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

[worldK]

Can we finally blame wiggins for something?

Not in this game. He willed us to win. I think the last few games pretty much end the debate on who is our best wing player. I love lavine but wiggins is clearly the better of the 2.

This stretch of games has had some fun wins, but this one was sweet.

Wait a game or two. Opinions seem to change fast around here. Truth is there was never a real argument, just some strong situational evidence that made Zach look pretty amazing for a bit. I hope the argument does keep happening. Because it will only mean that both continue to improve.

So Tuckers been hammering KAT all night. Then gets a phantom foul call to shoot free throws and potentially win the game.....

Multiple horrible calls against the Wolves at the end:

1. The no-call multiple times where Tucker was basically holding and slapping at KAT.

2. The Bledsoe drive where he throws himself into KAT and gets the call. I hate those plays. I get it when the big man is out of position, but in this case KAT wasn't. That was a B.S. call.

3. The ticky tack foul they called on KAT against Tucker.

4. The no call against Tucker AGAIN on the Wiggins' drive, just before his pull up game winner.

Oh well, justice is served in the end. Great win!

Great win on the road vs a hot team. Its a team we should beat but the suns where playing well coming into this game.

Wiggins was outstanding starting late in the 3rd to the finish. he just took over the game on offense for us. We also see a variation of wiggins running the offense late in the game. It was rubio giving a screen to wiggins instead of towns therefore forcing the suns to not playoff rubio and clog the lane. It worked this game.

Towns was solid although he didn't get much touches in the 4th. Dieng with a solid game. Rubio was very good outside of his travel late in the game. Bazz had a terrific 1st half but come back down to earth in the 2nd. Lavine is still finding his groove back.

Solid win.

JUst finished watching the game.

Dunn had some awful possessions. Obviously they are in a huge hurry to get rid o that Rubio guy right? lol

Rubio made some bad plays in this game too, but overall he played pretty well. His defense was really good tonight against a guy that seems like a guy that would give him trouble.

The best part of Wiggins game tonight was his defense. They probably should have put him on Booker late and dared the Suns to make Tucker post up Lavine. Of course playing someone instead of Lavien would have been even better... Having said that I thought Lavine had been playing pretty good D on Booker before that. They were always contesting his shots.

Towns player pretty well. The only issue I had was teh Wolves got destroyed by Chandler on the boards. Dieng had a nice game but the same complaint for him as well.

I agree the officiating was questionable at best. I don't think I have ever seen Jim Pete so disgusted in any game as he was tonight by multiple things. I think he sees this team has teh talent and is tired of teh losing youth etc like fans are. Anyway the officiating...I try and not get wraoped up in that, but...I kept thinking if the Wolves win this it will be pretty sweet because it feels liek they have gotten a tough end of the stick on that angle. And then Wiggins nails that shot for the win! Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was a good win,. It was ugly, but I'll take it.

I know some here strongly believes lavine is the better of the two and would give him the 5 year deal instead of wiggins. Nothing wrong with having a different opinion as i love both players. But to me at least, it has never been an argument on who is the better of the two.

Towns had some poor defensive plays but he had a number of REALLY good ones. He has really come on in that dept and its very good to see.

That volleyball spike on Booker was insane.

Yup. Wiggins gets the game ball, but damn, Dieng made some really key plays down the stretch. I thought Rubio had a great overall game, even though he made two crucial errors at the end (the foul on Bledsoe that led to three FTAs and the travel).

I like how Thibs is using Rubio as a screener.....very interesting look.
