Timberwolves @ Suns Sunday Playoff game thread 4-28-2024 - Game 4

[BirdGangThing]

Durant has learned how to go back door.

that's what she.. nevermind

 

[nashman]

We just need our shooters to knock down the open shots that really changes the game. We’ve been shooting terribly which is why we go into droughts but if we just hit our open shots it’s a different game.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Well… at least these guys arent getting humiliated the way the 2022/2023 Suns did when they lost…

Uh… MN hasn’t turned on the humiliation machine until the 3rd quarter in the previous games. Their run is coming. Hell, Ant Man and Conley haven’t done squat… yet.

 

[AsUpRoDiGy]

The amount of standing around on this "offense" is hysterical. Bye Kevin Young... you won't be missed.

 

[Finito]

Game is pretty much even with Durant and Booker showing up but Minny hasn’t gotten going yet

 

[Covert Rain]

KD is shooting 70%

 

[Covert Rain]

Booker should have never left his feet. If he had stood his ground it would have been a charge.

 

[BirdGangThing]

im not saying the refs are trying to sway things one way or the other - im saying there's no consistency - sometimes a mugging is fine - other times it's ticky tack whack - but it's happening to every team

Don’t get these takes, Suns playing D and even racking up fouls. Not like MINN just hasn’t started yet that’s ridiculous. The Suns are the cause of them shooting poorly, at least give them credit when they ARE hustling on D.

 

[Yuma]

I'd take Grant Hill as a GM

 

[Mainstreet]

Conley being a non-factor thus far has helped Phoenix.

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Suns 61 - Timberwolves 56

 

[AsUpRoDiGy]

Dope shot by Book!

 

[Cheesebeef]

You forget that the last two Suns teams were down 30 in the 2nd quarter of both previous elimination games. This team looks like the 1996 Bulls in comparison.

But yeah… I think this is the last gasp and we end up losing. But I don’t see us getting down by 40 or even 50(!!!) like we were against Denver and Dallas.

 

[Mainstreet]

It feels like a long time since Booker has made a shot at the buzzer.

 

[Suns_fan69]

That last shot by Booker was pretty.

 

[Yuma]

Didn't even touch the rim!

 

[BirdGangThing]

close elimination game and my man book is showing up - still a second half to go tho

 

[Cheesebeef]

Beal… man…

 

[Suns_fan69]

In the 3 games in the series so far, Phoenix has lost it in the 3rd. They put up a little run to start the half and then Minnesota clamps down and runs away with it. Let's see if tonight is any different.

 

[Proteus]

Wow...Booker is actually playing well in an elimination game with 20 points on 5/9 shooting! And the Suns have only 4 turnovers at the half...who is this team?

Suns up 61-56 at the half...Vogel firing day maybe pushed back a bit.

Yup.

Good point. But you might’ve just put a colossal hex on the team!
