I hope we give Bol Bol some run. I think he's earned minutes. Plus Bol always gets the crowd going. We could use that extra burst of energy.

At this point it won’t hurt to try something different.

All right guys. I have a little possibles to write some long post. I remember last PO series against Denver. We won two matches because

a ) Cameron Payne exploded and give us a lot of energy

b ) TJ Warren make some very huge shoots.

Ofc Booker and KD played a lot of better than now , but I think they will be better especially when the game is in Arizona.

So now what must be going to win match. I think Beal must shows that he has fuel and playing like his best matches in this RS. Drop 15 points in one quarter or something like that.

Grayson Allen must be healthy and this is obviously the most important thing now. Without him we lost best sharpshooter in NBA and maybe he would be that guy who make very huge shoots

I dream that KD and Devin wake up and drop together like 80 bombs. I don’t think that Jaden is defender that anybody can’t dribble and make shoots. Offense always win over defense.

FV looks like very confused on the bench , but defense in first half would be very nice like our standards.

Nurkic can make some points from post up. Come on guys , he scored a lot of points guarding by Jokic in one match.

They have a lot of athletic guys so I don’t know why Drew playing a lot of minutes. Give this minutes athletic Thad and let make some adjustment. We can’t more to lose , we can more wining.

About Bol I read couple post before so this is right. Play him on PF and even on SF, maybe he turn over in TJ Warren.

I hope that we will back to this series , if we lose it is gonna be swept.

Who is FV?

Yeah, Beal seems like he is the only guy playing with urgency like he says in that clip "it's time!" We need all 3 of them to play hard on every possession.

I really don't care about "feeling" that he is playing with urgency, he is not playing well enough in the playoffs.

He is averaging 14.5 points and 6 assists shooting 12/27 from the floor. His efficiency isn't there and he hasn't been a factor on defense.

We need him to play at a higher level, exactly the same that we need from KD and Book.

KD played very well in the first game and that's it. Beal was meh at best and Book was terrible.

And none of them played well in the 2nd game.

I agree none are playing well offensively, though he was 6-10 in the first game. He just seems to be hustling more on defense, getting a few steals in that game, and then the last one yes, none shot well, but everyone will have bad shooting nights so I suppose if they were going to all have a bad one, hopefully they got it out of the way, though of course the TWolves defense is no joke. On defense in the second one, he just looked to hustle more.I you are not making shots, don't start pouting at referees and not playing defense and being apathetic. We were simply better when Beal was on the floor, but yes, still not good enough, so I do expect everyone to step it up.

We were horrible overall from 3 in the second game but at least Beal hit 2 of 4 3s in that one. KD only had 2 attempts missing both and Book was 1-6. I know Book rarely plays well in the playoffs if we are down in a series or facing elimination, especially shooting from 3, but he needs to step it up too.

We won't get straight swept, we'll win on friday, and it'll be a gentlemans' sweep by the Wolves.

[Ghost of Kleine]

To take advantage and exploit the Wolves size, we have to get out and run so that they can't get their defenses set, and we need to keep their bigs moving to wear them down early. To clear Mcdaniels, we need to run him off hard picks and draw fouls off cuts and misdirection from back cuts, etc. Lastly, we need to push the pac out to the wings, and as they close out hard on our shooters, we need to be ready to pass quickly for drop offense schemes to draw fouls in less than ideal recovery situations. But keep pushing to wear them down early, and make them move the ntire game.

[LV-Suns]

Have we ever come back down 0-2?

and I bet Wolves won't even mind because it means they will clinch the series at home, for the fans.

I don't even care anymore at this point. All I want is for the Lakers to get swept and us to not be.

[spanishninja]

Have we ever come back down 0-2?

Not sure about being the lower seed, but just off the top of my head, the only one that comes to mind is 92-93 against the Lakers, but we were the 1 seed and it was a best of 5.

As an aside, we have also come back from 3-1 deficit too, 05-06 against the Lakers, but again, we were the higher seed.

I am not aware of any comparable situation to our present one where we actually came back from 2-0 or 3-1 and won the series as a lower seed.

He wouldn't be the "great mind" I think of.

The expected championship favorite Suns lose twice embarrassingly against the annual choker.
This season is over and so are the next 7 years.

Great is certainly a subjective term.

We need the 0.5 second offense and less pounding of the ball which is exactly what the Wolves want. Get KD and Book coming off screens and more motion offense and less trying to create from the top of the key.
