Suns @ Timberwolves Saturday Playoff game thread, 4-20-24 - Game 1

If you are going to let them play, let them play ALL THE TIME

Nurk seemed like he waited for Connelly to contact him.

Am I missing something here? This is the second post to mention the phoenix suns complaining about calls and I have not seen it despite plenty of times where they should have been complaining already

i was talking about in general - every team - they're absolutely letting them bang

 

[JosiahLee]

Haha no just pointing out they are Cleary playing with more passion and urgency.

Come on did you expect them not to come out and play hard? Geesh…

.

 

[Yuma]

If I was the Ref I would tell McConelly, I am not going to T you this time. Next time I blow the whistle and say play over, you stop!

 

[Mainstreet]

I like what Nurkic is doing. Hopefully he can stay out of foul trouble.

Expect Booker to get aggressive soon he’s just been letting the game play out so far hasn’t gotten real aggressive yet! We need him and Beal start getting in the lane pick up some fouls keep them honest!

Yep if we pulled that crap their would 100% be a tech called!

With the referees allowing this much contact it feels like this might be a game that JO could come into and really wreak some havoc. The key is to keep him moving around and setting pics for people on the other end of the court instead of just sticking him in the corner defender into Lane or help on double teams.

 

[BirdGangThing]

we're down by 5 points in this quarter - gotta get it back

 

[BirdGangThing]

there you go book!!

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker taught Gobert a lesson on that play.

 

[nashman]

Another cheap call on KD yet Book being mugged by Gobery and no call geesh

 

[Yuma]

Great offense beat great defense. Book over Gobert!

 

[Dback Jon]

No consistency in what is a foul

 

[Joe Mama]

That's my problem with the referees right there. I have no problem if you want to let that go but no way in hell should towns have gone to the line in this game both of the two times he has

 

[nashman]

Can’t be missing the few FTs we get damn guys!

 

[BirdGangThing]

gotta weather the storm and make a run before the half

 

[Mainstreet]

Great offense beat great defense. Book over Gobert!

It was surprisingly good defense by Gobert covering Booker outside and inside.

 

[BirdGangThing]

kat created all that contact - no whistle

 

[BirdGangThing]

wow talk about letting them play

 

[BirdGangThing]

and there's the frustration foul by book

 

[nashman]

Yep here we go with the ******** refs going to work!

 

[Yuma]

Book gets a no call. The very next play, he does the same thing and gets a foul called on him?
