Wait why does he have the same tattoo twice??

 

Maybe they were BOGO free

 

That is a very good question. The good news is they're both red ink, which means they'll fade more and eventually be easier to cover up. I think Lonzo had his Big Baller Brand piece covered less than a year after he got it, so it's a fun family thing.

 

Wendell Carter is back tonight, and also starting. I'm interested to see how the rotations look tonight.

 

Wolves

 

Scoreboard died in Orlando. Not a good look for Kia Center Night 1.

 

Wolves/Sixers pretty competitive

 

well yeah lol

 

Embiid has 38 and it is only a two point game I’ll take it lol

 

lol right like, the sixers are a top seed in the east of course its competitive you cant play the grizzlies and the jazz every night!!!! Kidding but only a little

 

U ok murph?

 

Lakers pulled back the gap to the Bulls

 

The malfunctioning scoreboard did a better job of slowing Miami than Orlando has been able to. They're just not getting as many rebounds and second chance baskets as they were during their streak, and without that advantage it becomes painfully evident just how bad they are from distance. Miami is hitting a ton of threes, but the same can be said for most Magic opponents. Well, it was fun while it lasted.

 

Miami having a great 3pt shooting night at 55% (51% total FG) and Orlando having a very bad one at 20% lol.

I also don’t totally get Spo’s center rotation. Orlando Robinson was starting while Bam was out and Thomas Bryant was barely playing. And with Bam back, Orlando has been a DNP so far and TB has 17 minutes tonight. Love is out tonight too.

 

Wolves were bound to have a dud in this stretch

 

How does Embiid keep getting better? He has been amazing all year.

 

Lmao

 

Maxey is great

 

Sixers spamming pick and rolls seems really hard to stop with those two. Easy offense every team even on a great defensive team like Minnesota.

 

On top of not being able to shoot, the Magic had a ton of half assed passes into the paint in the first half.

Paolo didn’t play well tonight either.


At least it got slightly interesting towards the end.

 

At one point it was 60 something to single digit difference. No bueno.

 

Miami’s gonna win but they HAVE to figure out their 4th quarter issues. They’ve had an 18ish point lead most of the second half and Orlando was challenging to make it close here at the end. Got it down to 7 at one point.

 

Wolves play the Lakers tomorrow night at home, which should be a really fun game
