Re: ***Official Suns vs. Wolves Play Off Thread***
A few weeks ago, very few here were worried about playing Phoenix on here, all I kept seeing was I don't want the Lakers and the refs, I don't want Zion Williams and the Pelican's, The Mavericks are hot I don't want them. We had to play someone, we just so happened to get the one team that smacked us down every time they played us. If we are good team, and we are this is where Finch designs a week worth of gameplans for us to succeed. Note that Grayson Allen did just sign a big contract and sometimes after getting paid a player can lose just a little bit of that edge they were playing with trying to secure that big pay day

Booker always seems to get psyched to dominate his good buddy Karls team. I have only seen Karl come to play 2 or 3 times against Booker since he came to the league. Other than those couple of times Booker has destroyed the Wolves. Hopefully one of their Big 3 gets a hangnail and misses 5 games.DonaldDouchebag wrote: ↑Mon Apr 15, 2024 11:02 amThe Wolves better be literally loading up pumps and joints with silencers to murder Devin Booker before the game or they're gonna get smoked.BBG wrote: ↑Mon Apr 15, 2024 9:57 amThe Wolves are going to win the series, I'll tell you that right now.DonaldDouchebag wrote: ↑Mon Apr 15, 2024 9:35 am Setting up to be an epic dome-pumping for our favorite squad.

Booker averages under his career average against the Wolves, so it just feels like he dominated. he averages 23.9 in his career against the wolves, and 24.2 totalMolluskVonMuskie wrote: ↑Mon Apr 15, 2024 12:08 pmBooker always seems to get psyched to dominate his good buddy Karls team.

this year he scored 22ppg in the 3 games, but 27 for the season. he just a pure scorer so scores 20+ against everyone.
If you want to know who he dominates, he scored 52 against the Pels twice this season lol.

unless in the unlikely event of getting the kings there was going to be angst in wolvesnation whoever they played. even the warriors would have been a concern. if you can't get past the suns you were pretenders anyways. my goal for this season was seeing them win their first playoff series and everything would be gravy after that. still greedy for more--but at least they got one. hopefully that happens.twolves31 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 15, 2024 11:43 am A few weeks ago, very few here were worried about playing Phoenix on here, all I kept seeing was I don't want the Lakers and the refs, I don't want Zion Williams and the Pelican's, The Mavericks are hot I don't want them.

3. limit turnovers

Re: ***Official Suns vs. Wolves Play Off Thread***
Yeah I don't know if career averages tell the whole story with Booker and the Wolves. As Weimy said, it seems like Booker just controls the game when he plays us. Whether it be assists, timely passes, good D, clutch shots, etc. Just seems like he has that extra gear to kick our asses. I assume it is the rivalry with his Boy that gets him motivated. Hopefully KAT finds the same motivation in this series because we know ANT will.boxter432 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 15, 2024 12:25 pmBooker averages under his career average against the Wolves, so it just feels like he dominated. he averages 23.9 in his career against the wolves, and 24.2 totalMolluskVonMuskie wrote: ↑Mon Apr 15, 2024 12:08 pmBooker always seems to get psyched to dominate his good buddy Karls team.

My predictions:
-Wolves get shit stomped by the Suns
-KAT plays like shit in the playoffs (again)
-Fans and media make excuses for KAT (again)
Hope I'm wrong and if I am, I'll be glad I'm wrong.

It's been 32 years since one of MN's four major sports teams has been to the Championship/Superbowl.
Every single year is failure until we win one. 4 teams, 32 years. That's roughly 128 consecutive failed seasons.

We can beat them, but this team needs to get disciplined again. Probably more disciplined than at any point during the season. If they start to play like they can, they can beat them in the series. This is a huge test for them, but if they do it, there's no reason why they couldn't win it all this season.

Re: ***Official Suns vs. Wolves Play Off Thread***
If we can keep our turnovers to around 10-12 per game, and we are allowed to play physical defense, we win this series. Those are going to be the keys to our playoff success (or failure).Abe Froman wrote: ↑Mon Apr 15, 2024 3:19 pm We can beat them, but this team needs to get disciplined again.

I don't think it'll be in four, but I don't know if it'll be S/S/S/W/S or S/S/W/S/S.
But since it's +4300 for the first option and +5500 for the second, I might throw $100 at each option.
Gonna have my kid check again tonight to see what the odds are.
Just don't know which game the Suns will take off.
It was only +900 for a Suns sweep last night.

I don’t know if the Wolves are as good as their record. It seemed like we had a lot of games this season where the other team was missing some good players.

We are the bigger team. We should want the refs to let stuff go. That’s to our advantage, if we take it.

I'm a little disappointed at many of the comments here. This is a Wolves team with the 2nd best record in franchise history and it seems as if few here give them a chance against the Suns....c'mon, keep the faith and LET'S GO WOLVES!!!!
