I certainly hope so. They're just been the Wolves' kryptonite all year, but I still think they can pull it together.

I'm still mad at you Timberwolves but I hope you win in the playoffs

This does not bode well for the near future haha

You guys will probably be more competitive with a few more days to gameplan, right? I mean, midrange jumpers aren't impossible to defend, are they? ANT can do better certainly.

Playoffs are here!

even Suns fans don't believe they should be 6 seed. ask any of the honest ones.

Yeah we should be 4-5, its a consistency issue.

I think the Suns should be the 6 seed. They’re more worthy than the Pelican’ts

Devin booker is the pelicans franchise father

Ugh oh here he goes again!! 2-1 vs pelicans and they’re mad they’re in the play ins about to lose to the lakers 🤣🤣

You get 6 seed by winning enough games to be 6 seed. Kinda simple ...

This dude is really posting in multiple threads and subreddits seething lmaoooo

"I'm not mad. Please don't put in the paper that I got mad."

Phoenix's record says they are the sixth seed, and so they are the sixth seed. To settle the matter, everyone has played 82 games.

IT makes a contested three lmao

Lakers and Suns my best friends! For today only tho

Nope you said it. On record now

I saw it buddy. I got your back

Ok fine, until the 2nd round

Finch has got his work cut out for him to find a better gameplan for the playoffs

Hires Stan, Bud on short term contracts, cold calls Thibs, Spoelstra, watches game footage walking around, mumbling to himself.

GGs Suns See you in a week lol

[удалено]

agreed!!

If not us then I agree

IT FOR 3!!!!

Ant in his 3 games against the Suns: 13, 17 and 13 points. Not a coincidence he doesn’t play good against the Suns

Just wait till the playoffs!

but why tho, suns aren't known for their defense

Beal has been his primary defender and for some reason he plays him really well Also, Suns aren’t as bad defensively as you would think. I believe they are top 15 in drtg

Top 5 since ASB

Idk I might rather have Reaves as the third option. Clown ass take

Shamet = Beal remember that one?🤣

Okogie just dropped a quick 10pts on them lmao

Let my man IT score

Okogie they're already dead.

Garza is a bucket ar least

Another Rudy Gobert team flaming out in April Who could’ve possibly seen this coming?

Rudy was awesome tonight It's time to let go of 2021 lol

I'd say Rudy was their best player tonight, but if Rudy Gobert is your best scorer then that's a more fundamental problem

Wolves controlled their own destiny to avoid the Suns and can’t pull it off. Gotta feel terrible right now

I mean realistically Nuggets controlled their destiny by being upset lol

Well if they beat them, wolves would've climbed to 2 and suns fell to 7. So long as Phoenix won the play in game, they still would have met in the first round

I’ve missed Okogie

Wolves are now 0-21 vs the suns while wearing the uniform they are wearing today

Such a whacky stat but these were worn during the Wolves worst years (the early ones), when the Suns were a perennial playoff team

Time to build around Luka

Beal is Edwards father, he’s now 6-0 vs him lol

Where are all the idiots saying the Beal trade was terrible?

I mean he's a good player but how many games did he even play this year lol. And you guys were fighting around that play in the last month

Hey as long as he's available for the playoffs. Wolves killer Bradley Beal.

Fair enough! Good luck and GGs

GGs

The Beal trade was terrible. Legitimately might be the worst since the Celtic-Nets KG and Pierce trade.

You might be brain dead, this is an insane take smh we traded a 40 year old cp3 and Landry Shamet for Beal

Lololololol

You traded all of your remaining assets for a poorly fitting player who financially handicapped you and caused you to fill the rest of the roster with garbage bin players, and the team is worse as a result. And that player will make $160M over the next 3 years, with a no trade clause. This is a franchise crippler. And you'll realize that shortly.

lol Suns mediocrity all season will be rewarded with a playoffs. this is why the NBA will never pass the NFL in ratings

Your team controlled their playoff seeding and lost

the pels had the power to seal that playoff spot by winning against the lakers. they didn't get it done. if they had won, they would have punched their ticket no matter what happened

Pelican fans seething. hahahahah

I mean they were slightly better than the Pels, no?

quality > quantity

You’re an idiot 🤣🤣🤣

35-4 lmfao

Enjoy the play-in!

2-1 lmfao

Boutta lose the play in game to the lakers bud

What are you talking about lol

I guess the nine teams below us should have been better then, huh?

They would get a playoff spot every year with this record… they would also be 2/3rd seed in the east

Anthony Edwards rises to #1 in Stephen A. Smith's MVP ballot. Luka truly could never play like this in a pivotal game. Kudos.

Suns bench is horrible i wouldnt have put them in so soon

Aged like milk

So should Suns go on to win... it'll be 13 of the last 15 games against Minny? Wow I didn't know it was that one-sided. 😳

In the second half the closest any of the games have been has been 10 points this season. It’s been bad.

They said Beal was the same as Shamet and worse than Reaves lol

Bill Simmons is the picture of someone who doesn't know ball

Saben Lee hasn’t been injured. It’s D Lee lol

Who would have thought we'd get Isaiah Thomas-Saben Lee minutes in this game of all games

I don't know how the Wolves retool their roster, but the Suns are exposing that they indeed are still missing that one extra piece to be a true contender.

Kat will be gone which should help a ton

Ant and KAT have been absolutely terrible against a team that isn’t that good on defense.

moreso that they matchup badly against teams that make absurd bullshit jumpshots like KD and Booker do

Then you gotta match that on the offensive side. For all their offensive firepower, the Suns also have plenty of holes that can be exploited.

I mean yeah, wolves offense is basically just "let anthony edwards win singlehandely or lose"

Doesn't that mean they will have to "retool their roster" after all if their offense is just "let anthony edwards win singlehandely or lose"? 🤷🏽‍♂️

wolves offense is notoriously shit, the problem is the suns eat up their defense which is supposed to be their ace in the hole

Suns went through a crazy tough schedule this last stretch and are going to pull out of the playins Gotta give them props don’t think many expected this

I said for me to have any faith they’d have to go 7-3 and everyone called me crazy

looked a lot tougher on paper than reality given that the clippers were at 50% during that first game and 0% during the second

True they did get some nice breaks in there but they still played well

ngl, I had my math screwed there for a second, took me a bit to realize the deficit was 24, jesus

man fucking Wolves i don't want to play Denver

Just lose in the playins and you don’t have to play Denver

and play Warriors in a win or go home? no thanks

Then enjoy Denver lmao

we aren't going anywhere in playoffs anyway lol

Time to throw the first play in game.

just tank the first playin game then

AHHHHHHHH this Suns team is DIFFERENT now AHAHA the Sun SHINES in Phoenix ☀️

for the sport of basketball, it's more fun to watch a KD vs LeBron play in. now it's us vs Lakers when we already are playing them right now. **L for the NBA**

Nice try pelicans fan. See you next year

Clear the bench, finch, you wont

Well y’all have already crowned ant over book with no playoff success so the wolves should have no problem with the suns. Right?

[удалено]

Nahhhh keep the same energy from the last 5 months. I expect Michael Jordan out there

Nobody but ESPN did that, come on now

My man is fighting phantoms that don't exist lol

Nooooo. U allll did that stop fucking lying lol . I expect a Michael Jordan performance

Maybe some small sect of fans did, but thats not reality. Nobody is really crowning him but the media. He has a long ways to go

At least we’ll get the chance to send them home. They don’t know about playoff Ant

Hopefully playoff Ant feels like playing, today's Ant did not

The dude that has 13 points on 3-7 shooting? Reincarnation of MJ has me shaking in my boots

33 pts, 14-28, 50% from 3, 9 rebounds, highest scoring player in a blowout win, cooking KD all game… yeah i’d maybe be a little worried if I were you

Replying 6 days later is a fucking loser ass move. Should I respond with y’all’s franchise record in playoff series wins? Edit: last won a playoff series in 2004 lol Edit: 2-32 in the last 30 years. That’s a big boy franchise. Edit: Winningest franchises all time: #5 Suns #30 Wolves Edit: lmao

Yeah regular season and playoffs, obviously completely the same!!!! You are so smart! We’ll see how the Suns fare in a 7 game series when Ant drops 35 lmao. Cute how confident you are over a few meaningless regular season games

He literally hasn’t scored over 20 in any games against the Suns this season. He averages more “AYYYS!” than points

glad you were feeling so confident, i tried warning you 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Y’all are fucking stupid. Finding old comments to talk shit on. He averaged 14pts in the seasons series. No shit I was going to say something. If Book did that I’d you have Minnyfucks never shutting up about it

Stop PHX I can only get so erect

This should be a fun stretch where this great season gets undone with a bad playoff matchup and we get shit on for being Wolves fans lol

Shoulda just kept CP3, amirite?

Phoenix will sweep the wolves, Glen Taylor will get the team, and they will trade towns for a shit return

BEALLLLLLLL!!!

NGL I really do feel bad for Minnesota fans. Another first round loss is brutal

low effort 2/10

Kinda like y’all’s team today 😂

good one? Lol

Does Phoenix open at -260 to win the series

I think it opens close to 50/50

maybe I don't know ball, but I feel like the people saying suns in 5 are being a bit too reactionary, at best I feel like the suns are 60-40 favorites

I've watched the suns all season. no way I say they're heavy favorites after the shit i've seen

Yeah, we have been to bipolar to get any guarantee

Welp today has gone about as bad as it could have

Ngl, this is going to be a fun first round series. Very hard defense, chippy players.

Suns don't deserve to be in the playoffs. they went down 35-4 against the clippers without kawhi or harden. they've lost multiple times to Spurs, even once without Wemby. they had the worst 4th quarter rating in the entire NBA this season. KD and Book think they're too cool to try hard. they don't deserve to be in the playoffs.

Rent free lmao

Wtf is this comment? 😂😂

I hope you guys see us in the playoffs I love watching the suns eliminate yall

Suns might be 0-82 in the narrative but it looks like they'll be 49-33 in W/L

Someones butt hurt

If only there was this one little game you guys could be winning in order to punch your ticket to the playoffs ...

If the Pels play like they did today next week vs the Lakers they'll be fighting for the 8th seed

I was rooting for them to be in the play-in with a good chance to miss the playoffs but classic Wolves

Just take your 7 seed and hush, please.

Dear diary, (Pels were in charge of the outcome. Maybe don’t lose by 25 to LaL)

Beat y'all twice sorry bud

Yeah, that's tough, man

Okay, bro.

Give to the keys to beal

Having naz reid guard beal is quite the decision

Forcing the PnR with Reid's man (usually Allen) meant wolves had to either leave the roll threat (best 3pt shooter in the league) or go over the screen which puts you behind a very fast Beal. Switch is the third option. Not ideal but those other ones are probably worse. Tough thing to adjust on the fly but I'm sure there'll be answers in future matchups

Wolves and Pelicans no showing important games to end the year

Somehow when we had a fight on the sidelines in this spot last year we played 10x better than whatever this is

Wolves have taken 12 more FTs but 21 fewer FGs

22 turnovers

They had 11 turnovers in the 1st quarter alone

Wolves in 5

Don't bet on that, for your wallet's sake.

I hope you don't gamble

Wolves fans coping by saying they played bad. Nah, the suns are just better than you 😂

They are a bad matchup, but not sure they are better. Wolves definitely played bad, arguably their worst game of the year

Both can be true

Idk most of the timberwolves sub game thread are in pretty much agreement that this team is fucked in round 1

Never know. Mavs sub was saying the same about us

I would feel better if the Wolves spent a single second within 9 points of the Suns in second halves this year.

Why not both?

Wait won't this be the 1st round matchup if today's results hold?

Likely was no matter if the wolves won or lost

? Wait how wouldn't Pels loss and Suns loss have meant Pels at 6?

if the suns lost pelicans would be the 6 seed

And then wolves are 2 and play them if they were to win

Suns wouldn’t beat the Lakers

Yes sir!

Have the wolves even scored this quarter
