I could see this being a trap game. We play San Antonio next.

Can't imagine this being a trap game after playing like crap for most of the game the night prior. Plus it is the 2nd of a B2B and I would hope that the players are well aware that they are going to have to play hard to win in the 2nd of a B2B.

Really would LOVE to see Len have a true coming out party! 20 points... 11 boards... 4-5 blocks!! Give the kid his chance Horny!!!!

I could easily see us losing this game, trap or not. It's the second night of a back to back against a team that is hard to get up for. Bledsoe, for example, tends to raise his game for the better teams, which Minnesota isn't, and Green is almost non-existent against the weaker clubs so we will likely approach this game with less focus and intensity than we should. That's true for most of the league too which is why Minnesota tends to hang around for 3 quarters on many nights despite a talent and experience gap.

Talk to the refs and probably the medical staff, I don't think Jeff wants to keep him on the bench. We are clearly better when he's on the court.

First ESPN game of the year.

If the Suns even wanna think about making playoffs, they can't continue losing against these terrible teams.

Wiggins will be a tough cover for Tucker.

 

[95pro]

Tucker struggles with super athletic guys.

I've got a good feeling about tonight's game.

I think we win too, I just wouldn't be shocked if we didn't. Disappointed but not shocked.

Yeah I'm not going to go Ape-poo if the Suns lose tonight. This game being a back to back game worries me but I think the Suns will pull off the win.

Paul Coro ‏@paulcoro 15m15 minutes ago

Chase Budinger and Robbie Hummel were questionable after missing games for illness but both will play #SunsAtWolves off the bench tonight.

First ESPN game of the year.

Who's got the call for tonight's game? Mike Breen?

 

[AzStevenCal]

I hope Bledsoe and Keef find their shot soon.

[sunsfan88]

Miles Plumlee is such a piss poor defensive rebounder. We really need an upgrade badly at backup C.

 

[Mainstreet]

Too often the Suns are lethargic in the first half against bad teams.

 

[sunsfan88]

Jon Berry ripping the Suns for their selfish ISO ball crap without passing.

I'm glad.

Yeah and at the same time he acknowledged we were taking that firs shot because we were getting good looks and just missing them. The only shot I heard him complaining about was one from Marcus.

Honestly, everybody sees that except for most of this board. It's so bad that players are not even moving without the ball anymore because they know they will not get the ball if it's not from a drive and kick situation.

I don't know if tonight is lethargy. We're playing pretty good defense but we're missing wide open shots. I don't like Keef sitting out at the 3 but I never like to see him out there. We are so much better when he is banging down low or taking the mid range jumper.

Steve

 

[sunsfan88]

Eh Len in foul trouble....come on Hornacek put RANDOLPH in instead of Plumlee if your gonna take Len out!

 

[Mainstreet]

Len needs to work on staying out of foul problem. The Suns really need him as a rim protector.

Maybe it's just a big dose of ugly. We agree the Suns need Kieff playing inside.
