It does feel a bit like “letting them play” has led to more turnovers in the paint so maybe that part benefits us as things only get more physical in the playoffs. But we are a smaller team and I hope it doesn’t work against us.

Still not sure what to make of the series. I think Suns in 6 is more than reasonable but you just don't know which Suns team will show up game to game. I think the Wolves length and athleticism could really bother Book, Beal and Allen and if Ant, KAT, Reid are shooting well it could be a very tough series. Conley's 3pt shooting is an x-factor too. Would love to see EG pop back up and win us a game with five or six 3s. But honestly, just don't know what will happen heading into the series.

I have to believe in our guys. We have consistently beaten these Wolves this year, and we're finally playing some of our best basketball at the perfect timing. I don't believe in us as a true contender, but I think we can pull off this upset. The playoffs are all about matchups, and this is the one matchup where I think we consistently come out on top.

Suns in 7 or Wolves in less than that. We don't have the mental stamina to close a team out earlier than necessary

Ish, Saban Lee, and Azubuike are not playoff eligible because they are on 2-ways…everyone else is
Doesn’t look like Damion will be available either, though he’s technically eligible.
Damn. There goes our shot.
IT + Damion Lee was supposed to be Backcourt 2020. We'll get 'em next year.

The only thing we can count on is Eubanks consistent good play.

^ Interesting stat, but weird visualization. He went "1-0" against them, for a "1.000" winning percentage, in each game?

I read on twitter Kellen Olsen has the TWolves in 6, with a big reason being that you can’t trust the Suns having consistent play.

I get it, I don’t blame him at all. Thats my main concern too. I think we win tho, I just don’t think it’ll be a sweep or 5 game series like so man fans are predicting.


But…part of me is ready believe lol I can’t shake that feeling that we are gonna run over these guys but in my head I know, base on everything we have seen, we shouldn’t trust these guys. Im going to choose middle ground between my heart and my heads, so I’ll say Suns in 6.

There's no reason to trust this team. And even with the talk about how they ended the season, I didn't think we looked like some juggernaut where everything clicked.

I agreed, while I think we’ll win the series, I don’t think it’ll be neat and pretty.

Suns in 5. There will be an injury in the series which will throw us off. Just seems to happen every playoff run.

Ant gets hurt. Since our entire defensive plan was based around him, we don’t know what to do and it throws us off for a game. :D
