    That was genuinely disgusting. We might just have to pretend that never happened and move on. Don’t know if the Suns are necessarily a bad match up for us but holy shit they kicked our ass twice.

  2. Andy_Wiggins

    Only positive today: the benchwarmers finally protected the 100 point barrier!

  5. irishace88

    First game where it really showed how much we miss KAT.

    I wish we could play a normal game against the Suns to see how we actually stack up.

    I mean our starters shot 15/49 and had 15 turnovers. Just weird to see absolutely nobody have a good game.

  9. StealthySnipe2

    We’ve been blown out like 4 times all year. Twice to the Pelicand and twice to the Suns. Probably our two most liekly first round opponents..

  10. debailey

    No wonder Glenn can’t sell the team. Because the Suns already own us.

  12. quietsam

    Yo shout out Naz for holding it down so well since Towns has been out. He was due for a bad game. Made me appreciate all he’s done.

    Next.

  13. Swampertman

    …maybe we should have just played the backups earlier 😅

  14. NazRubio

    Are we sure Ant is going to suddenly not be horribly inefficient come playoff time?

  15. PlayInChampions

    Kept them below 100! One of these nights. Need to win the game on Sunday.

  16. ty5486

    Possibly the most misleading 10 point game of all time.

    Offense was an abomination, defense was still good enough. Which was sort of opposite of my worries going into this but still led to the same result. I’m more confident in us beating them next time around though

  17. dys0n_giddey

    Sad awooo noises.

    We gotta figure out our 1st quarters ASAP.

  18. Garrus

    I said this in the game thread. But I can’t tell how much that was the Suns matching up really well against us and how much was 3/4s of the Wolves rotation all having their worst game in weeks.

  19. blackgenz2002kid

    97 to 87? damn surely it must have been a close game the whole way through…

  20. The20character_rebel

    The key takeaway from the game: we need KAT back for the playoffs. As much as we take him for granted sometimes he’s still our second best scorer, sometimes first and we need the offence bad.

  22. We_Still-Alive44

    Offense like today are the reason many people including me still doubt us in the playoffs. When its bad its BAD

  24. car1999pet

    Does this count for holding teams under 100? /s

  25. TreeAgenda

    They made Rudy an offensive liability tonight rather than spacing him out and making him a defensive one. They let him roll all night under the arc and trapped whoever had the ball. Iced him out of everything on offense and it broke everyone else.

  26. We_Still-Alive44

    Leonard Miller looks good so thats a positive i guess

  27. kylebertram

    Not important but the Suns have had a brutal stretch of games to end the season.
    Nuggets, Thunder, Pelicans, Cavaliers, Wolves, Pelicans, Clippers, Clippers, Kings, Wolves.

  28. MaruhkTheApe

    The Suns didn’t even play well. We just couldn’t make a basket to save our lives.

  30. shrekapotomusrex

    honestly ugly game by all involved. If the Suns wanted to they could have kept us under 70, and if we wanted to we could have beaten them by double digits.

    Neither team really wanted to win tonight which sucks because that may have been one of the most boring games I’ve seen this season.

    Oh well, season’s not over and we still got our Denver tiebreaker. Our other matchups are good. Just gotta move on to the next

  31. schakeboy

    Never seen a shooting slump from a whole team before. I feel we should have gone to the bench sooner for some spark. Garza needs more minutes the dude just wants to ball

  32. Trash-Panda917

    ok hear me out: We actually need the suns to win games to get out of the play in territory. Because when we end #1 or #2 we might see them in the first round which would be horrible.

    So I call it a subconscient tank job and leave it at that.

  33. Formal_Junket_1585

    Booker shot 3/12 with 7 turnovers and we still couldn’t compete
