Timberwolves @ Suns Friday game thread 4-5-2024

[AzCardsfan76]

I’m pleasantly surprised in how the Suns have responded since that San Antonio loss. I thought they’d win 2-3 games at the most and just fold like a cheap lawn chair. They are playing with heart and hustle. Defense is a million times better. Love what they are doing.

we've done it for 2 quarters now - props to vogel - oneale came in and wasn't doing much - he switched to and stayed with bol bol who made an impact - beal is displaying some of the most unselfish basketball imaginable considering he's led the league in scoring and it's not just the conducting - he's disruptive af on defense - finally book and kd don't have to do it all in iso - who knows - maybe we have made the next step

The Wolves upped their defense in the second quarter even though we outscored them. Our defense winning the game so far. We need to start popping that ball around again on offense. Booker has 8 assists, although I counted 10.

The Suns seem to be building their bench rotation. I'd like to see if Thad Young could be a part of this.

if oneale and drewbanks continue to struggle... thaddeus young anyone?

Sophie needs to upgrade her clothes game. Kinda looks too low key between EJ and K Ray.

lol

 

[Mainstreet]

How can that be an offensive foul inside that inner circle?

 

[Proximo]

I really don’t understand how nurk is so Bad at the rim

Ref is probably just trying to help nurk from humiliating himself further.

 

[Suns_fan69]

If Nurk didn't look like a flopping fish out of water, he might have gotten a 3rd foul on Rudy on that last move

 

[Mainstreet]

Nurkic is really active on the boards and blocking out.

Roles baby...

 

[Mainstreet]

Four fouls on Nurkic. Time for a substitution.

 

[Yuma]

Nurkic GREAT box out!

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

nurk up to 12 boards - gobert with 5

 

[Mainstreet]

Nurkic should have been taken out. No use risking that 5th foul.

Genius coach dumb not to pull him when your up by 20 use the freaking bench you *****!

 

[nashman]

Total clown move by coach to leave him in now he needs to sit until mid 4th so expect a Minn run if we gonna try to freaking run stinkin Drew!

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Big losses by the Kings and Pelicans today, just noticed that now. Huge.

 

[Covert Rain]

Book made up for that lazy 3 point defense on that transition defense.

Three man booth is always a bad idea.

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker's shooting is really off, 2-9.

 

[Covert Rain]

Booker's shooting is really off, 2-9.

He has struggled against this team for some reason this year.
