’ve seen how they decimated us. But, it’s nothing some analysis and strategies can help alleviate next time. We’ll get em next time.

  12. That starting lineup was ass my dude. Fultz is gone at the end of the season. I hope I never see Chuma suit up for us again.

  13. After the first possession you could tell it was gonna be a long night.

    Starting 3 guys who don’t dribble, with 2 guys that rely on getting to the rim against Rudy Gobert was a recipe for disaster.

    The injuries didn’t give us many options. I just hope our guys can get healthy for the post all-star break run. When we have all 15 guys, we’re a top 10 team, and I’d love to see us win a first round playoff series.

  14. Banchero needs to fix his FT and learn to finish strong, dude missed another 4 layups

  15. Deflating loss but we simply didn’t have the personnel tonight. I love all of our guys but we need to talk about it. We need players that are available. This should not be our story year after year. It’s not sustainable. I liked what Markelle did on the floor as far as play making but i do not love him passing up wide open 3’s…still. At any rate, I’m in no rush to make crazy moves but it’s frustrating. We’ll pick it back up though. On to the next.

  16. Fultz makes a positive difference for this team. He needs to be eased back into a starting role and be a facilitator again for Suggs, Paolo and Franz.

  17. We must be shopping Chuma. Not other responsible explanation for starting him. Why not keep AB in the SL for continuity at the very least, while FW is out?!?

  18. Minnesota looked huge compared to us, and that’s saying something. They’re a legit threat in the west this year. Hopefully we’re healthy next time we play.
