Timberwolves @ Suns Friday Playoff game thread 4-26-2024 - Game 3

[Dback Jon]

I'm sure Isiah Thomas will show up to save the day

Can’t be worse, can it?

Even if true, those draft picks we traded away could have made us relevant again.

Maybe. That trade definitely destroyed the future. I just don’t know that a bunch of mediocre draft picks would have netted us the #1 superstar needed to make them relevant again.

Maybe coulda happened. But it woulda taken Bridges/picks to get a true #1 superstar back. That def isn’t possible now though. This team is totally screwed.

You were fine getting humiliated by the Mavs and then being 25-26 with a breaking down CP3, while also getting humiliated multiple times during the period before KD was traded for?

Look, the KD trade has been a disaster but let’s not pretend the Suns weren’t veering towards nothingnesss before the trade.

Those are very specific instances that are some of the most negatives examples of what went wrong, so of course you make it seem like they played like that and your examples really take the pre-kd teams out of context.

That suns team would beat the current suns.

Edit: this team has been humiliated all season long and three games in round one.

Can’t hit a 3 to save our life what a joke! Not since the first qtr that’s crazy with the shooters we have…

 

[BirdGangThing]

do we get free food anywhere if we get swept?

here me out

everybody does the if we hit ten 3s or when by ten or some stupid ish

but what if a comfort food brand offered a free whatever if we get swept? would that be out of bounds?

 

[82CardsGrad]

Sickening…

 

[mjb21aztd]

Lol the press confrence sure will be sad

Prob same lame comments by kd

 

[Phrazbit]

Can’t be worse, can it?

Sadly, it can.

Thomas is probably the worst executive in league history.

But… this team is probably largely his brain child anyway.

 

[Mainstreet]

When are they going to learn and start playing just as physical? Start pushing and holding just like they do.

IMO, it's more a player personnel and coaching issue than an effort issue. The Suns are out manned.

So this.

 

[BirdGangThing]

How will we be better? Coaching change? Roster change?

coaching and half our bench is one a one year - but that's all i got

 

[Cheesebeef]

Ruined the chemistry, ruined the future, ruined the cap… all for a toxic 35 year old quitter

Yup.

Sadly, Booker looks like his equal there if not worse. Two peas in a pathetic pod.

 

[sdscard4]

So we beat the T wolves 11 out of 12 times and Go right into this. I can't figure it out

 

[Dback Jon]

Yup.

I guess he doesn’t want to be legendary anymore

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns getting blown out in the playoffs is becoming an all too familiar theme.

 

[Covert Rain]

Just ugly and gutless.

 

[Suns_fan69]

Can they just forfeit? That'd be slightly less embarassing than whatever the fudge it is they're doing right now.

 

[82CardsGrad]

Another post-season blow out at home. There really isn’t anything left to say. Blow this whole thing up. Literally, they need to dump the entire team. There isn’t one player I’m in favor of keeping.

 

[95pro]

Jajajaj 22pt lead

If Ishbia is listening to Isiah he’s a worse owner than Sarver when it comes to bball ops.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Oh, he’s becoming legendary… for leading the Suns to the most home playoff humiliations in team history.

We just dump the entire team lol

You can’t have it both ways either that team sucked and we would have high picks or it didn’t and we could have made some moves around the edges to improve it.

The playoffs is a more physical game and the NBA has gone more physical as well. Suns are behind the trend.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Lol… nice play Book.
