Game Day: Timberwolves (8-2) @ Suns (4-6), Wed 11/15/23

[Flagrant Fowl]

I'm sure it wasn't the first time based on his reaction. Maybe less sensation in his shooting hand is what he needs to hit 3-pointers?

[JeremyG]

Kinda quiet here after a dominating win against one of the hottest teams in the league.

I think it was more of a relief than a celebration at this point.

[SunsSince92]

Yeah, I think it's too early to get carried away with one win irrespective of how impressive it was. If Book plays tonight (listed as probable) and this marks the end of his injury problems then I think we can start to ramp up the optimism again. If we get Beal back that goes up another level.

For now I'm pleased with the win but cautious about getting carried away given what we've seen so far this season.

[Mori Chu]

Yeah, it was a really impressive and dominant win, but we're still 5-6 and still have one of our Big <= 3 out.

[Split T]

If you’re like me and don’t always see the details of what we are running offensively, here is a good thread to show we are in fact running offensive sets

[Split T]

Finally getting around to watching…Quite a first half for Eubanks in this one

[Cap]

Team is just completely different with the MVP of the league available

Book on court: +0
Book off court: +18

Weird.

Yeah, doesn't meet the eye test.

He was on the floor for two bad stretches.

He subbed in with 2:33 to go in the first and a 32-20 lead. We ended the quarter at 35-29. Book was 0-3 FG 2-2 FT during this stretch.

He checked in at the start of the fourth with a 110-82 lead, and checked out at 8:23 with a 115-95 lead. Book 2-5 FG 1-1 FT during this stretch. Perhaps not very meaningful when you’re up by 28 in the fourth, but still troubling to see given our fourth quarter history this season.

Both stretches he was on with JO-Drew-Yuta-KBD, with Goodwin coming on for JO a couple minutes into the latter.
