This series low key exposes all those former jazz players who used rudy as a scapegoat
No it doesn’t.
@@aubhreypender3091Yes it does.😢
@@aubhreypender3091yes it does, those jazz team had talented players and never did anything, Minnesota was slept on all season
Facts because Rudy is definitely making his mark. No player is perfect in this league. You're going to get scored on, out rebounded, and out hustled. But it's how you react and respond to these things, and Rudy has responded well in both games.
@@redskinsftw they desire than Minnesota thus far lol. Made it to the second round. And they didn’t have the level of talent minnesota has.
Asking Grayson Allen to carry a team with KD, Booker and Beal

No one said anything about carrying but 5 shots over two games when you were leading the league in 3pt % is very sad.

"Nurkic just stood there he wasn't even trying to defend" 😂
Dude has to defend two different bigs feel I bad for bro lol nobody but Nurkic cab do it no one can help a brother out.
They wanted to contain ANT so he ALWAYS had to shadow ANT while guarding the other bigs. This was the reason Jaden was able to attack - he had barely any attention relative to other players.

Yeah that made no sense to me it was just lazy fans who don’t watch games. The top 3 in the west are all championship caliber teams this year.
Stephen A 100% didn’t know that Grayson Allen turned his ankle and is out lol
He don't watch games,, he looks at the box score
Only difference Grayson Allen makes is being a white Draymond Green
Before the injury he still was 🧱 laying...
im surprised he played game two, and then re injured the same ankle pretty badly. i dont think he makes it back on the court for the series.
@@deezpleez3832 Do you know his 3pt %, clearly you don't.
That wolves defense is insane. So tenacious, athletic, and passionate. I don’t see any team beating them in the West except for Denver.

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.
MN is totally STACKED.
Hundy-p
The Timberwolves defense is too tough for the Suns. Especially since we’re getting multiple days rest between every game
3 games is too much in my opinion
The wolves fans were saying the opposite after they swept them in the regular season. I would say that the series is not over and the wolves fans should calm down a little bit.
@@fabriziotrocchia2302 3 days? it only is 3 day break between games when they have to travel to the opposing team state.
@@kissband100most twolves fans feared the suns because the suns prevented their style of play.
In these two games, not only have the Suns not been able to prevent their style of play, they have been *DESTROYED* by it. Once wolves fans saw that, the confidence skyrocketed because this is what they have seen from the team all season long.
@@cronoesify Wolves have the best defense in the league, I understand the hype after winning 2 games but it's still early to celebrate! Their defense was destroyed 3 games with double digits before, I'm not counting the suns out yet.
2 games without scoring 100+
The Suns only missed 100 points 5 times during the regular season.
@@michaelrodriguez2784do you see the refs in the game lmaoo 😊
That’s coaching
@@Jaywon977playoff basketball is always more physical and lower scoring. They let them play more… as they should.
But KD is the best scorer of all time 😂
The Wolves are the only real threat to the Nuggets, I can't even see the Celtics beating them cause they're soft.
If Minnesota is allowed to play physical defense, I don’t see anyone beating them. All depends on how the refs let them play
@@nydibsnuggets definitely could jokic is unguardable and he’s a unicorn Jamal Murray is clutch asf and MPJ gives the wolves issue that’s a 6 or 7 game series in round 2

@@hooligan5381ok and your point shi still funny😭
@@johnnybuchananjr9344 you 12 bro?
Well with KD neither would surprise me.. he has to run to proven winning teams, cause he is gutless as a leader. but I do not think OKC will give up much for him, they have already played his game.. the warriors, really what do they have to trade for him? old Klay,, Old Draymond? and he would have to take a major pay cut to go back to the warriors.
Hes right, theyre not the 04 Pistons, Wolves are better than that team.
Way better
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.
They don't have a point guard! This was known before the season started. Plus, the coaching is bogus.
@@melvinhhcp3615I l live in Phoenix when in not working in NYC been to a few games and they need a point guard so badly I don't know if the can get one during the off season but having beal book and KD bring the ball up the floor is not good basketball at all this team currently put together is atrocious
@@darrylhenry3188 They would have been better off keeping CP3... really Ayton also. Then add Nurkic. The Beal move was a bad idea.
@@melvinhhcp3615 I was thinking the same thing especially with the roster they have now having CP would be good because he could set everyone up
@@darrylhenry3188 I agree
Stop bringing up KD. I need ya’ll to bring that same energy to Book because why do ya’ll keep forgetting about him?
And no one is saying a word about Beal
The fact that only KD is being brought up is an insult to book and Beal …. Cause they expect more from him … he’s at all time great expectations and the other two ain’t there yet
Because KD is always the soft target.
Because KD is supposed to be the best player in the team and a top 8 player
Right! KD is 35 YEARS OLD! What they want from him?
Deandre Ayton prolly thinking the Suns miss him dearly
I doubt it
They do they did better with him 🤣
Aytons a bust i doubt it
Cuh was out there doin cardio bro wym
@@aldairet4406he ain’t no bust put him on the right team in the right situation. You put him on the warriors, knicks, it’s couple other teams too
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.
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
Rudy had more points than ANT and KAT. Keep sleeping on the 4 times DPOY.
The funny thing is it won't happen anytime soon. It's either KAT and ANT will both have great games or one of each will have. Suns had a bad time beating this MIN.
@@carlpatrickragas2159 they should because they take double the shots Rudy gets 🤷 that's the point. Rudy avgs like 8 FGA.
They always say this when a team go up 2-0. I'll concede when the series is over.
Suns are 0 and 14 when down 0-2 in a playoff series. It might be over. They've been held under 100 points both games, Grayson will probably be out Friday. The coaching is bad, the Suns are truly outmatched. Wolves best players had less than 20 and the wolves still won. Suns will probably win on Friday because of all the emotions and everything that crowd will bring during that game, but I honestly see the wolves winning game 4 and ending it game 5 in MN.
Coooope
@@Jevonechyonly issue with that stat was that each of those teams were different. I hate when they say 0-14 when down 0-2. Doesn’t make sense to me.
It’s less that they are down 0-2 and more about how they’ve performed up to this point… they have shown very little resistance and absolutely zero heart… the series is definitely not over… but they don’t look like they want to win… and if Allen can’t play, it’s going to be that much tougher to defend their home court.
@@daviduhr4941 agreed, as long as these media heads stop talking about past records as if it involves this team
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.
Mad dog is trash. Very boomerish sports opinions.
yeah, it's weird. literally irrelevant to this series.
Stephen A doesn’t know what’s going on with Grayson Allen… he got injured early in both games
Clueless analysts as always. Suns only crumbled when grayson went down again. They were pushing a 10 point lead up when he was playing. But they don’t mention that
@@Lilhayes12he scored 3 points and 3 rebounds in 17 minutes. He was a no show as usual
Grayson Allen was a no show in both games before he got hurt🤣
@@Lilhayes12Imagine thinking you need Grayson Allen to carry you with KD, Booker, and Beal on your team.
@@Cpg443 It’s not about stats on paper, it’s no coincidence once he got in the game they go up 10+ and once he gets hurt they start to fold. Is a team sport, ten guys 1 ball. Theres more ways to effect the game besides the common stats on paper.
Watching Russo stumble all over trying to convince himself these are the same ol' Wolves was cringe AF.
Right! Like yeah teams don't evolve or get better. They stay the same Smh
Especially the comment about how he said they blew the series to Memphis a few seasons ago and they definitely should have won that. Like bruh they were the 7th seed, they pretty much lost that series before it started 😂
@@paulrietveld9837Nah they blew that being real if you watched the games. Terrible game management.
@@paulrietveld9837 he wasnt wrong though, we definitely should have won that series in real time, if we didnt collapse every game.

It’s almost like Phoenix is in need of…leadership. Where have I heard that before with a KD lead team?
He has a big 3 is down 0-2 . It’s always crickets from the media when it comes to KD!
@@GwaniegwanI hate it when people used to think that GSW was KDs team not Steph's. Stfu. KD ain't a leader.
How mad dog said “Beal is always overrated” cracked me up😂🤣
He ain’t wrong
Durant wants to join the T Wolves
He literally said that he likes the area and likes boating on lakes.
real funny how last season everyone was making fun of the moves the Wolves made of season and look at the now
im about ready to give utah 2 more first rounders for free
KD once again choking in the playoffs when does he never not choke without Steph curry 💀
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
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.
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😂
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 😭
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
Why do you say that?

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
Usually I agree, and I’m a wolves fan so take it with a grain of salt. But it’s not about being 0-2. It’s about how bad suns look and cany adjust more than anything
Yep and the wolves are taking at least one game in Phx
Yeah if you’ve been a fan a long time you know quick things can change 😄 they just need something to talk about
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
Without a PG to conduct the team and having 3 guys who all NEED to have the ball, you need a reliable outlet or setup guy… Allen has been that guy all year. And a team that already has no bench having to replace a starter makes that impossibly thin bench even more feeble.
@@daviduhr4941 I thought book was the point guard he usually set up the offense up. KD is great without the ball in his hand he really doesn’t need it. I’m not saying the role players doesn’t have to show up, but the 3 all stars not.
@@loronzathomas5393 book is playing PG but he’s a SG by position. He’s playing out of position which is why he’s not very good at facilitating for the team. This is why you hear just about every pundit point out that they seem like a headless snake. I get it, too… bc the wolves looked positively lost as a team until we got Mike Conley. DLo was killing us. We needed an unselfish veteran to calm things down and run the show. The suns would have been smart to keep CP3
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.
absolutely, they have to find their offense again tryna run a half court set against a team with two 7 footers is tough to do they have to get into their offense quicker
How when offense with no defense has never won anything in this league
Nah The Wolves are taking one of their home games maybe even a sweep. Chris Finch is a really good coach Vogel is okay at best. Finchy didn’t put guys in the best position to succeed he challenged his guys to get better at things they are uncomfortable at!
The Wolves absolutely bullied them both games. Even when Ant and KAT both had mid games last night. The Timberwolves won by double digits. Timberwolves are too big, too deep, and play suffocating defense. I can see KD or Book going nuclear one game and winning maybe a game. But the Suns do not know how to play together as a team. This series is over
Love the optimism, but respectfully the series is over. The Suns will probably get a win or 2, but that's about it
Wolves may just come out of the west. If they beat Denver it's a wrap!
that is a big If
The Wolves are the only team that can compete with Denver
Denver will punish them but theres a chance 😅
@@deezpleez3832 Clippers say hello (I would have said Suns too but it's either them or the Wolves that will lose in the 1st round so yeah)
@@wingamwila4113 Wolves have Naz Reid and McDaniels this time around. Last year Denver faced MN without those two. Wolves vs Nuggets would go to 7 games
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…💯💯💯🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Facts he had the most wide open shots of any finals MVP besides maybe Iggy and he looked good due to Steph drawing the most attention from the defense he ain't look the same before or after
Grayson gone that was they only hope. Sweep coming
Facts Allen is the only one that could pull my Timbwolves defenders attention away from Beal and Booker hope the ankle isn't serious.
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.
And let's not forget about the maturity of Ant. He wasn't getting shots to fall but he was making good decisions with the basketball. He wasn't forcing shots or constantly turning the ball over. He led the team in assists and the team (and us in the crowd) were feeding off the energy he was bringing.
Imagine when we get to see the Naz Reid explosion incoming. It has to be inevitable. right? Any given night with these players. Man its insane, and the defense is just relentless in its pursuit. I dont think i have ever seen a team truly, with 3 legitimate all nba defense quality on the wings, being able to play on the court together. And then Rudy as the anchor, and Kat and Naz improving on that end, mainly due to effort and team cohesion and identity. I feel like a proud parent, when at the beginning of the season, very early on, i was like, this defense is gonna be a problem in May.
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”
Boo hoo
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?
Whose the rookie?
Legoat > Kdisney. That’s not even a debate tho. Compare resumes and it’s not even close.
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 😆
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..
Unfortunately the Suns cannot beat the Timberwolves.
Lmao what ? So before these games .. you do know the suns won 7 straight right lmao
@Jaywon977 your comment would be relevant if they still had the streak, which the Timberwolves STOPPED .. KD is my fav player, I'm stating facts. Do you not watch basketball or just oblivious to what's in plain sight ?
@@Jaywon977if you’re referring to last season, aren’t there only 3 players from that team and a new coaching staff
*Fortunately
@nikhiltrivedi8126 🤣🤣 Antman is the new face of the league so I'm happy for him. Or will be the new face.
Get Bol Bol some minutes
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.
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.
Agreed! Bad coaching. No point guard. No backup center. Weak bench. All of these factors matter. It's a miracle that the Suns won the 6th seed, given Booker & Beal missed a combined 40 games or so.
Or failure of players to buy in and play D.

@@Jaywon977 truth comes out in the PO’s. One of those reg season games the wolves were on the 2nd of a back to back.

that wolves team from 2 years ago was a completely different team 😭
The Timberwolves have potential to be the next Denver nuggets,
Idk about that one they got potential to win a chip tho
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
I was finna say this. They just slaughtered LeBron yesterday, KD stay getting beaucoup passes.

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
Cuz any is baby Jordan
did you actually watch the game.. he scored on Ant multiple times in both games. Ant not his assignment either durant a forward tryna defend a guard was never his strong point don't sound like a hater
KD is scared when Ant is on him.. maybe even pee peeing himself
Ya and of course KD will score he’s one of the best ever at it but he is crapping his pants from Ant
@@silvergold2140 Ant is not a better basketball player than KD yet. KD has been guarded by better defenders than Ant. Ant hasnt made an All Defensive team yet. Ant doesn’t scare any lethal shooter/scorer defensively, he scares them offensively despite being a two way player. And I think Ant is the best shooting guard in the NBA and a top 5 overall guard with Curry, Luka, Dame and Shai in no order.
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
He got hurt last night
@@tparris74 he twisted his ankle last night and might be out for the series
He just signed like a week ago 😂

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 🙏🏼
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
I thought KD WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THAT DUDE
He was never that dude. Great scorer but he can't carry a team like Step and LeBron. If he can't get a chip outside GS, that's all his career will be about his time on that team. Lol
How isn’t he ? Lmao he in year 17 averaging 27 on 50-40-90… while being the best scorer and best defender on the team .. bro literally guarding the center or the best player every game and his getting the best defender put on him ..let’s be fr
I THOUGHT YOU SUPPOSE BEEN THAT DUDE TOO
Stephen A and WIlbon called MJ to take that 23andme 😂😂😂
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🐺

KD reputation is gonna mimic the 08 financial crisis.
BS
Mad Dog never fails to expose himself as a basketball CASUAL
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.
No. They need a legit coach, point guard, back center, and bench.
BS
That suit, LMAO 🤣
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
I don’t know who owns the Timberwolves anymore, but Jaden McDaniels owns Devin Booker.
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😊
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
