Game 70: Minnesota T-Wolves(23-43) @ Phoenix Suns(23-46)

[RunDogGun]

Cool Mattya, I guess me pointing things out is crying, but you pointing things out (as an excuse for not having wins) is not crying? Well I guess you told me. Did your team not shoot nineteen more free throws than ours? Do you think nineteen points affect a ballgame? I never said we didn't earn the fouls called on us, just pointing out that the same contact on the other end, was not called, and it showed in the free throw stat. Nor did I say we would have won the game if it wasn't for that difference. We shot terribly, which I said multiple times.

I never called your team bad, to try and be rude to you. You did that. I never said your team sucks. I just thought it was stupid to brag about beating a "bad" team, when your team only has one more win than that team. Again something you did, not me.

Trolling Jim Pete? I never even mentioned his name until you brought him up. I didnt know which goof said what. I just said that the commentators sucked and seemed to watch the game through Wolves colored glasses, which they did. I mean with the comments they made and the discrepancy of fouls called in an away game? Are you kidding me! Do you really think our team fouled that much more than your team? Are you a Laker fan as well? (never mind you're probably too young to get the joke).

And yes you were bragging about why you would have a good night.

[RunDogGun]

The game was never really competitive, I have a hard time buying that a some calls is what cost us. The Suns dont get to the rim and settle for bad shots, it typically will result in low FT numbers, defensively the Suns frequently get to spots late (largely because of the earlier mentioned horrible defenders who are frequently screwing the pooch), play like that results in a lot of opposition FTs.

They lost by 31 on their home court... to a 24 win team.

As someone on another board stated beautifully, the team has only been this awful twice in their history; when they were an expansion team, and later when they were all on cocaine, and right now they are playing like an expansion team on cocaine.

Speaking of drugs, can someone spike Beasley's food with some cannabis? Get him suspended, maybe his contract voided? With each game I get more and more disgusted by that lazy, stupid PoS.

I never said that is why we lost the game. But it completely changed the game. Equal contact was not called equally. Yes we were late in some rotations, but so were the Wolves. We missed open shots, and they hit theirs. Just by that, I don't think we would have won the game.

Lol. too young? The typical response for someone who doesn't have anything better to say. Also usually said to someone older than them. Just more bad jokes and assumptions....

You want to bait someone, you will get a response. Hardly bragging, especially when I said I would have a good night because my team won in response to you repeating "have a good night." You keep on crying about these fouls. When did I say there wasn't a discrepancy. There usually is. Some people cry about it. Others realize it is part of the game. Just like injuries. Its something you need to learn to deal with. Wolves are one of the league leaders in Free Throws drawn when we have a healthy roster. When healthy we have Kevin Love, Nikola Pekovic, Andrei Kirilenko, and Ricky Rubio. All those players get to the line at good to great rates.

You were complaining about the commentator all night. I could care less if you do. You asked if he had ever played basketball. I informed you he played in the NBA. Then you went of on this obsession with him.

and yes you have been crying all night.

[King Of Wang]

Then why would you want me to tell him he sucks?

My night doesn't rely on wins, but when we do win, in blowout fashion, especially after injury filled seasons it feels that much more sweet. The past 2 games were the first time we had 11 healthy players in 4 months. We have an excuse for sucking this season. Love out for most of the season, Rubio being out into December, AK and Pek missing a lot of games, Budinger out for 4 months, josh Howard blew out his knee, Malcolm Lee blew out his knee, Barea has missed games. We were starting Rubio, Ridnour, Gelebale, Williams and Steimsma for 10 straight games.

Cry about injuries, yet brag about beating a team playing their third string center (because of injuries to their starter and sub)? And we didn't even start that center, we started our PF. You still only have one more win, then what you say is a bad team. Meh, enjoy the calls and nineteen more trips to the free throw line. And I don't even hate the Wolves, I live in St Paul. We've been starting third and second stringers for many games.

Anyways.... Have a good night Mattya.

Did you really think I wanted you to tell Jim Pete he sucks? Like you really know him. And even if you did, you probably think he is great. To me, he seems just as bad at commentating as he was as a player.

1.You act like I don't know my team has sucked this season. You must not be able to read where I said we suck.

2. Cry about injuries? I think you must be mistaken at what crying is. You were the one doing that in this thread, the entire night. I realize you had guys sitting tonight. Get back to me when 4/5 of your starting lineup doesn't play together for a month.

3.Brag? Seriously? You wanted to bait, and I answered you. Now you want to call me out. That is pretty sad.

4. I don't know Jim Pete. I just wanted to know why you were so obsessed with him. I don't think he is great. That is just you trying troll and assuming things, again. But you know what they say about people who make assumptions.

Good night RunDogGun.

'
Mattya, I apologize for RDG. He honestly gets on everyone's nerves on this board except bigfoot and cutter. He does not represent the Suns fans on this board and I'm sorry that he had to anger you as well. Please don't think we are all like that. You are a great poster, and you guys have a great young team over there and whooped us fair and square. Injuries had nothing to do with it at all. That's his ID, always makes excuses for why our team sucks, yet he watches a few games per season lol. And it's funny how he lives in Minny and doesn't even realize that KEVIN LOVE is injured!!! I'm pretty sure Love would whoop our entire team 1 on 9 (if Dragic wasn't playing). So again I am sorry he angered you as well, you don't deserve his tricks. You guys have a great young team with unlimited potential in Minny and are on the rise, while our team sucks donkey balls. I speak for 99% of the people on this board that we envy your team with great young players such as Rubio, Love, Pekovic and a great future ahead of you guys. We salute you guys and respect your team and you guys destroyed us fair and square, no excuses. That was just a good old fashioned WHOOPIN!!! Best of luck to your guy's team but please make the playoffs next season so we can have your pick!!

Much love, from a depressed Suns fan

Complaint about the commentators? Dude please stop, I did nothing of the sort. I just pointed out their stupidity. You never acknowleged the free throw difference, nor did you ever comment on similar or same contact being called heavily on one end. Yes sometimes the calls go more to one side, but that usually happens when you play superstars, or an away game, neither applies tonight. Same contact was not treated the same, and it was a huge margine. The Wolves shot almost twice as many free throws. Again, not something I would brag about if it was my team winning.

I never baited you. Talk about crying.

Again, it was a rhetorical question. Clearly it wouldn't matter if he had played, he could not make the correct call either way. It's more sad knowing he actually did play.

I guess I should say, "Have a terrible night" so I don't bait you, to say rude things about my team on our board?

[RunDogGun]

And the age thing only pertained to the joke, that you didn't get.

[Revived]

We didn't have Dudley or O'Neal tonight...why were people expecting us to not get blown out?

Because its a home game? Oh yea I forgot how we're such a monster home team...

Can you PLEASE stop trolling and baiting EVERYONE??? C'mon man, you give enough to the Suns fans on this board, at least leave opposing fans alone?? You can do it to Flakers and Sterns fans but enough is enough. Good God, how in the world are you not banned or suspended yet????

[Alyosha12]

Dragic averaging 10+ assists per the last few games, while the team is shooting 34% from the field is impressive IMO.

[sunsdragic]

lose by that much in home game.
wtf is wrong lol

all these kids doesn't want ball..

[Frank Lee]

......... And I don't even hate the Wolves, I live in St Paul. ........
Anyways.... Have a good night Mattya.

......

St PAul eh ? Did you have a chance to get to one of the finest watering holes known to mankind ? .... before they closed


Wasn't a barstool in the place, known to serve up the stiffies, and had a bumper pool table. RIP SUFs. They join my list of deceased Frank dives.... Frank's Friendly Tavern in Tempe. You had to like a place with pink pickled eggs, cheap beer and a slide puck bowling machine/league. And Franks Tavern in Fenton Mi, serving up perhaps the best fish and chips in the US, with their ketchup/mustard/? secret sauce mix. Not that I seek these place's out.... the 'Frank'ness is purely coincidental. All but memories now.


Hey Mattya.... don't worry about the back and forth... next yr, no doubts, this board will be keeping an eye on and want Minny healthy. (you in the playoffs = pick for us) Hope your coach stays.... but he has more important things to tend to.

[RunDogGun]

No Frank, I hadn't had much time to get out to bars, pubs, or many eateries except the 5 8 restaurant for a juicy lucy. But we've only been here since December. And just had a baby last month. I have been to the zoo about twelve times, the Aquarium four times, and the Children's museum a few times, because we also have a two year old. But we have been to two Minny games already.

As far as the back and forth, I didn't say his team was bad, I just pointed out that it's silly to call us a bad team, when his team had only one more win than us. Again, I like Minny, I get to watch them the most (living here now), and although I went to one of the Suns games here, I also went to the HOU game.

I'll keep eye out for a dog stand.

[RunDogGun]

Dragic averaging 10+ assists per the last few games, while the team is shooting 34% from the field is impressive IMO.

Yep, it's smart to look at the few positives.

[Revived]

1) it was a rhetorical question

2) Asking you a question isn't putting words in your mouth

3) I'm not expecting him to care. He sure doesn't seem to mind looking stupid on air.

4)I didn't think your night would rely on whether your team won a game or not. And it isn't like your team has a ton more wins than said bad team. But I would feel good if my team got that many calls on someone else's court. Well, not really.

Then why would you want me to tell him he sucks?

My night doesn't rely on wins, but when we do win, in blowout fashion, especially after injury filled seasons it feels that much more sweet. The past 2 games were the first time we had 11 healthy players in 4 months. We have an excuse for sucking this season. Love out for most of the season, Rubio being out into December, AK and Pek missing a lot of games, Budinger out for 4 months, josh Howard blew out his knee, Malcolm Lee blew out his knee, Barea has missed games. We were starting Rubio, Ridnour, Gelebale, Williams and Steimsma for 10 straight games.

Injuries aren't an excuse for Minny anymore. They get hit with injury problems EVERY season so they should be expecting/be used to it by now.

When was the last time the Timberwolves had a relatively injury free season?

[EB2]

The game was never really competitive, I have a hard time buying that a some calls is what cost us.

I'm just gonna put this quote in my sig if you don't mind.

About 2 seasons ago. We just looked like a team that was injured and was sending out DLeague type talent. Last season was relatively light. Rubio was the only one to miss significant time. Love missed about 10 games (including suspension), Pek missed a few with an ankle sprain. This season we have had terrible luck. Like I said before our game against the Kings this week we haven't had more than 11 players available to actually step on the court for a long long long time.

Funny story --- last night I was at American junkie in old town Scottsdale and I saw some if the wolves players .

I'm amazed he survived an encounter with a bear.

[Mjee]

He was huge but skinner than we looks on tv!! But he is one dude nobody at the club would mess with lol! I mostly spoke with AK, he was actually pretty cool!
