When he was on the Nets you didn’t call him a snake. Why now when he’s on a different team when Nets just traded him on their own will? Classy

He requested a trade, he's a snake in my eyes **** him

[Xiao Yao You]

poor Manny

[Xiao Yao You]

shutting them down. Kat looking for 40 and Gobert on his way to his usual double double. Would move within a half game of the Suns

Nah it's over

[Xiao Yao You]

Nah it's over

1 possession game

[Proctor]

Might have to give Garza a look in the next few games if Reid's wrist is hurt and Gobert is going to get beat on the glass by Craig. It's almost the playoffs. Up the care factor a little :facepalm

Edwards, Towns and Reid show as usual

[GrayGoat]

Wolves need to give Reid more Gobert minutes. They need his scoring

[Proctor]

Gobert with a host of stupid fouls. No better than Drummond if you're going to play like an idiot and still put up a poverty double double

[BigShotBob]

1 possession game

like I said

It's over

[RRR3]

You just can’t count on Toody in critical games. Constant turnovers, silly fouls and chokes on defense.

[GrayGoat]

Wolves really need to close games with Reid and Kat together. Toody needs to be on the bench

[Proctor]

Some guys aren't made for big games. Harden likes strippers and Instagram hoes. Gobert likes his men and bees. I hope not to see him on the floor in the 4th come the playoffs

Oh you'll see him. He has too good of a reputation and paid way too much to be benched. He definitely needs to be in for defensive possessions but it legitimately is smart to take him out for one off offensive sets if there is going to be a timeout after. Reid is a really good scorer and stretches the floor.

[Xiao Yao You]

What a road trip! Gave the Suns all they wanted to end it. Back to the comforts of home and maybe even their first practice with their new star studded all-star starting lineup. Going to need more from their bench going forward. An ineffective 3rd center taking the 3rd most shots doesn't help you for sure. Another pretty good defensive effort holding the loaded Suns under 110.

[Xiao Yao You]

All season long, the Wolves have had a simmering irritation with how the officials have called their games. On Wednesday, Gobert’s exasperation came out. Officials called 11 fouls in the first half and 29 in the second. When he was asked if the inconsistency of the foul calls made it hard to defend, Gobert — who had seven points and 15 rebounds — laid into the officiating all season as it pertained to the Timberwolves. “It’s not fair. It’s really not fair,” Gobert said. “Every night. I’ve been in this league for 10 years and I try to always give the benefit of the doubt, but it’s hard for me to think they’re not trying to help [the Suns] win tonight. (https://www.startribune.com/rudy-gobert-minnesota-timberwolves-phoenix-suns-chris-finch-officiating/600263043/) It’s hard for me to think they didn’t try to help the Warriors win the other night or Sacramento Kings the other night. It’s just so obvious. As a basketball player that’s been in this league for so long, it’s disrespectful.”

“We understand that we’re not the biggest of the markets and we’re a team that — I think you want to see KD [Kevin Durant] in the playoffs, Steph [Stephen Curry] in the playoffs, you want to see LeBron [James] in the playoffs. (https://www.startribune.com/rudy-gobert-minnesota-timberwolves-phoenix-suns-chris-finch-officiating/600263043/) [The] Timberwolves are not there yet. We got to keep putting our head down, keep playing through that and it’s frustrating for sure, especially for me.”

hope Rudy can cover his fine

[Manny98]

You're never going to win with your starting center only giving you 7 points along with 6 costly turnovers

Reid continuing to impress :applause:

[Kblaze8855]

Six turnovers? I missed that. I turned on the Mandalorian at halftime and ended up not going back to that game. That’s an awful lot of turnovers for somebody who doesn’t generally get the ball a lot.

[ArbitraryWater]

Gobert hat SIX turnovers?



:roll:

[Xiao Yao You]

Reid 5-13. Doesn't take much to impress a troll

[Manny98]

McDaniels on the Timberwolves is blossoming into one of the best defenders in the league, did a great job on KD last night

[Xiao Yao You]

nice that Rudy has some help. You notice Gobert guarding the perimeter and it's not a lay up line with another big in there instead of a 6'4 PF

[AirBonner]

Keys to wolves success are further limiting Gobert’s touches. Give Reid more minutes in the 4th

yeah get the guy in there that they are worse with on the floor than off. Makes logical sense

6 turnovers says get the ball out of his hands!

[Xiao Yao You]

Towns had 6. Anderson 5. Gobert averages 1.8 in 31 minutes a game. Reid 1.4 18 minutes a game. Try again troll. Better luck next time :roll:
