How disheartening are games like to the Timberwolves though? I mean, how many times has this already happened to them this season? Isn't this the second time we came back on them like this late in the game and won? I know there is such a small chance of Love actually coming here, but damn would he be perfect for this team. Hopefully he remembers these games and maybe it helps us get him in the end even though like I said, we probably won't get him.

I think it's pretty much official now - we aren't getting Minnesota's pick this year.

Talk about playing small ball. 2 points from Plumlee, 1 point from Len. That big come back run was done with Marcus playing C for an extended stretch. Really.
Go Suns!

I dunno there is a pretty good chance we don't make the playoffs. Then there is a very small chance we get a top 3 pick. If that happens Minny will have the 14th which would go to us.

Plus our chances of landing Love have definitely improved - what a clusterfuck of wet noodles they've got up there.....EDC wrote:The Bobster wrote:I think it's pretty much official now - we aren't getting Minnesota's pick this year.

And Tucker was guarding Love for a long stretch. Talk about a mismatch. But the dude hung in there and gave it his all.carey wrote:Talk about playing small ball. 2 points from Plumlee, 1 point from Len. That big come back run was done with Marcus playing C for an extended stretch. Really.

True, but the Timberwolves would have to catch the Suns otherwise - and the Suns odds of getting 1-3 is probably around 1.5%.EDC wrote:The Bobster wrote:I think it's pretty much official now - we aren't getting Minnesota's pick this year.

Honestly that's not much of a mismatch. Tucker is strong and physical, and Love is not adept at punishing guys in the low post. I'm not surprised that Tucker could hold his own.Superbone wrote:And Tucker was guarding Love for a long stretch. Talk about a mismatch.

It's incredible really. The team chokes more times than not. Can't see anything changing there anytime soon.Wally_West wrote:How disheartening are games like to the Timberwolves though?

Tremendous comeback. I thought it was over after surrendering 70+ points in the first half.
Another great night from the Morris Twins, but most prominently Markieff. All-around great game from him.

That was the kind of game you WIN if you really want to go to the playoffs. Yes SIR, Morris Brothers!!
