So naive
role players play worse at home, just gotta hope Jaden McDaniels and Nickeil Alexander Walker look more like they have all year
Minnesota are just to comfortable gotta force them to do stuff they don’t wanna do it seems like they are 1 step ahead of the suns
Kevin Durant is a gutless coward.
Refs helped Minnesota
They don’t play with heart!! Time for Booker to go and us to reset. Trade Durant and Beal for picks. I trust the owner. I trust the new owner. He will do well starting from scratch.
Timberwolves are just that good, sorry, not sorry. With that said, Suns probably win this one. Timberwolves in Five. 🐺🙏🏆🙏
I think everyone is overlooking the impact of Bol Bol on the floor. He is not just the crowd clown, the guy can hoop and needs more playing time. I am so fed up with the mentality some of these coaches have about shrinking their bench especially when you have older players like EG, KD, and Bradley Beal running down the court panting like dehydrated animals. All these other teams truly builds from the inside and the SUNS self destruct from the inside. I like KD as a player, but not on our team and whatever is going on behind the scene has clearly impacted our franchise AND it's franchise player. I hope he AND Booker get traded if we don't get out of the first round. Book should be better then this to be manipulated into the KD garbage. He's not the same guy from the CP3 era. I hope we get to keep Isaiah Thomas because this thing may get blown up in a hurry. What we can get back by trading away Book and KD would be franchise altering for the future. Id trade KD for Murant and Jared Jackson, trade Booker to the Rockets for Jalen Green, Jabari Smith Jr, and a few picks. I am a 40+ year Suns fan and what we have been treated to this year is by far the worst inconsistent team I have ever seen.
Defense travels. Wolves are built to be a good road playoff team
It's all about let's hope nobody feels confident they can win a game at this point The way this plays basketball is disgusting to watch no heart no effort. I don't even know where to start.
KD doesn't seem thrilled 😂
Hey Dan, are you drunk? Wolves are hard-core 😂
Suns contributed to the ~7% winning percentage after trailing 0-2 in recent years. Not looking good.
Suns in 6 🌞 Where my ride or die fans – we going up or down with this ship!
