Series Thread: 1st Round: 3) Timberwolves vs 6) Suns

[Mebert]

Some good things for the Wolves about this game.

1. Edwards showed he does have a playoff mode
2. KAT at first glance seems to have taken strides to change his playoff disappearing act.
3. Most importantly, Suns are the team best built to exploit Gobert in the playoffs, and it seems like this team has solved that issue.

Thay is all grain of salt one game stuff, but it is very promising. If that is the new normal for them, the Wolves are a serious threat in the playoffs this year.

Edwards showed he does have a playoff mode

You didn't know this from the last 2 years?

I had a good feeling, but he always did it when the team was not really a threat to compete and others on the team vanished so he had to shoulder more of the load. This time every player stepped up and he still dominated, it is the least surprising of the notes, but still nice to see.

I knew Edwards would have a playoff mode.

What I didnt know (and still dont for sure) is that if NAW and McDaniels have another level. They did on Saturday. They play like that game in and game out and we are as good as any team in the league.

Yep, have to win 4 out of 5 if they lose tonight.

Losing tonight would be really difficult

Just glad Edwards seems to be showing his playoffs last year was not a fluke.

That kid is freak.

 

[SpringStein]

Of all the teams in the West, Minny is the toughest matchup for the nuggets.

Might know who I hope wins tonight!

Not a huge fan of using your challenge that early on a very 50/50 call but it works so I'm ok.

It’s a trend

 

[Picklerick 2.0]

That was 100 percent a charge on booker. But it would be his third so you know the overturned is coming.

 

[Mebert]

I see KAT is returning to his usual playoff self.

Told ya.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Told ya.

Well he was still moving. Wasn’t set

 

[Mebert]

I think Q2 is a little early for a below average shooting team to go three heavy like this. Feels like panic

 

[Picklerick 2.0]

You don't have to be set. Learn the rules. He was in a perfect defensive position and was straight up.

Booker pushes off every play.
