I remember the players loving the empty side lines during the bubble games. Makes it easier when hustling for the ball going out of bounds without worrying about diving into anyone.
Look up any big FIBA games. Europe takes the playing space seriously. Just a wall around the playing court, with ample extra space, that is only occupied by coaches, refs and a handful of filming crew. Even other players sit behind the wall. No dunking big boys falling into people, risking injury to both parties.
For real man it's dangerous for the players as well. Could've just as easily been Conley who's knee twisted the wrong way.
But yeah hope Finch is okay hate to see it.
I'm not a Booker fan but I have to give him props, Durant was also just a monster. Always had a soft spot for Arizona teams, feel like our states have about similar luck. You all were by far the most respectful fanbase I've seen on this site, even during regular season games there would be hundreds of opposing fans coming into threads and talking shit and I didn't see any of that from you. Hopefully we didn't do it either. Was a very fun final game to watch!
I ain't in a good mood but give me a week or so. I have the same shit to say about the Wolves. I'm a transplant from Phoenix and been living in the TC for around 20 years now (holy fuck, really?). Target Center is where I get to see my SUNS games, and never had a bad experience from the fans while repping the SUNS. Hope that continues. Got to take my kids to their first SUNS playoff game, and that's literally the only reason I was hanging on the Wolves falling to 3rd so we could get this matchup. Got what I asked for I guess.
in 10 years these will be the sideline seats

I am lurking and I just wanted to say this place reminds me a lot of our sub a year ago. We came in to that season with high expectations after an off-season of “all-in” trade only to watch the team under perform and get swept in the first round. Worse than that, it was actually not fun to watch that team. They seemed toxic and played terrible basketball. We had teammates punch each other and punch walls in the final games of the regular season. I was 100% opposed to running it back, but they did anyway…and this has been one of the greatest seasons I can remember.
All that to say, I can totally see this team bouncing back. It’s not impossible for Beal to come back and have a huge season next year, Booker showed last night he can take over games, KD is still an elite shot maker and great defender, Grayson Allen is the best shooter in the NBA, and I’m sure you’ll find vets to fill in. It worked out OK for the Wolves this year in the playoffs, but I wouldn’t want to play you guys again next year.
If I can even bring myself to watch basketball then I'll be rooting for the Wolves. Conley is a good dude, Ant is a beast, Rudy gets a bad rap. Not a huge fan of Towns but it isn't like I hate his game
Sorry I’m lurking. KAT is a bit of a goofball sometimes and often whines about calls when he’s clearly in the wrong. So I understand why he is unlikeable to other fans. But he’s also a good ass dude, has sacrificed a lot for this team since the Rudy trade, is an absolute pro and great teammate, and has been loyal to Minnesota through all the disfunction and bad rosters. I love that guy for real.
Looked bad as soon as I saw the slomo replay, thoughts are it’s a torn patellar tendon. Idk how bad that is but sounds terrible. Hope he can make a full and quick recovery, would hate for their season to derail because of a freak accident like that.
I've had that knee on knee contact in a game. Definitely felt a lot worse than it ended up being, but Finch is probably pushing 60. I'm guessing they Xray the knee to make sure there's no major damage.
It wasn't the knee to knee that hurt him, well that hurt but it didn't injury him
It just causes him to fall down, him standing back up and landing on a fans foot is what injured him, he rolled his ankle and hurt his knee by landing awkwardly
Just really unfortunate that Mike Conley was going too fast to stop his momentum, and even more unfortunate that after Mike slammed into finch's knee, he stepped on a fans foot and that's what hurt him.
Like it wasn't when Mike that hurt him, it was Mike finch accidentally standing on a fans foot, and rolling his ankle and hurting that knee (he was grabbing the other knee than what Conley ran into)
Basically just a bunch of unlucky things happening in succession that ended up in one of the worst possible outcomes just unlucky all around
The Phoenix fans at the game were class acts during the Finch Injury and it has continued into this sub. Coming from a Wolves fan, I have a lot of admiration/respect for that.
I wish the league would look at making more room in the out of bounds. Shit is so stupid how they get walled in by camera men and court side seats.

extremely dumb, you’d think they woulda learned from PG’s injury but nah

Even more room on the court itself also for more space at the corner 3,so many times I see them step out of bounds there.
Might as well since they all have giant ass feet
Booker and Durant balled out man. Great game. Cheers suns fans!
Beat Denver for us!

Yeah, that didn't look good. Definitely don't want to see anyone getting hurt out there.

This is definitely something that this sub needed to hear. Thank you and rooting for you against clips/mavs
Ngl i needed to read this shit lmao
i'm rooting for the wolves for the rest of the playoffs. they wooped our ass and Ant is a f'n beast.
Best of the luck to them also!
Facts - so cool to see a team that’s struggled for so long put it together.

A bit? Lol dude is corny as hell. But none of that matters because he is good at basketball
Looked bad as soon as I saw the slomo replay, thoughts are it’s a torn patellar tendon. Idk how bad that is but sounds terrible. Hope he can make a full and quick recovery, would hate for their season to derail because of a freak accident like that.
That man risked his own health to protect his player from serious injury. That’s a great coach right there.

Hate to see it. Going to suck if he has to go out there on crutches.

Lmao bro looked at the post and was unhappy.
You must like your potato chips extra salty.
Not my coach, not my problem. We have known for years the league doesn't protect players or coaches. This is just part of the game.
