    Wolves get worked by another below .500 team by showing up with piss poor effort yet again.

    It’s going to hurt to look back on these games when we see the final standings in the West.

  2. bobbywellington

    We win this game if Kyle Anderson doesn’t get hurt and McDaniels doesn’t get ejected

  3. Well that was one of the wolves games of all time

  4. PlayInChampions

    I watched Clippers yesterday and they smacked last 10 shots in clutch. It’s tough to play away game against a team that it trying to come back. Not for Orlando I guess. Their 4th quarter stat: 10/13 from 2, 3/3 from 3, 8/14 from the line. They rebounded at least once after a miss too.

  5. EmbiidBurner

    if you told me Franz and Paolo would have bad nights before this game…

  6. Givemepie98

    Those refs need to be beaten with nickel-filled tube socks

  7. kingsofthenorth123

    Win a few lose a few. The Chris Finch experience

  8. Sam7sung

    I’m just hoping Kyle and Jaden are available next game

  9. ladouche6969

    Wolves are paying an incredible amount of money for Finch not to play Gobert.

  10. Deep_Market5748

    We obviously shot ourselves in the foot a ton and that’s why we lost, but that was the worst reffed game of the season

  11. Fiddlerontheroof5

    Would’ve loved to see the effort they had when they went down 20 happen right after the scuffle/ejections when they were down 10

  12. FlyingScissor

    Terrible game by Ant. This teams offense is going nowhere without KAT. Slowmo injury is massive.

  13. ScarletGlove

    Ant was freaking lost when we needed him the most. Disappointed

  14. minnesota_sports_fml

    Just embarrassing man. We have now lost 4 games to Detroit, Houston, and Orlando in the last month. This team just isn’t it, they play down to competition as if they can afford to do so. We’re a play in team and I’d be surprised to see us make the actual post season. Still a fan just overall disappointed.

  15. HuntsmetalslimesVIII

    refs suck almost as much as our defense.

  16. starfruit213

    It’s on the coaches. It’s a consistent pattern of playing down to the competition or lazy effort. The refs were shit tonight, but so was the effort and play before the scrum happened.
    Nowell needs to have 0 playing time. Brings nothing positive to this team

  17. scofieldslays

    Anyone else notice this Aaron Rupar guy on wolves Twitter bitching after every loss. He’s verified and has like 70k followers and only ever talks about the wolves after losses, it’s so annoying

  18. Ace-Of-Tokiwadai

    Obviously we could have done a lot more this game and a lot was on us but fuck me I have not been this upset about a game in a looooong time. Feels like we’re playing both the other team and the refs every game

  19. Gyroflex

    No need for anyone to comment really, just go back and read the comments from the last few disappointing performance against a bad team immediately after a win. Same shit, same shit as last year, im tired of it

  20. Bricking3s

    Too many turnovers. At least they kept fighting. Orlando magic definitely not a bottom rung team based on there w/l ratio especially hearing them beating the Celtic and Philly. Would prefer Matt Ryan taking Nowell minutes. Insane scoring from their bench. Would of the game been close if McDaniels and Prince didn’t get ejected? Probably as we always come back from deficit.

  21. Sugarking45

    It doesn’t make sense that someone in the bench can start fights with a player on the court yet the Timberwolves get penalized more than the magic.

  22. JimmyButlerisaSnake

    Ant responds after his All Star Snub with this game?

  23. If DLo consistently played with the urgency he played with in the 4th, he’d be looked at in a different light. Even without the hot shooting. He was so engaged on defense. And looked like a floor general out there directing teammates.

  24. Tough loss tonight. But we lost Jaden and Taurean to dumb ejections. Not to mention this Magic team has beat some very good teams recently including the Celtics and 76ers who are better teams than this Wolves team, especially with all our injuries.

  25. BagCh8ser

    We beat ourselves with turnovers, if it isn’t turnovers then it’s bad free throw shooting, if it isn’t bad free throw shooting then it’s bad rebounding. Can’t keep winning and looking convincing and then turning around and losing the next game.

  26. flyingflyed

    Our offense is lacking in general in comparison to our defense the past 15 games or so (22nd in offensive rating, 4th in defensive rating). When KAT and Jmac comes back our offense will undoubtedly get better. Hopefully we can reintegrate them without having our defense suffer.

  27. I hope we get old school KAT back. Talking great 3 pt shooting and nightly 25 point 10 rebound games. We need that.

  28. WeakLocalization

    I get the frustration losing these types of games, but you could see this one coming on the calendar. Wolves always play like crap against the magic for some reason, and they have some legit talent and scrappy players, their bench was incredible in this one too. Their defense definitely had the wolves figured out. Pack the paint and let us shoot… this is a game it would’ve been really nice to have Towns

  29. I hate the Orlando Magic. I hate Cole Anthony, and Jalen Suggs is starting to get there too. I hate Mo Bamba now too.

    That said… I hope the suspensions from this game dont bite us in the ass in the coming games. Refs are a joke

  30. LeftLaneKing

    5 picks and 4 players for a 40 million dollar guy who couldn’t play in the 4th against the fucking Orlando Magic. Sad as shit.
