Timberwolves @ Suns Tuesday game thread 11-1-2022

Side note… just loving the back-stabbing anti-Semites of Brooklyn getting run out of their own gym on the day they ran Nash out of town.

Man Durant looks terrible out there.

That wasn’t the point. The point made was we would be okay tonight, even without Ayton because Twin Towers absolutely hasn’t worked in 20 years. The Bucks proved that wrong. Their size overwhelmed us.

We’ll see tonight if the Wolves can do the same after many here scoffed at the idea. I’m going y’all are right.

Towns plays small and defends smaller.

Giannis was a ball handler and the guy who ran the offense, Lopez primarily is an outside shooter. They’re both great defenders.

Towns can’t defend anything, Gobert is useless away from 2 feet. Neither are ball handler.

That buck team worked because Giannis can play anywhere, he isn’t a true big. He is defined by being unlimited… while Towns and Gobert are desperately trying to cover each other’s severe limitations.

The parlay is:

Booker 2+ threes
Cam Johnson 2+ threes
KAT 2+ threes
Booker 4+ assists
Jock 4+ rebounds

Oh I like

 

[Finito]

Man Durant looks terrible out there.

That team is a dumpster fire. He gots no interest in being there

 

[Mainstreet]

Almost game time.

 

[Mainstreet]

A good block by Biz.

Cam Johnson is 0-3 from the field.

 

[Yuma]

On the radio today, Gambo said the Suns are treating Saric carefully to have him full strength at season's end. Supposedly they will be reducing CP3's minutes, according to CP3.

 

[Mainstreet]

Chris Paul makes the first basket for the Suns. They trail 6-2.

 

[Mainstreet]

Devin Booker now has 2 fouls.

 

[Mainstreet]

Cam Johnson hits this 3-pointer. The game is tied at 7.

 

[Proximo]

This is ugly.

 

[Mainstreet]

Cam Johnson with another 3-pointer.

 

[Phrazbit]

Cam getting look after look because Towns can’t defend a chair. Moving Towns to the outside only exposes him more.

 

[Cheesebeef]

This team just plays HARD. Even though they kicked us hard in the juju bees at the end of the last two playoffs, I can’t help but like them simply because of their contrast to the laughable ineptitude of the Cardinals.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Payne playing with a lot more confidence so far this season.

 

[sdscard4]

The Bucks literally beat us for a title with a Twin Towers duo of Giannis/Lopez.

Not saying the T-Wolves will have the same success, but having a big frontline isn’t the barrier to championship entry you make it out to be.

And before you say the Wolves are two centers… KAT is a perimeter player who’s much more like a Nowitzki PF than C.

If I recall Lopez did zilch in the finals. I think the 3 headed monster of Giannis ..Middleton and Holiday got us...but I was definitely worried about Lopez

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns playing three guards: Booker, Payne and Shamet with Landale and Craig.

 

[Zobaczcie suki]

Well, that didn't take long. Twin Towers can't hang with our smaller line up with our hot shooting "power forward"

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 1st quarter:

Suns 24 - Timberwolves 20

 

[Dback Jon]

Book goes out. Minn closes on 6-0 run

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns have gone cold.

 

[Finito]

Bench comes in and sets fire to the lead
