Suns @ Timberwolves Sunday game thread 4-14-2023

Is Beal the best player on this team?

He certainly seems to be the smartest of late.

 

[Chaplin]

This is EASILY our best matchup.

And we shouldn't underestimate the mental momentumn that comes with winning this and facing them in a 7 game series.

 

[Yuma]

Allen over 200 made three pointers in a season. WOW! Even with a mini slump for a couple weeks.

 

[ajcardfan]

I was not a fan of the Beal trade. Haven't really had much praise for him this season. But these last couple of games he has been terrific.

 

[nashman]

Bradley Freaking Beal....

He is my favorite Sun, the effort and voice he has had this year has been amazing, especially compared to Book and Durant.

I’d be ok getting rid of KD and bringing in a PG and let Book and Beal be running mates!

Compared to Durant and Booker, he has been, you can visibly see the fire in his belly. Love his attitude.

Didn't we sweep the Mavericks two years ago during the regular season?

beal is funk proof - whatever that funk is that we get in - and psych ourselves out - beal aint about that life - he hates to lose too much

 

[Mainstreet]

Let's keep doing this Grayson.

 

[Yuma]

For me we would have to get a PG, PF and either draft picks or good back up center.

In the final game with seeding on the line? Don't think so.

 

[AzCardsfan76]

BEEEEEAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns have been good rebounding.

 

[nashman]

Beal 6-6 from 3 wow!

 

[Cheesebeef]

REAL DEAL BRADLEY BEAL!

 

[Hoop Head]

beal is funk proof - whatever that funk is that we get in - and psych ourselves out - beal aint about that life - he hates to lose too much

He left Washington for a reason, to win. Sadly his health has been an issue here too but he's the only Alpha in our Big 3.

Gooooooooooo sunssss beal epic gm

420 being lighted great dub wow

And pels lose well should great day

 

[Mainstreet]

Durant has missed some easy shots today and not the best handles.

 

[Yuma]

beal is funk proof - whatever that funk is that we get in - and psych ourselves out - beal aint about that life - he hates to lose too much

He has been like Book in that he has basically gone a LONG time on bad WA teams. He is hungry to play meaningful games.

 

[Chaplin]

It just really sucks how we can't consistently play like this. This is a title contender when playing like this, but we just don't see it.

 

[nashman]

Can’t underestimate Beals desire to play in the playoffs after being trapped in purgatory so long! Hope we get this Beal the rest of the way!

 

[Cheesebeef]

Yeah… I don’t think this game will have much of a mental effect on Minnesota. They’ll be rabid coming out for Game 1.

But if given a choice between them, Nuggets or OKC, give me Minny every day and twice on Sunday. They’re more immature than the Nuggets and not as talented as OKC who’s just run us off the floor numerous times.

 

[Proximo]

Play in or no play in. It matters.

Eh, not if this team is really going to do anything the playoffs.

 

[Yuma]

It just really sucks how we can't consistently play like this. This is a title contender when playing like this, but we just don't see it.

I will take playoffs of this, even if we have to suffer through bad games in the regular season.

Definitely been thinking this same thing. He’s never been on a team with any chance. This team hasn’t come close to meeting it’s potential but it’s got loads more talent than any Washington team he ever played on.
