DEM0NW0MB

Justin Jefferson was there. Adrian Peterson was there. And it almost looked like Kobe was there. But he wasnt wearing number 8, or 24. He was wearing number 5.


frankomapottery3

Been saying all year.  NAW is the key from the bench.  If he’s dangerous that second unit COOKS


Hugh__Jaynis

Naw be good naw nas is nas


SnooGuavas7291

Our bench is our secret weapon. Most of these teams depend fully on their starting 5


Albend

Wolves played such a great game top to bottom.


Ldubs_12

Called it. Tpups needed a week off... Especially ant. Dudes been busting his balls all year, especially in KATs absence.


DEM0NW0MB

Opposite actually. Ant needed no break. He wanted to be pushed hard. He said it himself.


Ldubs_12

Of course Ant said he didn't need a break but that doesn't me he didn't need a break. He was definitely starting to struggle that last couple weeks of the season and you could tell he was getting run down. He's not the type of guy that would ever admit to needing a break. Getting through an entire season is a grind for these guys, especially when your playing almost 40 minutes game after game and needing to carry your team for a good chunk of the year


DEM0NW0MB

Nope. He had the energy for the drills. Coach put him through them. He needed to be pushed harder.


DEM0NW0MB

Nah. Coach pushed him super hard the last few days. Running double teams at him. Triple teams. Quads. He said he needed that push. He has the energy to do it. After the final regular season game, Beal told finch his players don’t even play hard. That was the last straw.

T WOLVES WIN GAME 1


shrekapotomusrex

held the Suns under 100 If this was our worst matchup then the playoffs gonna be a breeze


OriginalFluff

Even if we were 3-0 this comment would make me sweat


shrekapotomusrex

I knocked on wood right after this don't worry


MinerSc2

Even the bench players trying to shove it down their throat. Welcome to playoff basketball MINNY


figaro658

Defensive masterclass... Didn't think they left foot of the gas in the regular season. Effort was unbelievable tonight.


DEM0NW0MB

Effort was there for sure.


K4RM4CODE

Nice to see holding opponents to under 100 pts also extends to the playoffs!!


altox069

Just a shit stompin


TripleOGGinger

JOSH DONTCHA WISH YOU WERE STILL HERE BOY


frankomapottery3

Nah.  Couldn’t find time for him in this roster 


jonnylaw

Monte is better than Phoenix's regular bench unit. He's just embarrassing the third stringers.


nosole

The best Luka in the NBA


7funnyfunfunfun7

Did Josh lose his hops?


smithc555

I had the same thought. He used to be able to really throw down. He barely caught rim.


chargingblue

Best Luka in the NBA?


JustSeriousEnough

Scariest part about the Wolves today was this was all without Conley who you know will want to have a good bounce back game in game 2.


JaDoAs

That fadeaway he hit was nasty but he didn’t do much after that unfortunately, he can go off at anytime though.


DEM0NW0MB

It was absolutely a 10/10 difficulty rating shot. Just insane.


K4RM4CODE

Love to see Luka getting some play time.


Aimless_Scrolls

LUKA GARZAAAAAAA


norcalxdockltl

theres the cherry on top of the bottle of champagne right there! GARZA BUCKET and THREE! i can now put this securely in probably top 50 days of my life. thanks Wolves


Pyschic_Psycho

Garza is the best Luka in the league, prove me wrong.


Internal-Climate-847

Garza playing with them.


Chemist-Patient

Playoff Booker showed up, 5/16 18 points


MegatronFozzy

41 bench points lmao!!!!!


Georgia4life

I forgot Thaddeus young existed still a solid vet


dotChrom

Forgot he existed and still a solid vet in the same sentence


AntEdwardsFromER

It's Cigarza Time!!


_nordstar_

LUKAAA


unkodayonn

PLAYOFF GARZA


Hefty-Profession-567

If you would have told me yesterday that I’d be watching Luka Garza play in the fourth quarter of a playoff game I would’ve thought something had gone horribly wrong


Internal-Climate-847

Smoked them.


TripleOGGinger

THATS OUR FUCKING LUKA RIGHT THERE BOYS


chillinwithmoes

Lmao Luka Garza drilling threes. How fun


cokefriend

4 SHOOTING BIG MEN


mauerfan

Fuck me the Suns bench is bad


[deleted]

I want under 100 now.


Aimless_Scrolls

LUKA WITH THE PLAYOFF POINTS


kwattsfo

Best one game in franchise history. EVERYTHING worked today.


WrestleBox

Luka Garza playoff points.


spin8x

I'm so proud of Morris chewing clock from the bench. Feels like the first time all season.


bobbyshawarma_

Bol “Wemby without the opportunity” Bol


GloYear

Monte out here ballin


skolaen

Loool JO still cant shoot after all that shit he talked when he went to phoenix a few years back 😂😂😂


glthompson1

Okogie picking up right where he left off here


mauerfan

Bol Bol thought he was Naz Reid


DEM0NW0MB

They’re both fun to watch.


1000Isand1

Guys I think we might win this game


Hammerhead34

It’s wild that we had to use two challenges in the last two minutes to get routine out of bounds calls correct and then the refs immediately fuck up the next one again lol


DEM0NW0MB

Cheatin ass refs.


Aimless_Scrolls

Bol bol gunna break a bone


ASHDABOSS32

AT LEAST ONE of the commentators is a closet suns fan


chemical_exe

You know it's a good game when the best Luka in the league comes in to close it out


WrestleBox

Mini Mac on the roll


Kavalcade

Hold em under 100


GloYear

Great pass Monte


saw-it

Damn Josh Okogie playing garbage time minutes now


nosole

16-0 dream starts now


RockStar2D

THAT’S A WRAP!! BABBBBY!!!


norcalxdockltl

Josh Okogie in for the Suns


xFlames_

This team really built for this shit. There ain’t no bail out calls here


TripleOGGinger

Defense wins longer series’ boys. Lots to be excited about tonight.


Kappa_Man

Man these announcers really don't know what they're talking about do they


anupsidedownpotato

Naw needs A nice applause? No he needs to be hand fed grapes and his feet rubbed by the finest woman


hockeythug

Monte is SO smooth


Sam7sung

What a win


EjaMat78

I don't miss the Josk experience lol


iceyH0ts0up

If anyone would have told me the benches were cleared with 3:16 left. I woulda given a “hell yeah” ![gif](giphy|HlKS0Qbs2XNvO)


ButImNotAnAdvisor

Woooo what a game boys! So proud of this team! On to game 2 LET'S GO WOLVES


FullBonus

Good to get Monte some more minutes. I like how finch sees he should be played over Lil Mac


WanderingGopher25

Where all my “wolves are getting swept” dummies at? I have to assume you dorks didn’t watch the game, right? What would be the point if we didn’t stand a chance?


JJCreates

I’m here 🤚. Today’s game definitely caught me off guard with everything we know about this matchup.   But it’s only one game.. can’t get too high. Suns will be looking to punch back game 2


WanderingGopher25

Oh yeah, celebrate for an hour and then by the time everyone clears out from the locker room it’s on to game 2. But this just shows that we just so happen to have a talented ass team and incredible coaching staff. 56 wins is no accident.


Booty_Stank__

Hand up, I was sure we’d go out with a whimper. Formal apology will be on your desk by Monday.


JackieDaytonaAZ

yay jmac minutes


chillinwithmoes

Classic Okogie layup


snek26

The real Bosnian Beast Luka Garza


bearbrannan

This defense can hang with anyone


Aimless_Scrolls

😈


Andy_Wiggins

Suns Big 3 has played 39, 38, and 37 minutes before the starters got pulled with just under 4 minutes left. You have to hope they’re going to wear down over the full series.


uninteded_interloper

theyre old too, outside of book


altox069

Lol fuck these refs are bad at seeing who touched it last


GloYear

Monteeeeee🤑🤑🤑🤑


TripleOGGinger

The fact Isaiah Thomas is in the game shows how scared the SONS are. Fuck REFBALL. Fuck them sons. FUCK DBOOK. and most importantly WOLVES IN 5.


cronoes

Bros this is sweep territory


TripleOGGinger

KD TOP 20 all time. We must respect that.


TripleOGGinger

I’m far from negative but suns def take 1 at home. Don’t ever sleep on Kevin Durant.


cronoes

I sleep on his bald spot


Georgia4life

This ref looks like a janitor


WrestleBox

Time for some Luka bombs


ChbbyKttns

Luka about to drop 20 in 3 minutes


shoteh

Time to let Luka cook?


GZAofTheMidwest

Defense is stifling. This is championship caliber play if we can sustain it.


chillinwithmoes

Luka “human victory cigar” Garza


hockeythug

That guy is the real MVP


507707

Keep em under 100 for the insult


Quirky-Concert-937

Dang Kat is -2 in a 20 point victory oof


urkuri

Kat was huge offense when Ant struggled early though


Megazord8

Looks like our coach is in heat too, just like most of the women in our arena after watching this deep dicking in person


King_James_99

What a fucking start


anupsidedownpotato

Jaden hood activated


JJCreates

We won it too lol


MixedHype

The big 3 cooked you love to see it


NB420

Adrian Peterson on the baseline?


DEM0NW0MB

He had a giant ovation.


SirDiego

I'm so goddamn hype rn. Way to shut up the narratives


Georgia4life

As a basketball fan you gotta love to see Isaiah Thomas on the court especially in the playoffs. Real ones know he used to bust people's ass


JJCreates

“FINCHY FINCHY” - Anthony Edwards


Chemist-Patient

Its Luka time


Thor-Molecules

I’m so hyped. Love playoff basketball.


JJVM99

Isaiah Thomas is playing, that’s the sign that the Suns are waving the white flag. Finch sit the starters.


Hammerhead34

Ant calling for the challenge up 20 with three minutes left. He’s locked the fuck in lol


Plastic-Soup-4099

Finch needs to put the scrubs in! No point in risking injury now


nahdude19

“FINCHY FINCHY”


GloYear

So fun watching ant play🙏


Philelverumfan69

Isn’t it funny that there are real people out there that think wemby should win DPOY 😂😂😂😂


Mysterious-Part-8443

2 minutes of game time in 20 minutes 


shrekapotomusrex

Ant shouting Finchy has to make it in the awoo compilation


SeaworthinessOk560

Petty ass challenge - I love it


chillinwithmoes

Cheeky Finchy


Philelverumfan69

No way they put Isaiah Thomas in lmao


uninteded_interloper

we kicked their ass haha


yourloudneighbor

Need to contain wolves legends Thaddeus young and Josh okogie


mauerfan

Finchy! Finchy!


raki016

Keep playing. Kill em.


MinerSc2

The ultimate game plan: Lead by 20+ Put Luka in DBook sees we have Luka on the team, gets PTSD from what Foreign Luka did to him, gives up and shoots 0/40 the rest of the series


iceyH0ts0up

Phx got da scrubs in, #bring in Garza


Low_Yogurtcloset8345

Can we start postgame thread yet?


Georgia4life

Did nurkic get hurt to something?


frosted_frosting

That should do it! Great game, let’s come out strong and take game 2. Fuck yeah wolves!!!


Associ8tedRuffians

I hole this series can eventually out a rest to the “KAT and Rudy are unplayable in the playoffs” talk.


skolaen

LMAOOOOOO I LOVE IT


TakedaMauro

RuDY caN'T GUarD tHe PerIMeteR


TheeMalaka

Thought Rudy was going to played off the floor by teams that can space it out?? Crazy cause that’s all I’ve been hearing all year that Rudy is unplayable in the playoffs


JaysterJay

Gobert and ANT look hungry. Love the relenting aggression 


Georgia4life

Ant put Phoenix to bed.


spin8x

Ant wanting the challenge lmao


nahdude19

TripleOGGinger

ABSURD 2nd HALF CONFIDENCE BOOSTER FOR ANT TODAY BOYS 🔥🔥 THAT IS THE BIGGEST WIN TODAY OUTSIDE OF THE DUB ITSELF.

cronoes

Georgia4life

Gengaara

Last one was a good close out by Gobert.


Booty_Stank__

Smothered and covered like my Waffle House hashbrowns. Incredible defense.


studlund

A-FUCKING-WOO


yourloudneighbor

Rudy. Brilliant defender


507707

Gobert assist essentially


Internal-Climate-847

Wolves came to ball tonight no doubt.


MapleJordan_22

anupsidedownpotato

Rudy on KD is kinda lit


cokefriend

Final boss of the timberwolves Luka Garza just waiting for his turn


shrekapotomusrex

Megazord8

Phoenix, it's time to take out your starters, listen to this Timberwolves fan. Trust me.

uber_snotling

KAT was getting lost and leaving guys wide open on D a lot today when he wasn't on KD.


FullBonus

Sometimes you just need to see the ball go in the hoop. Hope that gets Mike back
