"The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town"

Yes folks our Suns are back home tonight to take on the Timberwolves for the fourth and final time this season. Nothing much has changed since we played them last week , they still sit 4th in the conference and have won their last two games while we have won two of three.
All of our games with them have been surprisingly close contests with Booker only playing in one game so let's see how the guys do tonight.

Go Suns !!!

It seems like we play the Wolves every other game. Pretty weird to face one opponent 4 times already this early in the season.

Despite a lot of media criticism, the Wolves are having a pretty darn good season. I think they're poised to be a fringe contender in the West for the next several years.

[TOO]

My favorite thing to do during Wolves is count how many times Wiggins passes the ball. I'm putting the over/under at 12 tonight.

[Cap]

Another hot start... /green

[EDC]

The starters off to a slow start. Who would have guessed.

[Shabazz]

The Fulton Homeless.

[Mori Chu]

Canaan has 3 assists already, at least. #silverlining

[carey]

The 2017 Suns everyone.

[Mori Chu]

I love watching Daniels shoot. We *have* to keep that guy on this team for years to come.

[Mori Chu]

Jackson to Len for a nice dunk. Am I allowed to loudly sulk all season about the fact that we are just letting Len leave for nothing, when he is clearly good enough to have become our starting center for the next 5 years?

[carey]

The Minnesota announcers are saying he was going at a defenseless player. He was clearly going for the ball. WTF.

How do you know we are just going to let him walk?

Also he wasn't ever this consistent his first 4 years.

[carey]

Yeah, common foul. Idiot announcers.

[Mori Chu]

Aaaaaaand we're down 41-24. Our offense is anemic. Feels like this one is going to turn into a rout.

The front office is to blame for pretty much all of it. They put Watson in charge of his progress. Then they fell in love with Big Sauce. A player no one bothered to scout who put up good numbers against scrubs. A 6'8" center who can't guard little guys in the pick and roll. How is that ever going to realistically work out.

[EDC]

I really wish Thibodeau would just shut the fuck up. He really does negatively impact the broadcast.

[bajanguy008]

rough first half so far, well one thing is the team don't seem to quit on Triano so hopefully we can chip away get it back under 10 or look at least respectable.
we are 2-1 against these guys so we knew they would try to make a statement though....

[bajanguy008]

I really wish Thibodeau would just shut the f*** up. He really does negatively impact the broadcast.

This is TRUE smh

Big sauce legitimately outplayed Len last year, regardless of who he was playing against. I'm not faulting the front office for not locking up Len last off-season. I wouldn't have done it.
