Mad Dog again putting the Mad into his name
One game at a time Phoenix. KD will drop 44 lead them to a win.
Hes right, theyre not the 04 Pistons, Wolves are better than that team.
This happens to be Booker's team not KD's. But what happened to Booker, he was supposed to be Kobe esque, now he has regressed? Is he back with that Kardashian Jenner girl? Cursed.
Suns are just over matched
The series starts game 3
The series is done, old man. Don't judge a good team based on their prior performance. Use your common sense; this is a new Minnesota team, regardless of how many postseason games they've won in the past.
Mad Dog knows nothing about sports 😂 This Minnesota team is LIGHT YEARS better than the past teams. Man shut up
Legler before the series: The Suns are the absolute WORST match-up for the Wolves (based on the regular season)….Legler now: Yeah, the Wolves are the WORST match-up for the Suns. Dumbasses need to get their story straight… And Stephen, just stop with the "I called MJ during the game and talked about Ant" .. gurl pease.
The Suns need a bus driver like Ant, not 3 bus riders.
Minnesota right now are making great adjustments… Rudy isn't as flat footed the way he used to be defensively… Minnesota's depth is showing great intensity, Naz Reid, Nickell Alexander-Walker, Monte Morris… Jaden McDaniels dropped 25 points, the scary part bout this game was that KAT and Ant didn't play that well, they were okay at best and McDaniels stepped up… Rudy stepped up… Conley stepped up.. the depth that everyone questioned about Phoenix at the beginning of the year was ultimately going to be a factor for Phoenix's rise/downfall..
Now I am not naive… I've seen Minnesota fail and lose due to their inconsistencies and blow a series they should've won, like Russo said, (and as a fan of this team, Saint Paul represent) We need to see them do it on the road which is possible due to the fact that they are tied with the best road record in the West (Alongside the Clippers) 26-15… if they can steal one from Phoenix at home, then I have full confidence to say that Minnesota will win this series… because as I learned, nothing is more dangerous in these playoffs than a team that can win on the road.
KD the most overrated superstar in NBA history
Doggy said booker trying to hard and Beal is always overrated 🔥🔥🔥😂
Stephen A doesn’t know what’s going on with Grayson Allen… he got injured early in both games
This is the problem with the league now you have players like Beal getting 50 mill great talent all star but never equated to a winning situation … I’d say Aaron Gordon is an better ideal 3rd option on a championship team than Beal …..suns could’ve spread that money on 3 great role players ….Now they’re stuck . Terrible
Grayson gone that was they only hope. Sweep coming
The keep the narrative around Gobert being a liability. He is the best player in the series so far
Only team in the west who has a chance to beat Denver are the t wolves
The Timberwolves have potential to be the next Denver nuggets,
Doogie is always behind the curve-and wrong. Suns are in deep trouble
If suns lose this series, it tells all GM’s that KD is not the guy to win
Stephen A 100% didn’t know that Grayson Allen turned his ankle and is out lol
KD about to run from the grind AGAIN this summer 😭
I'm starting to think that Tim Legler had something bad happening to him in 1990 when he played for Phoenix lol, the dude is always bitter when it comes to the Suns Haha
Admittedly, I haven't watched a ton of Suns basketball. I watched the third quarter yesterday. My goodness…the Suns are awful. Like absolutely awful. They literally just play iso ball while every else just stands around and then play virtually no defense. There was one possession where Booker just held the ball without dribbling for about 20 seconds and all the other Suns literally stood at the perimeter and watched him. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
PLease Kevin don't DEMAND trading or making the owner choose between him and the GM and HC. Please do NOT
I know this man didn’t say Grayson Allen when u have 3 all stars on 1 team
Leave it to mad dog to tell history……
Lets see if they keep the same energy for KD when he fail on yet another superteam 😂
Imagine how angry and annoyed Stephen A Smith would be if he had to work a NBA Finals in Minnesota and Massachusetts in a Summer June? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Or Wisconsin-Minnesota NBA June Finals? Lmfaooooooo
T-Wolves are just not a good match-up for the Suns, they're defensive beasts.
timberwolves defense is just insanely stacked, i thin they are THE TEAM that could beat nuggets. I dont even watch twolves
someone needs to fire Stephen A's stylist because that fit is hurting my eyes 😎
Sun sweep 🧹 🧹🧹🤣🤣🤣🤣
Suns lost me and I’m guessing a lot of people money last night … definitely thought they be in a bigger urgency to win
Anthony edward is the real deal i was a little skeptical at first im a believer now
Nobody on the Suns is having a good time. That comes down to weak culture and a leadership void.
Can first take please get mad dog Russo on full time. He is so entertaining, and his knowledge of sports is unmatched. I’m a huge sports fan so Wednesday is my favourite 2 hours of TV for the week.
Freaking frank Vogel gotta stop putting small people on KAT AND RUDY
They’ve got too many bigs and a lot of fire power
Trade idea from a Knicks fan: Steven a Smith to Minnesota in a three way and the Knicks get big perk from Boston.
Watching Russo stumble all over trying to convince himself these are the same ol' Wolves was cringe AF.
Is mad dog really talking about last year? Tf putta here.
No barbecue ribs for Stephen 🅰️ in that suit❗
Keep that same energy yall had for the lakers with these suns please!!!!
Mad dog shut up this not the same twolves team two years ago
Timberwolves have too many weapons that could explode at anytime on offence and defence
Yea it’s over unless it’s a game 7 lol
Stephen A and WIlbon called MJ to take that 23andme 😂😂😂
