Series Thread: 1st Round: 3) Timberwolves vs 6) Suns

[PnkPanther]

The Phoenix Suns deserve a refund.

They did it to themselves

 

[Mebert]

I ain't using hindsight here, never understood why everyone loved the Suns. Not good defense, 3 scorers who don't really elevate teammates, your best player an emo guy not a leader, etc.

I think most of it came from a few things.

1. 3-0 regular season
2. Gobert getting played off the court in playoffs historically
3. Wolves as a team lacked winning experience in the playoffs
4. KAT still getting his feet back from the injury.

That is a lot of fair questions going into the playoffs. I picked wolves in 5 mainly on believing Wolves are built to undo #2, and Edwards being there. I would be lying if I was not nervous though.

Someone has to go down I guess

 

[thunderc]

Does Phoenix have enough pride to get one?

 

[bksballer89]

The wolves really get after it on defense

 

[Picklerick 2.0]

Gordon is pulling a towns when towns is crying. Just going wild at the basket and throwing it up wildly, all the whole crying for a foul.

Number 1 is definitely a big reason why so many picked the Suns. The Wolves to me are the deepest team in the NBA and my pick to win it all. Lack of playoffs experience is my main concern with them.

I picked the suns for one reason.

Wishful thinking.

Had to expect that Durant would show up in a do or die game.

 

[bksballer89]

Are the suns going to collapse in the 3rd yet again?

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Wolves are addicted to fouling. I think Booker is on the line every possession.

 

[trojanfight]

booker and KD both with 30+ points and up just 2.

 

[bksballer89]

Booker on fire

 

[bksballer89]

Beal what are you doing?

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Ant is a bad dude.

 

[bksballer89]

Ant is cooking

 

[bksballer89]

Beal with some poor decisions tonight
