we can beat them if we stop fucking shooting ourselves in the foot. then again i feel like i’ve said this about every minnesota team that makes the playoffs for my life and it never works out
RussandPGfan
Good thing we got the bad games against them out of the way!
This team had a brutal loss against Atlanta in October and rebounded to one of the best stretches in team history
Have some faith Wolves in 5!

Damn fellas, not feeling good about this at all.

Suns licking their chops. This is very ideal for them.

Fuck all you doomers. You can be nervous, it’s clearly a bad matchup, but anyone out here on “suns in 4” shit can fuck all the way off.

Nightmare scenario

Can we keep quarter 1 competitive?? Do that the game can be winnable. Tired of playing catch up and exerting any kind of extra energy when down 12-18 pts.

Yeah.. my excitement for the playoffs has been basically killed in one day.
And it starts from the top of the roster.. compare it to Suns’. Actual elite shot creators.. tough mentality. Can get to their spots.
Wolves have the two most turnover prone “stars” in the league, Suns are handsy/effective at swipe steals. Nurkic is the type of body inside to neutralize a lot of what Gobert does. Match made in Hell.
Meanwhile Booker/Beal score with ease.. Edwards is getting clamped by Allen, Beal, Booker, KD.. anyone who tries. Can’t even get around Eubanks on a hedge. Hard to get excited for playoffs when guys show their true colors.. in all 3 games

Gotta figure out how to get Ant going vs Phoenix they’ve effictively taken him completely out of games 3 straight times. Net plus/minus of -63 in 3 games.

Finch better be ready to make some tough rotation choices this series.
They’ll start game 1 with the normal starting lineup but I would really love to see NAW, Ant, and Jaden out there to match up with every minute of PHX’s big three. PHX is going to continue to build a wall in front of Ant so NAW being lights out from the corners would help the offense tremendously. Having both Jaden (who is an inconsistent shooter to say the least) and KAT (who is rusty and still doesn’t play decisively or space out to the corners like Naz) out there really killed the offense. Conley is great at chasing shooters and would be a better matchup on Allen than Beal too.

We’re gonna need another Minneapolis Miracle, cause at this rate, it’s gonna be Suns in 5 lol
Can we try not getting blown out in the 1st quarter vs these guys? Every other quarter has been relatively close. Also 32 pts off turnovers for Phx, you are not winning any game that way IMO. Reduce the turnovers, slow the pace of the game down, don’t let them get out and run, and grind them down with our size and physicality. That is how you win this series, you muk it up inside and don’t allow any easy shots at the rim.

Y’all are lame as fuck.

Wolves have played 7 games in the past 11 days. I think they are just tired. Let them recharge with a week off and let’s see who’s the better team in 7.

Second best regular season in team history and so many of you are doing that corny woe is me, being a Minnesota sports fan is so hard thing lol. There’s still a guaranteed 4 more games of basketball to play, it’s time to lock in and support the team.
MinneEric
If we won, wouldn’t the Suns have been the 7 seed? And we still face them?
AdUnfair1051
Well we gotta beat the best to be the best… The only consolation I can think of is that they aren’t an overly physical team that roughs us up for the rest of the playoffs. Pelicans would be arguably a worse draw
SirDiego
Excellent. They have fallen into our trap. We were just pretending to be bad against them the whole season. Suckers!

Wolves in 6, you read it here first
JMinn868
The series is at 0-0 and we have home court. I understand the concern but there’s plenty of reasons to be optimistic. Ant looks wiped and he’ll have 6 days to recover.

If we can’t beat the Suns we don’t deserve to win the ship. Simple as that.
WanderingGopher25
Ask any vet with playoff success on their resume and they’ll tell you that the regular season results don’t matter come playoff time. Wolves in 6.
suckmyfish
I think if they can find a way to beat the Suns, it could carry them to the Finals.
SnooGuavas7291
Ima need Timberwolves fans to stop being so dismissive of our own team cus the suns fans will already be doing that lol. Yes this is literally worst case scenario but we move regardless

Literally, the worst matchup we could have in the west for me.
I’m taking the day to sulk about it. No one said itd be easy! Tomorrow we lock in
Glenn taylor probably regrets not selling now
Smfh
Was really hoping we wouldn’t get the Pels and now I realize this might be worse.
We’re so fucked. The Suns literally kicked our ass every time we faced them this season.
Hate to be a doomer but this couldn’t have gone much worse. Between this and the ownership debacle things feel pretty bad right now.
Welp, that’s a first-round exit
They scored 44 on us in the first quarter, lmao.
