    Yeah this won’t be a good matchup for the wolves.

    Kind of a sh/tty way to end an awesome season. I don’t know why it seems like the Suns have the Wolves number. But it’s the playoffs and every team will be tough. Gonna have to put on the big boy pants and figure out a way. Not giving up so many 2nd chance points would be a good start.

    just watched the replay and top priority will be to not let them score 50 points in the first quarter…..wtf? plenty of film on the Suns and how to beat them. this is on the coaches if you ask me. they may need to either match their tempo or just get more physical? seen scott foster will be reffing game one so may need to go more small ball just to keep Rudy out of trouble. did the suns even miss a shot in the first quarter? if that happens again, someone will need to take one for the team and just body their guys early in the game.

    im not the coach and they got plenty of smart guys on the staff so i say figure it out! would be a huge blow if they get bounced after one of the best seasons in franchise history.

    Am I the only one that thinks they pooped the pot(Yesterday’s Game) on purpose?

    It seemed like their effort was far lower than most games. Edwards took like 8 total shots. I just feel like, now they know exactly who they are playing on Sat, and can game plan. Instead of waiting to see what happens in the play-in games. Just a theory, that’s all.

    Plus, I personally I would rather play the Suns than the Lakers and Golden State. Steph is still Steph and LeBron is LeBron. I know they haven’t won yet, but I just assume they both will.

    The wolves have a history of not matching up well with the Suns for some reason. I dont like that matchup at all in the playoffs. Id rather see them play pretty much anyone else IMO.

    Naz Reid was great. Ant (although too many turnovers at first) really turned it on and took over the game. That 3 over Durant with the trash talk was beautiful! Glad to see the coaches made adjustments to the Suns and the players came out buzzing. applause

    as a lifelong fan since i was a kid, this was like a proud dad moment for me. still smiling! they pretty much played a flawless game and the suns proved they can’t make every shot. well at least for KD……he is still just incredible to watch and impossible to stop. you pretty much have to put your worst defender on him because even your best defender has no chance to stop him.

    KD is just unreal. I couldnt believe all the shots he was making and he is no young pup either. Ant put up some points which through much of the game didnt seem like he had any affect on the game, but still showed well. He was playing well defensively too. Fun game to watch. I hope they can keep this going and win the next one and get out of this series. I think they would have an easier time moving forward past Phoenix.

    Ugh. What a half. Phoenix started ice cold but we didn’t take advantage. Terrible start for Towns maybe we are better off with him on the bench. Several players have been cold shooting tonight. Lots of missed 3s too many. Lucky to be only down one point at half kinda a sloppy game on both sides.

    Wolves should be ahead by double digits. Lots of stupid decisions on fast breaks. Thankfully Conley bailed them out a lot

    I hope Towns proves me wrong. They are taking Ant out of the game and we need someone to step up.

    So much fun watching the Wolves actually play defense!

    defense travels too. its not a series until a team wins on the road. this one is going to get chippy! the refs have been letting these guys play and the wolves are just bigger and stronger.

    Grady and Jim Pete have to be the best play by play in the league!

    Finchy might get coach of the year, Naz 6th man, and Rudy DPOY. what a fun year.

    I like Grady and Pete too. I watched them over the TNT broadcast.

    yes it’s a great year but we have higher aspirations! Get the parade route ready! Can’t count on the wild. I don’t know squat about round ball but they are fun to watch!

    the wolves have had some GOATS doing play by play for sure.

    Kevin Harlan, Tom Hanneman and now Grady.

    Friday night can’t come soon enough. will be fun to see how the Suns respond

    That was an impressive win. Lead early, then down by double digits and came back with a vengeance. Ant was a non story but the bench was very good. Rudy was hitting most of his free throws too.

    I am jumping on the bandwagon. Last night’s game was fun to watch. Wolves have one heck of a defense.

    I think I have said it before, but if the wolves can get past the Suns then I think they will go far. The Mavs might be tough though too. They have proven they can beat any of the best teams already throughout the year Nuggets, Bucks, Celtics, etc.

    Hes the straw that stirs the drink especially for Rudy.
