We need to get our offense going though, they are playing a tight box and one on Ant and other than KAT our outside shooting has been really bad.

Need some more slice and dice from Mike and Rudy creating some driving lanes.

What's worse is those miss 3s lead to quick baskets by PHX, so, almost like 5 pt play. Just hit a couple 3s and we would be up by 6 in the half.

I think the wolves were too thirsty for the win early and got in their own heads. Wolves should be blowing them out.

Step up in the third like you have been and Phoenix will start to doubt themselves. You have to TAKE this game. It’s good practice for later rounds though

No easy baskets for Conley tonight, that maybe the biggest difference between tonight's game and the other 3

That was 100% on Rudy.

Dumb play.

Love that hook shot by Towns. He needs to use more of it to mix with is bull runs

Jaden needs theme music. I am thinking remember the name by Fort Minor. I suggest this because no one in the Suns fan base is likely to forget him anytime soon ;)

When Booker drives to the hoop to initiate contact, he often uses his off hand to hit the defender in the face


And he gets away with it all the time.

Minnesota's zone looks terrible, time to shelve that and go back to man-to-man.

It’s not soft, it’s a breakdown in communication. Guys are not sure when to switch and when not to. Karl should have picked up Booker on the drive, but he thought Naz had it. This happened with Rudy on the floor and off. The guys don’t have their usual level of focus.

Karl gets a horrible whistle
