Agreed and that’s not a diss on Kyle. The Suns aren’t really a team where he matches up well or is needed.

We need a bit better out of Morris at the back PG but he’s putting good effort on D and isn’t a player the Suns can exploit like they could with MacLaughlin.

Finch has been top notch coaching this series keeping Conley and the bigs fresh and keeping the team focused.
He’s managed Towns well also. Towns has contributed to both wins, but Finchy hasn’t felt obligated to play him when he’s struggling or mandatory minutes in the 4th.


Really odd game from him today, lol.
Probably good to limit his minutes anyway coming off surgery.

Great Win! Domination the entire 4th…

Allen injured the same ankle he did in game 1, and it bent way way over. Like 90 degrees…. I don’t think he’ll be back for game 3

Yeah. Wolves fans are often quick to shit on Towns and Jaden because they (especially Towns) tend to have a couple of boneheaded plays per game.

Towns deserves a ton of credit for getting back before the end of the regular season and being in great condition now they’re in the playoffs.

Anybody at all scared of the Suns now????

I said the whole time, just keep close and Suns will turn the ball over at inopportune times. They are the WORST 4th quarter team in the league. That will get magnified in the playoffs even more.

I said all along this team isn’t very good at all and we should dominate them.

It’s kinda in our DNA. Too many of us have this strange eagerness to be early to predict negative outcomes because that’s what we’ve been accustomed to for so long.

This GM, head coach, and entire squad were never a part of that though.

The only thing I can nitpick on Towns tonight are his last two turnovers, and that’s only because it seemed he was being too unselfish. There are far worse complaints to levy against someone than “Dude, just take the shot.”

He's been doing that for a while now. But he was 3/12 so I can't give him honors.

We got to see both Jaden's and Gobert's A game on defense tonight. Things of beauty.

The Suns were also one of the hottest teams coming into the play offs

Was out dishwasher shopping since ours crapped out, and having some dinner. Tried to listen in-between stops and made it home in time to catch the last 4 minutes.

Nice to see Jaden have a big game.

Shows the Suns (and national viewers) the Wolves are an extremely balanced and deep team if they can all play without their heads up their ass like they did for a few games.

Hopefully the Wolves get #1 in PHX on Friday.

Yeah, I don’t have a problem with it. I kinda find humor in the finger pointing blame game after losses instead of giving the opponent some credit for playing good.
