I think the difference is more the versatility of the team. Ant doesn't get in KAT or Gobert's way and vice versa. With Phoenix all 3 stars are too similar.
People laugh at pat bev, bit ever since he went to the twolves ghat one year, they've been aggressive on both ends ever since. He turned them into a very hustle and defensive team
Dallas versus Denver is what I'd like to see. Defense isn't Doncic nor Jokic's repertoire but they are BOTH 1-2 punch the best in the NBA , whether anyone likes it or not. EUROPEAN BASKETBALL brings their IQs to the NBA like Caitlin Clark and....OWN THEIR LEAGUES.

Gobert is not talked enough how good he is for the team, alwats setting up good screens, running up and down the court keeping pressure for lobs and paint presence, rooming around preventing easy layups/midrange, solid solid perimeter defense when u know the talents Suns have. When u compare to Bol bol who looks totally unaware where he is and completely goofy, u have 0 problem seeing why Gobert is the deal for the wolves on defense. + 2 elite wing defenders in Mcdaniels and Alexander walker, i mean this team is for real defensively they have the tools.When u factor in that Gobert has nothing run for him and he still quietly adds 14pts to the game, being sometimes the last to touch the ball in 4-5sec remaining in tough position, dude is killing it regardless
Yeah I agree with gobert inside the paint other wolves can just go out and contest the 3 point shot because they know even the opponents fake a 3 and drive into the paint. There is always gobert cover up the paints this is the defence system they build around gobert. You can see booker has stopped this game because he doesn't have easy shots in any area on the court
This Wolves team has all the parts to win it all. Naz Reid is an underrated Swiss Army knife who can play 3, 4 and 5. They’re the only team that could give Denver problems in my opinion with their size, length, youth and talent.
Yeah, except that they can't beat Denver this year. It takes much more than talent to go to Western Conference Finals. And then, it's totally different game when the team gets there. Maybe next year.
It's between him and haliburton. Kyrie deserve a spot in the USA roster. Book struggles more frequently than Kai. Hali on the other hand, didn't need to even shoot the ball because we had a lot of gunners. Kyrie should be on bookers place if we are just looking for an impact scorer.

that was a travel from Ant at around 6:12 in the video timeline because he moved his pivot foot, and I am unsure if this is a new ruling. He left his pivot foot then jump for the lay in… That was clearly an uncalled travel.
I get why they don't call it, not going to stop the show. But man on a slow play like that it's just such a blatant obvious travel. What can you even do as a defender? You see Booker commiting heavily on the contest only for Edwards being able to just walk past the contest...

As a Timberwolve I’m glad that we’ve won the game but we shouldn’t underestimate Suns, they can comeback stronger. By the way, Ant was committing crimes on that court, let’s go… .
The Sun's are making the offense way harder than it needs to be, there is no way that the ball doesn't go through Kevin Durant in every possession, slow the game get Kevin in the post if they collapse throw to a open shooter if not Kevin can shoot over everyone, Beal and Booker are not playmakers yall have Nurkic and a 7ft to set some screens, minimum 5 seconds if you don't have a easy match up give it to Kevin in the post that's how the Clippers where playing during their peek in the season instead of Kevin they go through Kahwi iso and everyone clears out.
@@moysterx wich is my point if u watch how the clippers treat kawhi another mid range monster when they need offense they clear out and let him work, KD is the better shooter on the team let him cook.
Remember when casuals criticized the Gobert trade? And shouted from the mountains "how can Twin Towers play together?" While completely ignoring history? Remember?
The game wasn't close, but Suns are not gonna shoot this bad the next time. This could be a long and tough series for both team, if Booker shoots better, and if Nurkic plays better D. Suns can outscore any team, but they need to rebound better. Minesota plays great. It's gonna be very interesting series.
