The offense does not follow. Teams should focus on fit rather than big names.

[@WheresWaldo05]

The NBA talking points and game/series picks will always sway towards name brand. There is something called team chemistry. And no team in the league has better chemistry than the wolves. As far as many different play styles and types on the roster. Everyone actually really likes each other alot top to bottom. Tons of selfless players giving props constantly to other players. They all WANT to play defense. They are not afraid to tell eachother things in the moment out of tough love. Players on the bench have pure joy for the guys on the court all season long. I have watched every team many times. No other team is built like this wolves team. I have said since after first 2-3 months, that this team smells like a finals team.

[@daibu05]

Acho said said Kevin Durant isn't the better scorer of him and booker. Please get the clown off TV

Defense.... Defense is beneath the Sun's big 3, and thats why they lost... And thats why they'll inevitably lose this series.

[@josephgill734]

Naz Reid can give you 20. Towns can score his points. Walker can score 15 points

[@orthodoxos1971]

Suns will be lucky to get 1. They are in Trouble with a capital T. Anthony Edwards is too good. And that is a big solid athletic Twolves team

[@billyda1jack15]

bunch of casuals and it’s clear who you’re rooting for. The Timberwolves have one of the best defenses we’ve seen in the last 15 years. They have size, they have length, they have switchable guys, they have youth, they have experience, they have dawgs in Ant, Naz & Jaden McDaniels… Alexander-Walker too. Offensively, how are they going to stop KAT & Naz Reid and then Gobert at the rim? Whose going to stop them?? We already know AntMan will get his 30. But they got other guys like Conley, McDaniels, Alexander-Walker, Anderson, Monte Morris etc etc who can chip in enough to win.

[@williamvelazquez659]

Speak is a great nba show😊

[@babbaunited5882]

You win a Championship with Defense, not with just Offense. D Book is inconsistent his whole career in the Playoffs and KD is always on a Team who can't stop anybody, since he left GW. What can you learn from the Nuggets. You need a Leader who is Focused on the Game not on Social Media or Business and you need a Team not just the old Idea of Big 3 or Big 2.

[@luckypants4364]

Put some respect on the wolves!

[@serge6885]

2-0 now! Unbelievable!

[@deliliankramo7520]

There is more to the game than just offense. Suns have two players that the side of the same coin and a third player that’s a taller version of the first two. No PG to set their offense and get them easy looks, no defense, no bench. Minnesota is a top 5 maybe top 3 Defensive team with McDaniels, Gobert, ANT, KAT. And they have a bench with Alexander, Naz Reed, McLaughlin.

[@thorfinsky1427]

Or maybe top 1.

[@nils4349]

Agree with everything but Minnesota is the number 1 defense by far

[@markellmanning3135]

It doesn't help the fact that the Suns don't have a point guard

The game showed you who the best player on the floor is (ANT) and and the wolves showed you how to beat the suns despite their regular season record. Let KD get his and shut everyone else down which is what they did. Way too much disrespect for the Wolves. They have shown themselves to he the better team ALL year and have home court

Stick to football, these were terrible takes hahahah. "After Ant, what do they have on offense???" Shady did you forget about KAT, Naz Reid, NAW, Minnesota Mike despite his performance last game. Didn't even touch on how amazing Rudy was last game on both ends, sheesh this was bad!

[@jamesehlers6994]

Oh no the sun's are in trouble 😅

[@jamesbond1586]

The Suns are toast. The main issue is size and toughness. The Timberwolves have tremendous rebounders and size down-low compared to Phoenix. They also had the number one ranked defense during the regular season. This series is a matchup nightmare for Phoenix and they have a very high probability of getting swept.

[@WheresWaldo05]

The rating difference between the wolves #1 defense and the #2 difference is the same rating difference between the #2 defense and the #10 defense this season. They weren't just good. Or great. Or even elite. Taking into account this era of play style, they were historic imo. Equivelant to the 2004 Pistons.

[@deliliankramo7520]

This is why I don’t like people Shady or SAS when it comes to KD cause all they talk about is offense. He can drop 30 he is efficient yes and yes. But there is more to the game than just scoring. KD had 31 Ant had 33 you tell me which one had the most impactful 30 performance in that game. KD had 1 assist and 5 turnovers being careless way too many times with the ball.
