Game Day: TWolves (10-11) @ Suns (10-12), Mon 12/9/19

[Split T]

With the exception of 3 games, we have alternated wins and losses the whole year. 1 3 game winning streak and 2 3 game losing streaks.

Oops. AMD just says "Ayton has gotten a lot stronger"

What’s wrong with that. I hope it’s true.

[Superbone]

Jerome doesn't make mistakes, but he can't pressure defenders yet. Keep working, kid.

He did exactly that for one possession anyway and caused a turnover.

Just hopefully not from whatever the diuretic was covering up

Well, it’s time for a winning streak.

Hey, he paid his time.

Play of the game was Kaminsky picking up his 4th foul early in the 3rd.

As cruel as the rim to a Kaminsky layup.

I know it's relatively early in the season still but that was a big win in the context of the standings. Twolves would have gone past us and Sacremento level. It was good to see it done with a pretty even effort with everyone playing their part - and defense!! It seems like that is sustainable, rather than relying on Booker or someone to get hot and carry the team. (Not sure who the "or someone" is, BTW!)

[3rdside]

Great win and statement making, putting the Wolves firmly in their place.

Give us Deandre, an injury free Rubio and Booker and it's playoff time, baby! But first things first - we're the Suns so excitement also being kept firmly in place.

[Nodack]

Baynes makes a huge difference even not at 100% and real limited minutes. I saw during the game where they talked about Monte worrying about bringing him back too soon. Baynes only has one speed and got hurt one game after coming back from being hurt, so they really wanted to limit his minutes. He still made a big difference. I will be giddy with Baynes and Ayton together healthy. We have been getting killed on the boards and inside. That swings back in our favor again soon.

[Nodack]

I am a little worried about Booker lately. He has taken a lot of hard falls and I think it’s catching up to him a little bit. Heading into the half he took a spill, was slow to get up walked gingerly to the tunnel. I guess he’s young and recoups fast.

utah not playing as well without rubio, and suns show much improvement with him. mvp?

does everyone else wish there was someone else to be a color commentator instead of AMD? She knows an order of magnitude more about basketball than I ever will, but calling a live, high-speed game just doesn't fit her.

Lol
Just getting to watch it and I was wondering if she was ever a topic in here. She kills the games lol

Was there really a doubt we would win last night after hearing it was those two birthday

Surprised no comments on the jerseys. I know most of us hate the issue with the font looking like "LOSS" but I actually think the colour combo looked fairly slick

[ShelC]

I never liked the 90s black jerseys, but for some reason I liked them last night. Ricky looked good in black, really accentuated his dark features and brought out his eyes and beard.
