I think it’s really pretty simple, our team wants it more than just about every team we play.

They also had some atrocious shooting by their supporting cast. The Suns deserve some credit, but we saw this happen to us against the Rockets too. It's hard to win when the thee is not falling. Wolves shot a paltry 11/43 (26%) while the Suns shot a somewhat respectable 12/33 (36%).

I am a Cards and Suns fan and any Cardinals fan who wants to say their season was derailed by injuries can go eat a bag of douche.

I rolled my eyes at Ishbia’s seemingly cocaine fueled presser where he said he wanted to model the Suns style of play after Michigan State and then clowned them plenty during the offseason when they loaded up the FO/Coaching staff with MSU Alumni, but screw me gently with a chainsaw… this team totally gives Michigan State vibes of just gritting out games and playing great team basketball.

Pretty good win for the no-names.

The wolves seem softer this year. Randle seems to have lost a bit of quickness on his first step. Losing Alexander-Walker seems to have hurt their depth. Naz just doesn't bring any physicality to the lineup.

I think it's a great win for this team, no-name or not this is what we have. I thought we had absolutely no chance to steal this win if Dillon wasn't playing but after last night, I'm not so sure that would have been true. Now we just have to hope there will be no lingering absences due to Gobert's cheap shot to Williams because he is one player we can't do without.

Love how this team plays hard and plays great D even when shots aren’t falling. It means they play consistently. We know exactly where they are in this league right now. Their record is what they are. They lose to the teams that are better than they are and beat the others.

Kind of interesting how Collin called out Jalen as the leader of the team and then mentioning vets like Book, Dillon, Royce, and Grayson. That was surprising.

Dillon Brooks Explains Blood Stains on Hand During Suns vs Timberwolves

Tonight’s Suns win over the Timberwolves came at a cost: Dillon Brooks’ scratches, blood, and relentless physical play.

Great move by Ott, pulling Dillon. He was trying to do too much.

Dillon had no legs left. Not sure if he was hurting or tired.

His stock has risen, again.

Anthony Edwards says it succinctly, #12 is pretty good at basketball.

Total trap game for them lol

My guess, he is still struggling after returning from injury.

im just glad we didn't waste his effort and dedication with a loss - team definitely didn't want to let him down

I think he has no conscience and is guilty of forcing it too much. He really isn't that athletic. It's amazing what he's done despite lacking those things.

He's just so strong.

 

[Mainstreet]

He's just so strong.

For all practical purposes, Dillon is playing both forward positions and even some shooting guard due to injuries.

And I don't think Dillon is 100% healthy either.

Here is video of the flagrant 2 foul on Rudy Gobert that got him ejected.

win or lose

history will remember this as the night mark williams went 100% from 3

It was his first career three to boot.
