Wolves vs Suns GDT: only 2.5 games away from a playoff spot

[Monster]

Man Lavine looked bad most of that half. At least the 2nd rotation he was better on defense.

Wiggins has had some pretty good possessions on Booker.

Rubio has had some terrific stretches in this game. That one pass to Bazz was not good but he has made a few terrific plays.

Dunn has been a mixed bag but there is some good stuff there.

Bazz has been terrific on BOTH sides of the ball.

There has been some poor play from the Wolves in this game and Lavine struggling has been part of it. Hopefully they can get going again.

Bazz is terrific.

Do they try to resign him, and if so how much do you think he's going to cost? He has already exceeded my expectations in terms of playing D and his 3 point shooting is far more reliable than Wiggins is.

He's an RFA, so we can match any offer. I guess I still have a hard time seeing him as a starting SF. He's such a unique fit since he can't really dribble or run PnR. Plus I know he's been solid defensively this year, but most teams' SFs are their #1 wing defender.

But man, that 3-point shot has been a game changer.

If he keeps this up we can sign him and work a deal. I don't know if they'd go up to 20 if somehow he got that in the open market. They should match up to 16.

Thibs is soooo pissed. He knows way ahead of time that Chandler is diving to the rim, yet our guy is late to cover. I think it was LaVine again, yikes. Chandler only rolls. He does not pop. A third guy has to come down to help.

I thought all along Bazz had a chance to get some legit love. He needs to keep playing well. Thibs said things this offseason that said he valued Bazz. He kept him in the rotation (although they were low minutes) despite him not playing well early in the season. I suspect if Bazz keeps playing well on both sides of the ball Thibs will start giving him more like 25mpg on average. Jim Pete said last year Bazz just needs some love. I think Thibs could have been showing him that to some extent all along. They could come to an agreement before he hits RFA right? The rest of the season will give us an idea of what numbers he will be worth. Its fun to see him be a successful player and with Lavine struggling its an even bigger boost.

I think the wild wolf, Lip, and the two of us were the only ones left of Bazz island. I hope he keeps it up. He's been nothing but a hard working guy since he's been here. Amazing how a player can be coached up.

Tough no call on Wiggins dunk attempt. Like that he's trying to throw it down.

Need to keep the foot on the accelerator. Bledsoe is getting a nice rest and will be in with their bench unit.
