Life gives you piss in a glass, call it lemonade and give it to someone else .

Tbh, I understand a lot of you being concerned about our defense against the Suns but I think our issues have been mainly offensive against them. We give away too many points on turnovers.

Limit our turnovers and we should be way more competitive.

Other things to consider:

- Ant looked exhausted in the last game. He will have rested and should shoot/play better as a result
- KAT is back
- Suns shot lights out in the first quarter of our last game. That was an anomaly. We remained competitive the other quarters despite strongly losing the turnover battle

Suns will get points, it’s just how they are built.

We will be ready, i'm not worry. And Mike will be back to Grizz Mike level. Go Wolves !

Beal and GA shot lights out against us. The link I provided has Micah Nori talking about it. The Wolves coaches seem to know that Booker and KD will get their’s. The key is to contain the others. Nori suggests that they knew they would play the Suns and therefore we did not make adjustments in game 82 that we could have made (even before the game started,) so we could use them in game 83.

He certainly has been in the last 3.

Well, had they won game 82, they would play the Lakers. So, I am not sure I buy the "we had them right where we want them view", especially after 3 blowout games.

Hence my comment about lemonade above. It is also noteworthy that Denver only turned it up against Memphis in their game 82 once we were down big. For almost a full half they let the game stay close. I think had we been up big, Denver might have let the rope go and let us have #1 seed.

Also, had the Suns lost they would have been the 7 seed, played against LAL and the Wolves thought the Suns beat LAL.

I love Mike, but win it for people like me. We have waited twenty years to have a 55+ win season (literally,) Twenty years to advance out of the first round, and twenty years to have a legit national spotlight for something other than injuries and dysfunction. Yes win it for Mike, but also win it for the FANS!!!!

P.S for sticking with the ugly years, we deserve it!!!!

Kat went back to talk.. Let’s see if he can back it up.

Be mature and we win.

Go Wolves, i wake up 2.30 am for this one, couldn't sleep much anyway!
