Suns @ Timberwolves Wednesday game thread 3-23-2022

[Mainstreet]

I will put the game thread up a bit early so we can talk about it.

The Suns finish their three game road trip with back-to-back games at the Timberwolves on Wednesday and the Nuggets on Thursday.

Timberwolves are 42-30 and really playing well. They have won four in a row and nine out of their last ten games. On Monday they play at Dallas.

Suns are 58-14. They have won five in a row and eight out of their last ten games.

The game will be televised on Bally Sports Arizona.

Start time is scheduled for 5 p.m. Arizona time.

 

[Mainstreet]

Only 10 games left in the season. It features some really tough games.

The Suns final 10 games are @ Timberwolves; @ Nuggets; 76ers (home); @ Warriors; @ Grizzlies; @ Thunder; Lakers (home), @ Clippers; @ Jazz and finish the season in Phoenix against the Kings.

 

[Ronin]

Dominate.

 

[Dback Jon]

They should sign someone just to thug up Pat Bev

Suns don't do that stuff but I wouldn't want to mess around with Ish Wainright.

 

[Rab]

Reports have CP back possibly as soon as Wednesday. Please no. Keep him from Pat Bev for the time being.

Ish should do just fine. Built like a tank. Lol

Ish would be perfect as an enforcer physically. I think he might be too nice a guy though.

The thing is, it doesn’t equalize if you take out bev because He’s taking out book or Paul. So if you want to combat that stuff you gotta take out KAT or the kid.

100% agree

Take out PB within the first minute.

KAT really coming into his own. He went through a lot during Covid and it looks like he’s really got his life and career in order.

Good for him

I’m not a real big fan of KAT but I was starting to wonder if he’d ever be able to recover mentally from all that he endured with all that. So in that regard, definitely good for him.

 

[zett]

you Can't take out PB he's the lousy shooter we want to leave open to shoot!

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Take out PB within the first minute.

So preemptive attack. Got it.

 

[Dback Jon]

So preemptive attack. Got it.

Then dance

Biz could do it.

 

[Mainstreet]

Then dance

This the dance?

Lots of bad memories when it comes to Patrick Beverley. I can't believe there are those who would defend him.

Yes - that dance. Why he wasn't ejected for the rest of the year after that is mind-boggling. That probably cost the Suns the title.

There was a whole series of incidents involving Patrick Beverley when the Suns played the Clippers in the Western Conference Finals.

Here is a thread that covers some of the incidents.

Devin Booker, Chris Paul and Patrick Beverley WCF

Here are a couple of video clips where Devin Booker and Patrick Beverley have encounters in Games 2 and 3 respectively. Just good defense by Beverley or something more? The first video is the head butt in Game 2.

Monty is wrong. That was a dirty play. He starts going into his body block as Paul rises up. That’s the definition of an undercut. And it’s 100% purposeful.

During the first 60 seconds of the video I think Monty got it right when he said something to the effect when a guy does this kind of stuff consistently, it's dangerous. I wish he hadn't diluted the remarks a bit at the end.

I'm not sure what game the announcers were watching. It's like they were watching a different game saying it's not a flagrant foul.

Beverley showed who he was during that series and it's all on video. There is no place in the game for this.

The sheer fact that you can put together a lowlight reel of Beverley’s dirty hits in such volume that 99% of players couldn’t come close to matching it is all the evidence that’s necessary to either tell him to stop or he’s outta the league imo.
