Game Day: Suns (58-14) @ Timberwolves (42-31), Wed 3/23/22

[Superbone]

Feels like a loss but also kind of feels like a game where we are down all game, only to win in the last minute.

Bingo. Except not quite last minute. More like last 6 minutes.

[Superbone]

Pat Bev is so fucking dumb. Yeah book got the hands on him but this dude tackled him lol

That guy brings out the worst in me. I was literally stomping my foot in the air on the couch hoping a Suns player would stomp on his head when he was rolling around on the floor after yet another flop.

[Superbone]

An absolute monster performance from Ayton. Hopefully we can chill the Ayton is trash/not worth the max/ let’s trade him talk after the game.

Guy is still inconsistent but less so every year.

Too bad we can't pay him based on his per game performance.

I would pay him, and note that he is doing this without CP3. That little turnaround hook makes him into a go to guy.

How about that? When CP3 first went on the IL, it seemed like Ayton lost his effectiveness. But he figured it out. Proud of the big fella.

[Superbone]

I'm very glad to lose my bet on the Wolves. I missed the entire second half from about the middle of the third onward, so I'll really enjoy checking out this replay.

That'll teach you! Never bet against the Suns!

Man the refs have lost control of this game…everyone pissed at them haha

[Superbone]

Yeah, this game was meaningless to them.

[Superbone]

Just started the game…1st Q almost over, but refs are doing a good job letting a lot go…Booker not too happy about it though. This is the problem when you have refs that call the game like the kings game.

I think you're going to be changing your opinion on the refs as you get further into the game.

[Split T]

I take back my earlier comment…whistle after whistle now…this has been a hard game to watch

[Superbone]

Ayton missing bunnies and Books and Bridges missing free throws…doesn’t feel like our night, but we’re right there.

Career high.

Could have easily had 40 had he tried to dunk those. I wasn't too happy at the time either.

[Superbone]

That was such a satisfying 2nd half. Think I'll watch the other broadcast now.

[Split T]

Clutch time has been fun to watch though

[Split T]

They need to give Booker an assist for that pass off the backboard to bridges…it was 100% a pass.

Minny chose to trap Book and Ayton made them pay. He’s gotten so good at that. Weird though because he honestly could have had 50 tonight. Missed some bunnies and a few times you just want him to take 1 more dribble.

Book struggled early, but he figured out the trap and we just cooked them over and over down the stretch.

Was a tough game to watch until the 4th, but the 4th was fun…let’s get win #60 tomorrow and clinch the 1 seed!

[Superbone]

They need to give Booker an assist for that pass off the backboard to bridges…it was 100% a pass.

You mean they didn't? Obviously a pass.

[Split T]

Nope…noticed he was at 7 assists before and he finished with 7 assists.

[Split T]

No shot attempt though, so I guess they’re treating it like Bridges picked up a loose ball…

Also the box score still has Booker credited with a travel at the end of the 1st half…need some stat corrections.

A successful reverse jinx is well worth losing a little pocket change. You should be telling me to bet against them every game.

So, you think I have to bet for them and you against them for them to win? Dude. Nobody can stop them from winning. It don’t matter what you do. I now have more pocket change. You less. Didn’t have to be that way.

[Flagrant Fowl]

WTF was that wrestling match called a no call

Bridges traveled before the pass. That was the right call.

Doesn't excuse the bullshit the Wolves are pulling right now.

BS. A lot of body contact there to force the travel, or are we talking about different plays?

It could be said Edwards fouled Booker before Bridges' pass, but one official called the travel on Bridges before the second called Edwards foul on Booker.

Ahhh I see

Upon review, the officials blew this call. Bridges didn't travel and even though it was a close call, the reason he almost traveled was because Edwards was trying to sumo wrestle Booker out of the post. The correct call was a blocking foul on Edwards.

[Flagrant Fowl]

The Pat Beverley technical foul in the third quarter was something else. Payne is in legal guarding position as long as he doesn't break the plane of the sideline before the inbound, which he didn't. Pat Beverley had the ball extended over the plane of the sideline into Payne's face.

He should've gotten that T just for being a dumbass who would violate such an elementary rule.
