***Official Suns @ Timberwolves Game 1 PGDT 20 Apr Official***
The 6th place Phoenix Suns (49-33) come to Target Center today to face the 3rd place Minnesota Timberwolves (56-26) in the first game of their First Round Western Conference Playoff series. Tip off is at 2:30 PM.
Minimum commentary today. The Suns are 3-0 against us this year - and winners of 9 of the last 10 matchups between the teams. This will be the 64th playoff game in Timberwolves history. We are 21-42 in those games.
The Timberwolves are favored by 1.5 points.
Injuries: Both the Timberwolves and Suns are fully healthy - with only Jaylen Clark and Damion Lee listed as Out. Both players did not appear in a single game this season.
Cheers Froobs and Go Timberwolves!!!

is that just bad photoshopping on the pic or are Karl's legs really that skinny?

It's only game 1, but feels like a must win. Would give everyone a big boost of confidence (players, coaches, fans). Plus, there's only one NBA player I can't stand, and that's KD. Fuck him. I hope Ant posters him and t-bags that bitch on the way up!!

Do we know if that's the starting lineup? Im wondering if Finchy will mix it up a lot during the game flow.

I doubt he mixes it up too much, I do wonder how many players we are going to play. We've been playing 9-11 players a game does that shrink to a more traditional 7 or 8 for the playoffs or do we keep playing 9-10? I'm guessing Monte will be out of the rotation, but I could see McLaughlin being out as well, and maybe Anderson if he doesn't contribute in the first few games.

I've never understood this. Okay, we've just won 56 games - let's scrap the formula!

I am likely a Nervous Nicky here - but it's a little odd (maybe?) that as of 12:30 eastern time, we still haven't submitted our official injury report to the league.

It's mostly because your starters don't sit much in the playoffs. Ant played 35 minutes per game in the regular season, he'll probably play 42+ in the playoffs. With Conley's age, Kat just coming off of injures, and Jaden's foul issues it's possible those three don't see a bump in their minutes, and we keep playing our bench as much as usual.somuchyummy wrote: ↑Sat Apr 20, 2024 11:37 am I've never understood this.

From the posts here, looks like the betting at Turtle Lake reflects the same sentiment.
Hopefully the Wolves make everybody a loser, except themselves.

The league knows a nuggets / suns round two matchup would draw higher ratings than the nuggets/wolves. That’s all you need to know . Look for Ant to get zero calls and likely get teed up leading to a suspension.

Technical fouls reset for the playoffs, Ant has 0 just like everyone else. A suspension doesn't kick in until a player gets his 7th technical foul of the payoffs.Clubhouseleader wrote: ↑Sat Apr 20, 2024 1:11 pm The league knows a nuggets / suns round two matchup would draw higher ratings than the nuggets/wolves.

Well, the Timberwolves have led many a soul to the bottle over the years, but usually not for this reason.
