Game Day: Timberwolves (25-21) @ Suns (24-21), Wed 1/29/25

It's a good Beal game

[specialsauce]

It generally feels like this team is starting to turn a corner but idk, I’m not sure if I’m ready to believe just yet….

Am I ready to be hurt?

They’re playing much better, but still don’t think they are actually good…they are a solid 5-6 seed level team and are playing like it.

You’re not wrong, but they looked like bottom 5 team for such a huge chunk of the season, seeing this is very encouraging, makes me almost feel optimistic that they can look even better by the season end, like better than a 5 or 6th seed?

Like I said, I’m not sure I’m ready to believe that just yet, but my heart definitely wants to haha.

I hear ya…makes me want to trade for Jimmy even more…he doesn’t have to take us from 11 seed to 2 seed…just 5 seed to 2 seed

THIS IS THE WAY

[Mori Chu]

Pretty good first half. Excellent game from Beal, 11 pts on 5-7 shooting and good hustle and energy overall. Book is superb with 18 first half points; feels like he wants to show the world that he, not Ant, is the best SG in the NBA. We could use some more help from our wings and role players; almost no contribution from Tyus, Royce, or Grayson so far.

[Split T]

All that Ant complaining worked…wolves getting a friendlier whistle

[Wally_West]

This team is so fucking dumb with their decision making.

[Wally_West]

Dunn making a lot of rookie mistakes but rather him playing than Royce right now.

[Wally_West]

Just dumb decision after dumb decision. That’s the the 3rd quarter. Need to lock in the 4th.

[Gladiator]

Wolves have us a bit rattled after lifting their defensive intensity. 3/4 time break is timely - hopefully we can refocus and finish strong from here.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Officials let this get out of control with their inconsistent whistle. Now the Wolves are just crashing into everyone and reaching everywhere without consequence. Finch getting ejected was the best thing for them.

[Wally_West]

Mason too frustrating. Just doesn’t have it anymore offensively. They don’t even need to guard him on the short role. *sigh*

[Wally_West]

Need one fuckin role player to step up. Just one.

[TOO]

This team is dumb. I don't even know why I watch.

[The Bobster]

"Point Book" just doesn't cut it.

[SunsShine]

We still suck.

[Split T]

We should’ve won this one…we let them hang around when they weren’t making shots

[Wally_West]

Wolves running away with the game now. We are beating ourselves right now.

[Wally_West]

Still plenty of time but NEEDS TO GET STOPS

[Split T]

That’s gonna do it

[SunsShine]

Just stand pat and blow this team up in the offseason.

[Wally_West]

Just dumb shit.
