Definitely an encouraging end to the season. I'm happy with how the final standings played out. We've matched up well against Minnesota, we've played Denver tough this year, and we avoid OKC until the WCF if we're lucky enough to get there. Hope this team is ready to rise to the occasion, it's been a rollercoaster of a season.

Yeah couldn’t ask for a better bracket. The only thing that would make it better is if the Lakers end up at 8, because they absolutely could take out the Thunder, Clippers, and Mavs.

Still, I expect it to be tough and I worry slightly about the Suns being overconfident. From the Wolves side if they make key adjustments and win game 1 it could be enough to flip the script and make them confident.

Couldn't ask for a better finish to a rough season and couldn't ask for a better 1st round match up.

This tam is incomplete and with real issues that MUST be addressed this offseason. We have incredible talent, But we have to decide to have urgency and grit! This is starting to feel like a bizzaro twilight zone version of our first season with Paul in which all/ most all of the teams that we had to face, had key players out or were just not at full strength! And that allowed us to basically run the table a bit and get all the way to the finals.

I guess my point is that IF we can only find our fight and "give a sh**" mentality, We can certainly make a decent run and maybe even push into the 2nd round with some luck! But we have to take advantage of these "gimmes" from the basketball gods to warrant recieving more good fortune. :pray: :lift:

No gifts at all, Anthony Edwards and KAT are available for the Wolves.


Incorrect reporting by some sites or clever strategy (element of surprise) by the Wolves?? Either way, it doesn't matter because it's all about closing now for the rest of the way. :wink:

Watched the abridged version of the game while waiting to click out from work and was about to post pretty much the same exact thing.

About as good as things could have gone for once.

Burning there is skill involved in beating a juggernaut team like the T-Wolves. They have been one of the best teams in the west all season long yet Suns continue to manhandle them. We’re witnessing history in the makings could a 6th seed suddenly upset a 3rd seed? Well, stay tuned to find out.
