Naz Reid is putting big numbers since Gobert is out.

We need to make good closeouts on his 3p attempts but not hard closeouts because he can put the ball on the floor too.

Suns kickstarted the season with a big win over the pelicans, now it's time to build on that win streak of 1 by beating those pesky pups from Minnesota.

"These should be playoff feel type games from here on out the rest of the season."

Devin Booker as Phoenix Suns face Minnesota Timberwolves to begin an 8-game stretch against teams ahead of them in the Western Conference.

Suns are 11th in the West.

As a start don't make this MIN game feel like the playoffs series.

Hello from the other side
I must've called a thousand times
To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done
But when I call, you never seem to be home

Nice to have play off feeling in March, get the disappointment early so we can all move on to nice things in the spring/summer

If we don't get this one, we're pretty much done. I don't have very high expectations for tonight.

Booker with two TO's that allowed 2 wide open 3's.

His basketball IQ is just not good...

As I write this make that 3 straight TO's with a bad pass to KD that got picked off for a breakaway dunk. :banghead:

When will he ever learn to make his passes high enough so it doesn't get picked off easily????

how dumd you must be to make the three same kind of turnovers over and over again

schnakenpopanz · Post #13 » by **schnakenpopanz** » Mon Mar 3, 2025 3:04 am

had a great start then they turned the turnover machine back on again

This is not a very smart basketball team.

Repeat the same stupid mistakes and give up a double digit lead....

garrick · Post #16 » by **garrick** » Mon Mar 3, 2025 3:08 am

Book is out and we build up the lead.

Can't have the "leader" of this team be so dumb that he keeps repeating the same mistakes on 4 straight plays when he knows the double is coming. Just lazy stupid passes that are telegraphed even a 6th grader could pick off those passes.

doubling point booker has been the easiest defensive strategy vs the suns for years.
too bad brain fart after brain fart on the coaching staff and booker.

It finally feels good to be a Suns fan. If Bol Bol started early in the season we’d be a 50 win team easily. Bol Bol for president.

Doubling Booker almost guarantees a possession in your favor. He's awful when pressured and rarely makes a smart play out.
