Game Day: Wolves (16-28) @ Suns (15-29), Tues 1/24/17

Post by Superbone »

Time: 7:00 pm AZ (6:00 pm PT/9:00 pm ET)
Place: Talking Stick Resort Arena, Phoenix, AZ

The Timberwolves are coming to town thinking sweep having won all previous meetings this season. The Suns have other ideas having just swept two Eastern Conference teams and playing their best basketball in two years.

Go Suns!!!

I always enjoy watching the Wolves. I promise not to post too many fawning messages about my boy Ru-bae-o.

Is he even playing? I know he's away for the death of a family member, Dunn has started the last 2 for them I believe.

This will be an interesting game. This Suns team just seems to have started to click together lately-ever since EW benched BK for not playing D.

I agree. This game and the games against Denver may make the difference between a shot at #8 and the tank.

It's a fascinating time coming up, a real fork in the road for the season. The next 4 games are TWolves (vying for 8th seed), Denver (8th) home and away, then Memphis (#7). THe difference in direction after a 4-0 run versus 0-4 (or even 3-1 v 1-3) could be rather stark.

And of course, 2-2 and then we don't know anything more than when it started. :)

we win tonight and denver loses and we move to 12th in west, just 2.5 games out of 8. With our next two games against Denver.

You're right. And of course that's probably exactly what we'll do!

If only Len had Chandlers hands and rebounding instincts. Sigh.

Knight in the game. Booker playing point.

Oops, BK tried to play point on that one. Turnover.

Suns up 11. 8th seed here we come! I wonder if we'll get the Warriors in the first round or if the Spurs will get past them for the #1 spot

The ref is part of the court, so had the ref been standing in bounds it would have been the right call, looked like the ref was out of bounds though.

Bledsoe is thoroughly out-playing Rubio thus far.

KAT could score 60 against us if they just keep feeding him. We have no answer for him.
