What Can We Learn From the Phoenix Suns Dominating Minnesota In the Regular Season?
The Phoenix Suns owned the Minnesota Timberwolves in the regular season, but how real was it?
Brendon Kleen of @justbasketballfans breaks down lessons from those games on each side of the ball including the Suns’ Big 3 as jump shooters, the value of Jusuf Nurkic, and how Minnesota could use Anthony Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns. Then, a look back at the Wolves’ loss to Denver in the playoffs last year.

I think that although Minnesota has a great balanced defense, the suns have just a little too much perimeter initiation and are able to negate gobert through drive and kick offense getting the defense into rotation.

Great job Brandon Thank you for your Suns coverage. Go Suns🏀🙏
Brendon I think this will be Bradley Beal,s breakout party as far as Playoff Greatness well deserved for him as a great player and teammate.🏀🙏
The suns are mainly a jump shooting team that makes Rudy gobert less effective knowing that he can’t guard the perimeter only around the paint. The suns are a bad matchup for the wolves, the wolves fair better vs teams like Lakers, nuggets, or thunder their best players score majority of their points in the paint.
I do not care about the regular season at all. Like Nurk said on the radio it's 0-0 again. Suns had beaten the mavs about 10 times in a row in the regular season before the semi-finals in 2022 and we all know how that went.
unlike our team's coaches other coaches can make adjustments so you can expect whatever advantages suns have against any team in the regular season will be gone
This is the first time I have heard you make an honest assessment of the Suns . I guess it because you didn’t talk much about Booker.
