Suns at Wolves 2/20

[04mzwach]

They started Bennett. I don't usually get to see the Suns play. This Bledsoe guy is unimpressive so far.

[KDthunderup]

Wolves got this

[04mzwach]

With Wiggins playing this good, we'll stay winning. I would like a pick in the top 5 though so we have a chance at getting Towns. If we somehow land a number 1 pick we should draft Okafor and trade him to whoever can give us top 4 pick and extra. I'm down on getting Towns, we need a defensive anchor.

[KDthunderup]

Wolves arent that bad when fully healthy, definitely not the worst record in the leage bad

[Thunderfan86]

Let's go Wolves!

.500 team, I don't expect you to believe me though.

[04mzwach]

I wonder if Dieng got a practice in with Garnett already. Dieng looks like a new player out there, dominating. It seems the Wolves have a new level of energy different from before. And Wiggins dunk. Wiggins is spazzing this game. Unstoppable in ISO

[wagexslave]

Damn this is really good game. Back and forth.

[LAZERUSS]

Honestly...I would take Stevie Wonder, shooting in a wind-tunnel, over Rubio shooting a wide-open 10 ft shot every time...

Just horrific...

[Phantom84]

Good job Wiggins keep winning bro.

how about you do your homework before you say something like that? It's half way through the season and people still don't know Rubio can shoot it.

[JimmyMcAdocious]

Payne's line:
14 minutes, 0-5, 0-2, 1-2, 4 rebounds, 2 blocks, 5 fouls.

[Fudge]

Thank you, Minny. :applause:

Eat shit, Phoenix!

[LAZERUSS]

Based on his career numbers?

:roll: :roll: :roll:

[Lebronxrings]

okc needing all the help they can get :facepalm

[wagexslave]

GG Wolves Fans. It was a fun one.

I wasn't expecting a W. I'm just glad I got to see a different variety of players on the court. Didn't expect us to be so close to pulling out a W with the team so shorthanded! I hope this new look Suns team can get into a groove now that some of the cancers are gone(mostly Plumlee and IT) and we got some new young talent .

[04mzwach]

:roll: :roll: :roll:
Compare his shot previously to his shot now and tell me it doesn't look way better. Then look at the confidence he shoots it with. Check out his stats from the games he's played this season, especially his 3 point shot above 40 percent and has a little under 3 attempts a game. He still can't finish around the rim so he'll have to get better at that.

[04mzwach]

One of the best shooting coaches in the league had been helping him in the off season and this season

My god...you're right...

after tonight's game the man is shooting a career-high .398 from the field.

Ok, I take back what I said...

I think Rubio could beat Stevie Wonder in a shooting contest. It would be close, but with his shooting coach helping him, I think that would put him over the hump.

Put Rubio below 10 feet and he'll lose. Put him over 10 feet from the basket and he'll win. Hes better at taking shots further away than closer.

So you agree that would be a close contest between Wonder and Rubio, then?

One-on-one, and I think Wonder would just continually back Rubio down, and pound him in the paint.

[04mzwach]

I'm not taking you seriously. I'm just laying out the facts so you can understand what Rubio can do now.

[LAZERUSS]

Well, I don't consider shooting .398 from the field as much of an accomplishment, ... do you?

Granted... .398 for him is like shooting like Korver as compared to his career FG%.

[04mzwach]

Well, I don't consider shooting .398 from the field as much of an accomplishment, ... do you? It depends. What Rubio has struggled with the most is hitting jumpers and now he shoots them consistently well. Like I said...it's the close stuff that is lowering his field goal percentage
