Lol good stuff. I'm glad we won, obviously. It wasn't looking good though for the first 2 quarters, I'm just a little frustrated that we can never blow these bottom feeders out.Sunsfan4life wrote:iLLmatic wrote:I bet you were sitting on that one, eh?Sunsfan4life wrote:iLLmatic wrote:You're pretty optimistic if you think we're gonna pull this one out.Sunsfan4life wrote:
2nd night of a back to back easy to see this one coming, meaning staying close. I still fully expect us to win but it will come down to the last 5mins of the 4th.
Nailed it.

Yea we definitely weren't playing well but Minnesota just finds ways to lose. If we were going shoot 5-100 on 3's we picked the right team to do it against. Plus when your playing well, like the sun have been, generally you have a belief in winning time. Too close though, gotta hit ur FT's.

No question in mind, the difference is Len staying in the game. His length down low stopped a lot of the easier shots for the Wolves.Sunsfan4life wrote:Yea we definitely weren't playing well but Minnesota just finds ways to lose.

it also helped that tucker was not shooting the ball well. #goingBIGin4thiLLmatic wrote:No question in mind, the difference is Len staying in the game.

OK, Thomas-Bledsoe-Dragic-Keef-Len is a pretty good closing lineup.

So much of a difference when Len is in the game -- and Plumlee is playing very well at the moment. It's almost like seeing Mutumbo out there again.iLLmatic wrote:No question in mind, the difference is Len staying in the game.

Don't do the finger wag, Alex, you might hurt yourself.

Think I like Lentumbo the best. Perhaps he should get in the habit of doing the finger wag.

I take it back. Had to go back and youtube Mutumbo...and Len is taller and more agile. Gotta hand it to McMiracle on this one.
