The Wolves are just taller and overall better in efficiency. Suns will need to revamp.

Yep much longer and can penetrate with very little resistance.

Suns are a terribly built roster.

Don’t really get what Vogel is doing. Early in the season I felt like Book ran a bunch of PnR and it was “Point Book”.

Feel like I’ve hardly seen it in this series. They just go down and iso.

“Gobert trade is the WORST IN NBA HISSSSTOWWWWWWY”

 

[651akathepaul]

The hype of close games between Lakers/GSW in January was my tipping point...tried to tell y'all it was a mid-off.

 

[Kierris]

Antman needs to reevaluate who his “GOAT” is after this series

Why? KD is past his prime and has been slowly declining each year since the Achilles tear. It's crazy the standards y'all hold these new gen athletes too... Also, this is Book's team yet everyone is focused on past prime KD.

Don't kick us while we're down brother.

Eh. I don’t think they do. They just can’t guard and their all world scorers aren’t all world scoring

They don’t need a point guard to get theirs

The crowd saying that never gave any examples of who should be PG for them.

Dudes just be talking

Suns have 3 SG’s that just play your turn my turn basketball

Team defense too good. Rudy has help, so bringing Rudy out to the perimeter and switching won't work without a real threat of a big.

KD, Bron, and Steph need to team up next year.

Might want to wait and see how they do teaming up this summer

 

[wavycrocket]

Walker Kessler is basically putting up the same numbers as Goober now that he's starting. While making $35M less. And that's just one part of the trade

Meanwhile the Wolves are going to be in the play-in. Just like last year. Perhaps even the same seed.

So confident, Tell me more?

The torch isn’t being passed to the next generation of NBA stars so much as they are forcefully snatching it in this round of the playoffs.

It’s a good time to have young ascending players, there is no old heads good enough physically to stop em right now …Bron, Steph, KD, Khawi etc still got the skills and knowledge but it’s a struggle to keep up with the youngins for a full 48 let alone a playoff series and run

It's the same problem that was in Brooklyn. You got 3 ball dominant cats who like to iso and outside of them you have no depth. KD has been on two teams constructed like this... Do these people think you can really win with rosters constructed like this? Some of these gms are terrible.. This isn't 2k.

Every publication I’ve read or seen this year has had KD ranked as a better player than Bron so I’m just judging accordingly. I’m trolling with the Antman take tho lol

Rudy gobert revenge tour

 

[651akathepaul]

Don't kick us while we're down brother.

Not my intention. I mean, it was a competitive game, just not between 2 good teams....I just saw it coming a mile away.

Stirred up by false commentary on the Wolves when I strongly sense folks weren't really watching like that...wanted to get them on National TV so yall see what I see...oh well..I was right...nanny-nanny-boo-boo.



LFG!!

Rankings are subjective.. I have no idea why we still give credence to other people's opinions on stuff like this especially biased sports writers. KD and Bron in the same tier tho.

Pacific Division going out sad as hell this season

LFG!!

I've been the most vocal supporter of Rudy Gobert since everyone flipped on him during that COVID stuff.. I have also been adamant that the trade was a win for y'all since it happened.. most people are casual fans who only watch a handful of teams so you can't really take their opinions seriously.

 

[frshstunna]

KD tried to stick Ant and it resulted in a blow by dunk, just can’t keep anymore lost a step

 

[jpzx]

O no not the Suns going down to a good team.

 

[N41D]

Suns really might be cooked

They stuck with their roster or they gonna just blow it up

Might be?

Dudes is chalked. There's not even a reasonable path forward.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

This is why I had the wolves at the top of the no excuses list all year. They’re proving it right
