Game 82: Suns at Wolves (WE MADE IT!)

Post #41 » by **Calinks** » Sun Apr 14, 2024 8:24 pm

The fact that we can't be physical and the fact that they are great hitting mid range shots which is the the type of shot our defense is designed to give up, spell disaster. They take away our strengths of physicality and hugely reward their strength of shooting.

Beal is a nobody

Beal bout to get cooked by Ant

That is somehow Finch's fault?

We are trending towards worse case scenario. I'm pretty nervous

Games like this are why a winisawinisawin is NOT a win during the regular season.
All that bad play and dumb decision making that we got away with against bad and injured teams, we are NOT going to get away with against a good team in a playoff environment.

17 turnovers in the first 21 minutes. abominable.
We would be losing this game to the worst tanking team.

Yes, I don't like the rotation we put out there. We didn't made adjustments since the last time we play them.

This is going to be a disaster series. It wont be an upset either.

Lakers now up 20, thunder up 38. Denver only up 5.

Welcome back Karl Anthony Turnover machine.

Is Morris injuried? TJ Warren and Morris should get minutes against Suns to slow down the outside shooters

Yooo. You are back in this. The second half, CLEAN IT UP!

Towns is so annoying with that move. its an automatic offensive foul dude.

Would make it interesting if memphis beat denver

Ugh Towns. Never drive on a smaller guy

If sit KAT, and we play 2nd quarter defense level in the 2nd half and cut out the turnovers we have a chance.

Nothing but basic passes in the second half. Keep elbows LOW, no high elbows because they will call that. If we post up, no aggressive power moves, just methodical moves. We can't do anything wild or physical right now, they are calling it all. Just play simple and ultra clean ball. When KG starts flailing and throwing elbows, defend him but try to sell it. They are letting him be physical but maybe they will start calling some stuff on him.

Looking like
1 OKC
2 DEN
3 MIN v 6 PHX
4 LAC v 5 DAL

7 NO VS 8 LAL
9 SAC VS 10 GSW right now.

OKC will have a smooth ride with either of those teams. Denver might have some trouble with the Lakers but nothing real. I think we will have a serious series with the Suns but we could win, could go 6-7 games. Clippers vs Dallas is a bit of a toss up, I'd give the slight edge to Dallas. Both teams are inconsistent.
