Minnesota Timberwolves take commanding 2-0 lead over Phoenix Suns in intense playoff battle. Jaden McDaniels shines, raising questions about series outcome.
Absolutely Derek, McDaniels was a prize I was amazed to land on draft night! Just as NAW’s availability as a throw in pick in trade. Like you, I’ve followed this team for a long time (day1) always looking over my shoulder for what’s the next disaster waiting to darken the lights!
This team has the potential to move well into the playoffs, did I expect favorable results from a team that blew them away 3 times this season, no! But after watching these 2 games and multiple Suns press coverage, I can see doubt and head hanging on their big 3. Fridays game will be a challenge worthy of just how far this team has come, definitely a statement game… or…As always thanks for this Derek!!
It's so interesting how McDaniels can play like he did in Game 3 after Game 4. Just night and day contributions and makes me wonder if he can consistently contribute more. I want to say 'yes' but it never happens. NAW was so huge in Game 3 too. Yeah, I can't wrap my brain around this team being the position they are.
I'm very encouraged by what I've seen too. I don't feel great about a likely series against the Nuggets with no home court but they really proved me wrong in this series. Thanks, Patrick! I appreciate you reading. Let's see what Sunday brings.
More of the same is what I hope for, the Suns we’re having a hard time with the beat-down from this defensive team’s efforts. The fact that nobody wants to be swept is in their minds, but the Wolves have that dog in them, especially knowing that no team has ever come back from a 3-zip!
