Wolves are playing well so far, even D-Will. The Magic don't look legit at all.

D-Will and Ridnour must be pissed that we want to trade them, because they are both having great games.

Does it even count though? This team is rebuilding the Charlotte way. Hot start or not, they are going to be the absolute worst. I could be wrong, I often am. But what is the argument for them to be anything other than terrible? man, I really feel for their fans.

I should consider Hedo and Nelson are out, so that should help.

Great, great win. That was huge and we just played solid all-around.

Orlando definitely doesn't look legit at all, although it could be because of their back-to-back and the traveling. But still... they definitely looked a lot more like the team that should be one of the worst in the league (obviously, after trading Howard)... rather than the team that was winning these first 3 games.

But still, nothing to take away from the Wolves here tonight. It's the type of game we needed to win, and they did in emphatic fashion.

Good team win. The defense looks pretty legit. I just hope Barea is alright. We can't afford any injuries right now

When I saw that I just shook my head. This team is so unlucky.

Over these last two games, it's evident Roy is the better of two distributors of him and Luke. have him play de facto PG and let Luke run through screens and wait for the kick out, side PnR's, etc.

Derrick Williams for Afflalo. Derrick Williams for Redick.




CW, make the video ads go away.

Strongly agreed. I had Orlando ranked 30th coming into the season in my mental power rankings. This team is bad bad BAD. And I never understood the idea of giving a 1st time coach the reigns on a rebuilding team full of guys who have no idea how to win/play at this level. There is not a single time I can recall in which such a strategy has proved successful unless it is a former assistant, or a team with actual playoff talent (Ie Vogel in Indy or Spoelstra).

But I guess if it hasn't worked a single time in the past you might as well try it again!

SILENT ABABU sighting at Hubert's last night.

Glad to see these two pulled their weight for a game.

I think they want to be traded so they played "great" so that they actually have some trade value.

D-Charge great = half a Love

Crazy how Barea consistently gets injured. But what can you do? Ask him to not go as hard and drive into the lane or head out of bounds to save balls? Maybe we will just have to accept that with his size and style of play, he is going to be banged up a lot. Anybody know if that was the norm in Dallas?

with Barea out there is little reason to hope the Wolves will one more than 1 of the next 3.

Oh man that had me screaming. I never knew you could do that "spoiler alert".

Just play Malcolm Lee 30 minutes a game! Instead victory! (please don't shoot Malcolm, just go to the hole and play D).

College Wolf being optimistic! Not saying a single negative thing about the Wolves or any Wolves players in his recap post. Sometimes I am hard on my boy CW on here, out of love of course, but this deserves a KARMA (update this already, CW ).

I attended this game in a suite. Much like the other time I did so, I find the suite experience to be extremely overrated, and I think watching the game anywhere in the lower level provides better viewing pleasure than doing so from a suite. You just feel kind of removed from the game and the crowd, and I don't really care for it.

Our bench is playing awesome!

Shved is starting to look comfortable, he has really nice flow and natural instincts. He good be really good for us someday.

I am totally with Daddy on the Luke/Roy contrast. Start them how they are now, but know that in reality on offense Roy is as much of a 1 as Luke is, much like Luke is as much of a 2 as Roy is.

The STEAMBOAT! Blow the whistle!! Dude was awesome, and the crowd was loving it. Every single game so far he has impressed me and had me thinking "I'm not sure how, but he is way better than I thought he was".

Derrick Williams was better, Luke was better, Roy had 9 assists, Big Peck continues to demand double teams (which hurts him but helps the team), Budinger was solid, AK was rock solid, HAM was solid, Barea was solid...wow. Really the only guys who sucked were Conroy (cut him) and Lee (play him at point or don't play him at all).

Orlando gobbles. Especially without Hedo, Al, & Jameer. It was like a D-league team out there. Poor Jauque Vaughn - fun 1st coaching gig, talk about no chance to succeed.

Watching Sid Hartman is constantly amusing. He only was there from the mid of the 2nd through the beggining of the 4th last night. He put more work into eating food than watching the game. What a legend.

I forgot to mention, it wasn't a surprise at all the Wolves won. The Magic had that super long flight from Chicago last night.... no wonder they were tired.
