Timberwolves vs Suns is Going to Be INSANE…
The Minnesota Timberwolves, due to an All NBA season from Anthony Edwards and a DPOY season from Rudy Gobert, finished the season as the third seed in the Western Conference only behind the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Denver Nuggets and positioned themselves for a battle with the Phoenix Suns. Phoenix seemed destined for the Play In Tournament with an extremely difficult schedule to wrap up the year, but they stayed afloat with Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal carrying them past other six seed hopefuls like the Los Angeles Lakers, Golden State Warriors, and New Orleans Pelicans. While Minnesota has been better most of the year, the Phoenix Suns may just be the nightmare matchup and have given them so many problems throughout the year. While the Timberwolves had a historic year, it may all be about to come crumbling down. So, let’s talk about it.

i don’t get why this guy always acts like it’s a sure thing that gobert gets dpoy when wemby has just as good if not better chances
I'm gonna pick the Timberwolves in 6. Despite all of the questions and issues with them, I think they they will lean on their defense to win the series, which is usually beneficial for good defensive teams in postseason play. I think that they'll go into the series with a different approach having learned from their mistakes against the Suns during the regular season. They have the depth and the physical attributes to mae things difficult for the Suns.
bruh suns in 4 gtfo
1. while ant did fall off in some of these games, the rest of the team shot horribly from the 3(only 30% while they usually shoot 38%)
2. while the suns did win all of those games, the team shot incredibly from 3(over 45%)
3pt shooting is going to really be the crux of this series, and I don't think the suns have actually guarded the wolves better from 3, but rather the wolves just missed. And while the suns will take advantage of the lack of midrange defense, I also think their defense is not that good, and if the wolves are actually able to shoot well, they'll outscore the pure midrange shooting from the stars.
It's not a toss-up. Suns dominated all three games in the regular season. Schematically, and player match-ups all favor the Suns. The Wolves are slow and too immobile to guard the Suns, and they can't score either. There's is no positive for the Wolves here.
Wolves gonna cook
Tough series. Even if best defenders are on Booker, Beal, Durant they spread the floor create the double team and kit it to Grayson or other 3 point shooters. Dealing with that for a quarter you switch it up stop the double team then Durant, Booker, Beal feast. If Ant gets going that's an issue for Phx but is it enough. One word for this series. Fortitude. Which team wants it more
Thin gon be a fun series
I want 7 games of this
They got Kd but we got jaden McDaniels 🗣💨💨🤣🤣
Wolves in 6 …..that was easy
That's a rough reward for their best season in over a decade 😬
All I’m gonna do is pray for that boy Rudy Goburr and hope he doesn’t have to go out to that perimeter to try and guard those boys on the Suns. Hopefully Jaden McDaniels lives up to Anthony Edwards praise lol
They should put a lineup of
Conley-PG
Edward’s-SG
Reid-SF
Kat-PF
Rudy-C
Timberwolves will win. if they dont have it figured out by game 1 they will by game 2 or 3.
This cap
I got suns in 7
You can’t trust the Big Cheshire KAT in the playoffs it’s been proven twice & he coming off an injury. Bad recipe for a bad showing again. I got the Suns in 6 going to the 2nd round & getting clapped again lol
Minnesota in 7 or Phoenix in 7 could go either way its a toss up but BOTH !!!! will get killed""" by Denver in 6 vs either watch and see
KAT is the key for the T-Wolves beating the Suns, if he plays well Ant they have a chance.
you dont know ball
The first game will really set the tone on how the series will go. Suns whooped the mavs years ago in regular season but got owned in the playoffs so who knows
Pls do bucks Indiana
Suns in 4 or 5 easy series
