Textbook start and my NBA league pass isn't working. Terrific

“It’s only been two games the wolves took care of business at home. Now it’s Suns turn to win their home games and tie up the series. The Wolves are more difficult it’s going to be a long series, but I still expect Phoenix to win the series. We have more firepower. Please be patient guys it’s not over by a long shot.”

Suns big 3 is using that reverse psychology, miss shots early. Allow our role players to get points, catch the Wolves sleeping, and all of a sudden... boom. Big 3 decides to make shots, law of averages. Love the strategy. This is 5d chess.

I’m sorry to say this fellas, but Phoenix is not a contender this season. As soon as everyone accepts this the better we can move forward.

Minnesota is a good defensive team and we don't have a traditional pg but it's still baffling to me how our offense is so bad with three historically good scorers on this team.

9 of their 12 are off our 4 turnovers. This team just can't do the basics

Not sure anyone thought we were a serious threat for a title after how crap the team was during the regular season. Mostly seemed to be people thinking we could win this series and that'd basically be it

Adam Silver needs to make the call and get the Suns some BS calls in the Suns favor man. Does he want stars like Devin Booker and Kevin Durant in the next round or Anthony Edwards and bunch of relative nobodies (that casual sports fans wouldn’t know) in the next round?

Booker is the most overrated star in the league and probably 1A/1B with Aaron Judge.

Last time out Suns were down 8. This timeout, Suns only down 6. Like I said, Vogel got em right where he wants em.


Seriously though... limit the turnovers!

How long before the finger pointing begins? Are we going to get another ‘they wanted it more than us’ comment from a player?
What ? Me Worry ?

Return to Phoenix Suns
