You can keep crying about a point guard but it’s the center position that’s the biggest need right now.

Oh look an untimely turnover and multiple offensive rebounds to the opposition down the stretch. That’s your 2024 Phoenix Suns!

All the respect in the world to by far the best player in this series, Anthony Edwards.
Yep, he's got that thing that Booker doesn't. Im gonna do what I want and you can't stop me.
Book used to play like this until KD joined the team.

This roster is a mess, I don’t know they’re gonna do this offseason.

Aside from Brad Beal absolutely shitting the bed, I can live with this loss. At least we competed, responded to punches until we couldn’t. Respect to MIN, they’re a much better team. Had we had this level of focus throughout, perhaps we would have pushed them to 6 games, but they’re just head and shoulders better than us.

When we made the trade I figured:
1. Can’t be worse than CP3 being inevitably injured
2. Can’t be worse than Shamet!

Turns out you can be both of those things. An absolute net negative. His trade value is torpedoed, he has the NTC, and $150 million reasons to coast. I don’t know how in the heck we improve this roster.

I disagree. He played more like Edwards when he was in his optimal position as a shooting guard.

I haven’t seen him grab the bull by the horns much this season. It’s his fucking team and he went full turtle. It only took one season to change my opinion on him that’s how frustrated I am with his play.

Cmon, Beal was the only one who played like he give a shit in the first 3 games
I completely disagree.
+1
Love how you guys waited until Beal had a stinker to jump all over him.

The defense from NAW, Gobert, and McDaniels will not get the credit it deserves. Those dudes are why the Suns had no shot.

See. We don't need a point guard. Let's not bother next season either.

It sucks to be this excited and see so much potential in this team, then to see it utterly wasted by the lack of fire in the belly we've seen way too often this season. Ok, this game was better than the prior three...but that's the deal...the team that was there for the prior three games was sleep walking. And tonight, Young, Bol, Thomas...ZERO minutes...meaning, we didn't really try anything new after going down 0 and 3...really? You'd didn't change your roster around at all? Wow...he couldn't have tried SOMETHING different? Ugh...

Yes, it is both Center and back up center.

They didn't have enough big men to match up with Minnesota and they didn't have enough quality small payers to force their big men off the court. And they didn't have the innovative coaching to figure anything else out.

Even Conley getting offensive rebounds though…that’s why Minny is winning
Offensive rebounds was the story of the game. So many second and third chances for the Wolves.
