100% bench players next game. Give them some playoff burn, rest the crew. Close out at home.

Good luck with that, PHX.
You give us too much credit. We don't change our approach.
SHAZAM!
Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

The Suns celebrated this matchup. They were desperate for the Wolves.

I don’t want to pile on your fanbase, but the offense wasn’t your biggest problem. You guys didn’t guard the corners or the paint.

Those Vegas fans love PHX too. Phx home team bet a bunch tonight. They can't be happy.
Minny deserves plenty of respect! Their poise in the 4th is so much more mature. Amazing. We got a good flippin team.
We have a great flippin team.
This game is everything you could ask for going in. WOW!

Guard is just a position in the lineup to this team.

If he missed both, do the fans still get Chick-Fil-A?
I feel sorry for Suns fan. How is it possible they didn't get a sandwich playing against Gobert. Suns should foul Gobert 5 more times.

The rubio, Kevin Martin, ak47, love, pek team was good, but like you mentioned, eventually fell apart as the game unfolded
They got a lot of injuries for that one year. Almost like a player going down every game.

Full credit to the team, they're absolutely dogwalking the Suns.
My crow is in the oven and I'm setting the dinner table.

Boston and OKC. Maybe Denver.

Tell Beal to stop hitting garbage time 3s, that will help.
Suns found something in the 4th. Playing Okogie instead of Nurkic actually works. That was the adjustment I thought they should had made. Also maybe start with Beal on the bench to have more energy/role players and less overlap with Booker for more scoring. So, I am not counting Suns out yet.

Wolves were treating it like garbage time. The rope had been released. This will not work in game 4. We destroy them on the glass.

I am counting them out.
Okogie was always the player they needed to use, and I am not saying that just because I own one of his Jerseys (Along with Alexey Shaved...).
It won't be enough, but it's clear they needed to go small with Okogie who is a beefy dude and can at least use his lower body strength to fight through contact defensively.
Ah well, Suns can re-tool this off-season with different minimum level players, run up and down regular season defenses only to meet the same fate next year against Minnesota/OKC/Denver.
