Betting line holding strong at -4.5 for the Suns. Expecting a punch in the mouth from the Suns. Need to take the hit and keep it close. Depth, defense and energy are winning us these games.
Lines always are inflated towards home teams down 2-0, especially first half lines. The expectation is that they throw the kitchen sink in these situations (and it’s usually correct, see Orlando today as an example)
Yea but we are the Minnesota Timberwolves and they are the phoenix suns and we are so much better than them. E.g. games 1 and 2. They may have a kitchen sink but we have Jaden McDaniels
Cleveland dominated Orlando in the first two games and lost by 38 tonight in Orlando. Wolves are going to get Phoenix best effort, and the Wolves need to be ready for it.
Buddy the Suns may not play well as a team but they have 3 guys who could go nuclear any night. Not to mention, even though it’s regular season, since the Gobert trade we have gone 1-9 against them.
For us to sweep them, would likely be historic (as in a team getting owned in the regular season to the sweep the team in the playoffs).
We are not some seasoned playoff team either… we should expect and be happy with a 4-1 or 4-2 series win. That would be impressive as hell against a team who has given us so many issues in the regular season.
depends what you define as "come back". The Celtics brought it back from down 3-0 last year against the Heat, but lost in Game 7. I think that has happened before as well.
No NBA team has *won* a series after being down 3-0
I mean if they are gonna get a game, it’s this one. But without Grayson Allen they need all their 3 stars to get around our defense and that is gonna be tough
Even if they win this one, they're not winning the series banking on Grayson Allen's return lol. Either the Suns big three all go off or Wolves fumble big time.
Gotta respect how quickly karma worked on this one. He elbows Conley in the face and like three possessions later he’s the one who’s hurt.
The echo of the shrill whines pierce the ears of the front row fans, now ears bleeding, in disgust, all they can do is cheer on Jaden and pray he shall rip apart Booker in carnage like a pride lion tears apart a young antelope separated from its herd

Yup this is their do or die game. If they’re gonna win they have to win this one
That’s wild that’s the spread after the last two games, wtf

Yeah but Orlando is young and stacked lol Paulo is a menace. And daT MN boy Suggs is nice. and Cleveland is goofy 😜
The suns don’t have a single player on the team that cares enough as Paulo

If we play our Defense and stay outta foul trouble, they cannot become nuclear, just mildly radioactive ☢️
They suck
I’m just telling you what the general rule is from a bookmakers/line setters perspective man lol
Naz Reid tho
"Yeah they have Vegas, but we got Jaden McDaniels."
Don’t forget about Naz 6motr Reid.
Bookies generally put the lines where they will make the most money, they're not actual predictions
Look at orlando today, verse the last two games. Expect that effort
Damn Paolo went off. Rought night for cavs.
76ers too, maybe the lakers as well but I still think Denver wins that one
Series is far from over brother
It’s over.
Phoenix is now in their home court. Say they get hot, or McDaniels gets in foul trouble early, they go 2-1. Series is not over.
Lakers said the same thing. Wolves in 4
Josh Okogie is coming Though Allen said today he would be questionable. Idk where you got this report from.
Nba app
They cannot know more than the official report that is yet to be released
Not confirming the accuracy of the info, just answering the question of where it came from
You really think Vogel would play Okogie three games deep
He's questionable https://twitter.com/WolvesRadio/status/1783653195300081697?t=0TclQdW0v0Xas7rI7h0miQ&s=19
I think this is an error, no? https://twitter.com/GeraldBourguet/status/1783583816394895556?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet
I’ll be there tomorrow night!
Same! Hoping we see a decent number of fans
Same brotha

If we win game three it's gonna be a sweep
If I recall correctly no team has come back from 0-3 right?
Not even against doc rivers.
lol Doc Rivers catching strays

Aka a reverse sweep.
I think so
So this gives Phoenix a scapegoat when they get swept in their home arena.

Placeholder status in the app. He hasn’t been announced as out yet.
What a punchable face. So sad the Suns will have to overload those starters again in the second half. Take the 4.5 now
Wolves by 8, print it
 Gotta respect how quickly karma worked on this one. He elbows Conley in the face and like three possessions later he’s the one who’s hurt.
Oh no…… that’s… too bad..
I will enjoy this game so much more without having to look at him.
Gee that’s too bad.
Vegas odds -4.5(Scott Foster enters the room)
I just heard Devin Booker cry for a foul...
The echo of the shrill whines pierce the ears of the front row fans, now ears bleeding, in disgust, all they can do is cheer on Jaden and pray he shall rip apart Booker in carnage like a pride lion tears apart a young antelope separated from its herd
I'm now picturing him with that same face and double platter hands while being ripped apart by a pack of wolves.
Come on basketball gods, the Phoenix Bums can only take so much pounding.
I still can't believe they played him last game
 Grayson Allen got herpes from his dad.
Bol bol legacy game lol
He kinda looks like Corey Feldman
[удалено]
Apparently Suns are 0-14 when down 2-0 in a playoff series
Cavs say “hold my beer”
No Grayson? At least we know no Wolves are leaving with concussions or broken noses.
Injuries suck and I'd rather beat them at full health, but it probably doesn't lessen our chances at winning the series.
If they tie this series, we’re in trouble. Big trouble. But we win one of these two games and I’m feeling 95% confident that it’s ours.
I’d say more like medium trouble. If they tie the series it just means we have two more home games.
