Yeah I know I'm a day early, but we all know the stakes for the next 1.5 weeks.

BUT.....Durant hasn't seen a Seatbelt in nearly two years.

Of course Durant comes back for this game. I'm thinking Jaden's D on KD and Rudy's owning the boards lead us to victory.

Probably need this one if we want to keep any hope of the 4 seed.

Props I get worried when I don't see a thread. Like 7+ years ago there would be threads multiple days in advance I feel.

Durant is a Freak. Everytime he misses long periods of time due to injury, he returns in prime KD form.

AZ radio has been hyping The Return for well over a week. It’s going to be a tough environment and KD has played great for Suns when he’s played. Another huge test for MN. Like to see everyone available for both sides.

I'm thinking to get up at 5am to watch the second half...If we are trailing by 20+ points all of you will hear my screams/insults/profanity from Italy!

So just a normal game then?

If we win this, we'll make big noise in the playoffs

Yup--The Suns have had our number too [it has seemed that way].

We really match up well with Phoenix defensively...

Conley on Paul
Edwards on Booker
McDaniels on Durant
Either big on Ayton, with the other on the fifth starter

That’s nice and all but who’s going to contain Okogie?

Not sure if serious...

Okogie's a 32.8 3P% this season (28.8 3P% for his career).

I know this probably isn't the smartest as far as seeding goes, but I'm kind of hoping he is at his best (health wise). I'd like to see how this team adapts and learns to deal with teams playing at a very high level and not have to wish for a team to be without their major pieces.

Will be a great indicator of whether or not the Wolves can hang with the top tier teams in the west right now.

Also, I believe that if the Wolves get the Suns best, they can still find a way to win this game.

Anderson out is a massive blow. Outside of Conley, he's our primary playmaker especially the second group with KAT back.
