Good energy to start.

whistle or not - get your ass back on defense

 

[Dback Jon]

whistle or not - get your ass back on defense

Yup

And they are letting them play

 

[BirdGangThing]

we're better but they're bigger - refs ain't calling much so everyone not named nurk should be more physical - kd looks good early

Booker needs to suck it up after he doesn’t get a call.

 

[nashman]

I like you don’t see us whining right now just playing on! Wolves already crying to the refs though… just stay aggressive we haven’t even started shooting 3s yet. Let KD cook while he’s hot someone else can later if he cools down!

Haven’t seen him complain once…

 

[Joe Mama]

Yup

And they are letting them play

Yes, they are letting them foul each other much more now. IMHO, they've swung too far. I won't complain too much about it though unless it gets really uneven… Like that one dear God Durant

 

[BirdGangThing]

whistles are absolutely non-existent - craziest I've seen it in over a decade

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Book needed that 3 bad….

 

[BirdGangThing]

and bradley beal hasn't even started yet - he's going to come back in and take over

 

[Cheesebeef]

Letting ‘em play on both sides.

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Haven’t seen him complain once…

He didn’t get back in the defensive end because he was on the ground with his hands up in the air.

Also was speaking in a general sense, just the history of doing it often. I only saw it on that play this game.

 

[nashman]

God Drew sucks always freaking lost!

 

[BirdGangThing]

here come the 3s

 

[AsUpRoDiGy]

Defense is getting lazy

 

[Yuma]

They are playing with super high emotion on the Minny side. We are weathering it fairly well.

 

[nashman]

You can see they are being very aggressive don’t want to let us get out to a lead like most games. We just have to stay aggressive and take care of the ball if we don’t turn it over I’m confident our scoring can outpace theirs!

Defense is getting lazy

that last 3 was from way out tho - minnesota was just rolling - great time out by vogel before it went sideways (hopefully?)

 

[Yuma]

The game before us was at the four minute mark. My wife and I were watching Resident Alien. We hade 9 minutes left on an episode. So I said let's go back and watch the end of Resident Alien. We came back after 9 minutes of watching Resident Alien, and there was still 3:52 left tin that game? WTF? Did someone run onto the floor or something? LOL!

Exactly just weather their early play and don’t let anyone player get to hot and make them work. Our team will score period. Have we even attempted a three not by Book?

 

[BirdGangThing]

refs aren't calling nothing - energy spent complaining is only counter productive to what's happening with your teammates on the defensive side - welcome to the 90s and I'm kinda cool with it but the suns must adjust

One. Big Nurk

 

[Cheesebeef]

Lol… what the hell was that on the layup from Gordon?!

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Gordon, how do you miss that wide open layup. Let’s go!
