This series low key exposes all those former jazz players who used rudy as a scapegoat

Asking Grayson Allen to carry a team with KD, Booker and Beal

" They got KD but we got Jaden McDaniels " - AE

"Nurkic just stood there he wasn't even trying to defend" 😂

i remember when everyone said the timberwolves are the weakest top 3 seed in recent history LMAO

Stephen A 100% didn’t know that Grayson Allen turned his ankle and is out lol

That wolves defense is insane. So tenacious, athletic, and passionate. I don’t see any team beating them in the West except for Denver.

Stephen A looking like he runs casino in Las Vegas in 70s.

Everyone said the Wolves would be upset by Phoenix or the Lakers and I kept telling these guys that clearly don’t watch enough basketball that Minnesota is LEGIT and if anyone was on fraud alert it was OKC.

MN has great stars in Gobert, KAT, and Antman but I feel like the real reasons we snuck up on everybody is because Jaden McDaniels, Naz Reid, Nikiel Alexander-Walker, and Mike Conley are all SUPER underrated.

The Timberwolves defense is too tough for the Suns. Especially since we’re getting multiple days rest between every game

2 games without scoring 100+

The Wolves are the only real threat to the Nuggets, I can't even see the Celtics beating them cause they're soft.

If Edwards ever brings Minny a chip his legacy is already greater than KDs 😂

Durant: I will return to Oklahoma or Warriors

Hes right, theyre not the 04 Pistons, Wolves are better than that team.

Admittedly, I haven't watched a ton of Suns basketball. I watched the third quarter yesterday. My goodness...the Suns are awful. Like absolutely awful. They literally just play iso ball while every else just stands around and then play virtually no defense. There was one possession where Booker just held the ball without dribbling for about 20 seconds and all the other Suns literally stood at the perimeter and watched him. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

Stop bringing up KD. I need ya’ll to bring that same energy to Book because why do ya’ll keep forgetting about him?

There’s a very good reason WHY the Nuggets said the Wolves were the toughest matchup in last year on their way to the chip. That was WITHOUT Naz and McDaniels. Real hoopers know, Nuggets know. It’s between the Wolves and Nuggets in the West.

Deandre Ayton prolly thinking the Suns miss him dearly

Timberwolves have too many weapons that could explode at anytime on offence and defence

The wolves play old school physical playoff defense they look legit

Stephen A criticizing Nurkic and Grayson Allen of all people? 😂 Nurkic was carrying offensively and Allen got hurt early in the game. Criticizing Booker and Beal would make more sense

LMAO at the dude bringing up the Grizzlies series where Ant was a rookie and the Timberwolves team was totally different. And then he's talking about stuff the team did 20 years ago like it matters in this series.

Rudy had more points than ANT and KAT. Keep sleeping on the 4 times DPOY.

They always say this when a team go up 2-0. I'll concede when the series is over.

Watching Russo stumble all over trying to convince himself these are the same ol' Wolves was cringe AF.

Stephen A doesn’t know what’s going on with Grayson Allen… he got injured early in both games

It’s almost like Phoenix is in need of…leadership. Where have I heard that before with a KD lead team?

Loving the Cerulean Blue suit on SAS!

How mad dog said “Beal is always overrated” cracked me up😂🤣

Durant wants to join the T Wolves

real funny how last season everyone was making fun of the moves the Wolves made of season and look at the now

Grayson Allen has played like 3 quarters this series and he looked in major pain with that ankle. You can’t put the blame on him and attribute it to his lack of shot attempts

KD once again choking in the playoffs when does he never not choke without Steph curry 💀

Been preaching about the Twolves since ant went off in game 2 vs the nuggets last year. That second round match up between those two teams, barring injury, is for this years title.

The physicality of Rudy, and mentality of Ant is going to travel with the wolves. Don’t forget, the wolves haven’t even played their best ball especially on offense. Naz & Kat haven’t even got rolling yet 😭

Dude with the green tie hasn't watched a single Timberwolves game this season😂 trying to compare this year's team to the team 2 year's ago😂

Never compare Devin Choker to Kobe again. EVER.

"Bradley Beal is ovverated" Is the truest statement! They had a great team to build on in 2021 when they reached the finals and they traded it all away for a bunch of old guys who cant defend🤣

Where’s all those folks trashing Rudy Gobert the past few years? Where’s the guys saying he can’t guard the perimeter and would get “played off the court” by teams with smaller, quicker offenses? Turns out having other guys who play defense really does make a difference.

Imagine how angry and annoyed Stephen A Smith would be if he had to work a NBA Finals in Minnesota and Massachusetts in a Summer June? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Or Wisconsin-Minnesota NBA June Finals? Lmfaooooooo

Literally all these home teams did was defend there home court. The series is not over for anybody until a road team wins in my opinion. Im speaking for every series too. ESPN are overreacting

When the Sun goes down, the Wolves begin to howl...

I know this man didn’t say Grayson Allen when u have 3 all stars on 1 team

I'm starting to think that Tim Legler had something bad happening to him in 1990 when he played for Phoenix lol, the dude is always bitter when it comes to the Suns Haha

That balanced stat sheet is phenomenal. Playing like a team with all cylinders firing.

Frank Vogel is a terrible coach period. Why isn't Bol starting instead of Grayson Allen? If they're going to play big, the Suns have the personnel to counter that. Also if Devin Booker can't figure it out we do have Isiah Thomas. Thad Young, Bol, and Isiah Thomas could definitely help if the coach would play them. And if Ant and McDaniels are going off, we have Okogie and Little who are great defensive players. Vogel is just plain bad at making adjustments and won't utilize all the talent on this team...smh

There's still game 3 and 4 in Phoenix. I think the Suns can turned this series around.

Minnesota right now are making great adjustments... Rudy isn't as flat footed the way he used to be defensively... Minnesota's depth is showing great intensity, Naz Reid, Nickell Alexander-Walker, Monte Morris... Jaden McDaniels dropped 25 points, the scary part bout this game was that KAT and Ant didn't play that well, they were okay at best and McDaniels stepped up... Rudy stepped up... Conley stepped up.. the depth that everyone questioned about Phoenix at the beginning of the year was ultimately going to be a factor for Phoenix's rise/downfall.. Now I am not naive... I've seen Minnesota fail and lose due to their inconsistencies and blow a series they should've won, like Russo said, (and as a fan of this team, Saint Paul represent) We need to see them do it on the road which is possible due to the fact that they are tied with the best road record in the West (Alongside the Clippers) 26-15... if they can steal one from Phoenix at home, then I have full confidence to say that Minnesota will win this series... because as I learned, nothing is more dangerous in these playoffs than a team that can win on the road.

Where are all the KD’s the best player in the world fanboys????? He never was just went to a 73-1 team and has had multiple star studded teams that always underperformed…💯💯💯🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Grayson gone that was they only hope. Sweep coming

Wolves may just come out of the west. If they beat Denver it's a wrap!

Timberwolves were definitely worthy of the #1 seed. Its so obviously that the best team in the west is between the Twolves and the Nuggets, not OKC

Mad dog.. This ain't the same Twolves team 2 years ago when Dlo, Malik Beasley, Jarred Vandy and Pat Bev ...

What he talking about the Wolves from 2years ago. This is a different Wolves. That was KAT's team, this is Antman and Gobert's team.

These analysts are so bias, Stephen a lakers losing “it’s over, suns losing we don’t want to say it’s over”

Get Bol Bol some minutes

It's not a series until the home team loses. I'm a Wolves fan and I know with 20 years of nothing, we can never count anything out. Always gotta look at worst possible outcomes 😆

The difference is team cohesion. Timberwolves have played together for most of the season with their core. Suns have played together in parts of the season with their core: with guys in and out of the lineup more frequently.

Weird, LeGoat gets criticism for losing the champions while having a bench that’s scored 17 points in TWO WHOLE PLAYOFF GAMES, a “superstar” that goes scoreless in the fourth quarter and has worse cardio than Jokic (who has man jugs), shooters that can’t hit a shot. Kevin Cupcake Durant is being blown out by a rookie while having another bonafide superstar in Booker and a star in Beal. Nobody’s saying a word? Durant is a zero ring player with no leadership so people don’t criticize him?

Unfortunately the Suns cannot beat the Timberwolves.

As a Minnesota fan I feel like this is the second coming of Jordan and Pippen with Edwards and Mcdaniels on the floor together.. and they could be the reason this franchise changes forever just like what Jordan and pippen did for Chicago.. Minnesota always been a mini Chicago..

Every year... "The series is over" Every time a team wins 2 games or wins convincingly.

Phoenix’s style might work against other teams but not the Timberwolves. The Wolves have an identity and execute it very well. Phoenix don’t really have an identity and that’s the fault of their coaching.

The suns have no answers they are finished.. you can’t have three ball dominant ball players playing iso ball

Stephen A said the same thing in 2019 when Milwaukee was up 2-0 against Toronto and then Toronto won 4 straight. Then Stephen A said he was an idiot.

that wolves team from 2 years ago was a completely different team 😭

The Timberwolves have potential to be the next Denver nuggets,

Mad Dog 😂.... "take it easy"

“Suns got kd we got Jayden mcdaniels” is aging like fine wine right now

I always go back to, when people talked about gobert being gameplanned off the court in the playoffs. But yet, no one speaks on the playoff gameplan that this defense has the capability to do. Interesting to see how suns respond in game 2. But outside of the 0-3 to phx in the reg season, this wolves team has been ridiculously consistent on defensive effort. Naw, McDaniels, and Ant are a three headed monster where 2 out of 3 are always on the court shutting down everything and anything on the wings. This is a historic defense in my eyes, I havent seen this much effort and chaos consistently in a team for a very long time.

Kevin durant is soo protected in the media its embarrassing

Doggy said booker trying to hard and Beal is always overrated 🔥🔥🔥😂

Nuggets Wolves and Celtics are the 3 contenders for the championship this year. Thunder also have a case

Timberwolves are making a statement with their defense

If you watched both suns games. You can tell KD isn’t comfortable when Ant guards him. It’s the weirdest thing man smh. Like he’s intimated, it’s very strange

Yes this series is over the lakers might get swept but they’re putting up some fight the Suns are getting blown out showing no fight whatsoever and Grayson Allen has been awful since he signed that contract

Respectfully, if you aren’t Minnesota born and raised, you are no fan of the Timberwolves. To all of my fellow Minnesotans who have lived and died with the tumultuous teams of our past though, I salute any one of y’all who never faltered with your fandom 🙏🏼

Bro them boys nees to put Bol Bol in to pull them bigs away from the basket

Stephen A and WIlbon called MJ to take that 23andme 😂😂😂

I thought KD WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THAT DUDE

That suit, LMAO 🤣

if u watch the game, wolves have movement and set plays to get their players going. The suns doesn’t have a playmaker, booker or beal brings the ball then just bully their way inside without passing or ball movement. They need a point guard so bad. Wolves just playing beautiful ball

SAS looking fly there 💧

KD reputation is gonna mimic the 08 financial crisis.

Funny how just about a week ago everyone took the suns and talked about them being the worst possible matchup for Minnesota. Huge props to the coaching staff and players as they lead 2-0 deservingly but it's far far from being over in my opinion and the suns will be back eventually. Sticking to the t-wolves in 7 though🐺

Yes, I think it’s over, too. Beal, Booker, and Durant to seem to quite have enough “togetherness” or firepower to overcome the Wolves. Minnesota just seems like they want it more.

The Suns need a bus driver like Ant, not 3 bus riders.

Mad Dog never fails to expose himself as a basketball CASUAL

Wolves have Jaden, NAW, ANT and Rudy. This defense is legit.

Thanks mad dog

It was over before it started.

This might be a really weird question but does anyone know when the majority of series end like what game?

It might be over already, but Phoenix better fix it quickly, sidenote: SAS, That Baby Blue Suit 🥶😎😏

They may have no history but they are making history now. The defense has been phenomenal and so many players are scoring. What a fantastic season and post season so far

It's a TOTAL WRAP 🌯 and yesss KD's legacy should be affected and also Booker needs to be taking allot of heat for this too

If you have to take a pick between SA, Dog and Legs...take Legs every time.

This is how a real staff look without Malika Andrews I love it fellows keep it up😊

I don’t know who owns the Timberwolves anymore, but Jaden McDaniels owns Devin Booker.
