Suns @ Timberwolves Sunday game thread, November 17th, 2024

[Mainstreet]

Dunn misses both free throws.

 

[Mainstreet]

Tyus for the three.

 

[Mainstreet]

Well, that's neat--the new Suns are behaving as though they want to punish the Timberwolves for humiliating the old Suns team.

Help out a watcher who, being in Iowa, can't watch the game. Here is what I want to know that would make me happy. I note that Booker has 27 at halftime. When I supposed the Suns are "punishing" the Timberwolves, this is what I really meant: is Booker acting like he's mad at them for kicking his *** last summer? For once in his career, has Booker gotten tired of his play-it-cool shtick? I would love if he wants to do to the Timberwolves what Kevin Johnson did to Hakeem Olajuwon, even if someone would need to tell Booker it's a bit late for that.

I also note that another Suns player who got spanked in that series--Josh Okogie--is having a great game. Could that be because Okogie is also mad enough to punish the Timberwolves?

Booker looks like he has spring in his step today. That's the difference.

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker pulls up and hits a tough three.

KJ dunking on Hakeem in a game the Suns lost by 11 and were down in doesn't really speak to kicking @$$.

Dunn misses both free throws.

He's gotta fix that. We will need him in the 4th quarter of games. Dunn said repetitions helped him shoot the three better. He needs like 500 free throws a day.

No. That's great if Booker is just not sick anymore, but it would be disappointing. Why? Because the Suns would be better if Booker would learn how to constructively get mad.

If repetition can fix it.

First basket since the first quarter and you make the stirring gesture like you are dominating? C'mon Ant Man. Reality! I like you. Don't be a dick.

I've seen Booker play well when constructively angry but IMO, his problem this season has been staying healthy.

 

[Mainstreet]

Randle is lighting up the Suns with 28 points.

 

[Mainstreet]

Royce with a needed three.

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker shoots an in your face three.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 3rd quarter:

Suns 90 - Timberwolves 86

 

[Yuma]

Stir that -17 plus/minus Ant Man.

 

[Mainstreet]

Devin Booker has 37 points and 5 assists.

 

[Hoop Head]

4 more boards Nurk! That's all I need. I believe in you big fella!

 

[Mainstreet]

Grayson hits a three after an Oso missed free throw thanks to O'Neale rebound.

[nashman]

If Allen has found his game that will dramatically help us…

 

[BirdGangThing]

Devin Booker has 37 points and 5 assists.

yup - we should probably trade him

 

[Yuma]

He had 5

Devin Booker has 37 points and 5 assists.

He had 5 at the half.

 

[Mainstreet]

Oso looking confident.

 

[Yuma]

yup - we should probably trade him

Arguably at the top of his value?

 

[Mainstreet]

Keep doing it Devin.
