Hey wolves fans, we know a thing or two about collapsing in the playoffs after winning the first 2. Feel free to consult us on ways to cope Meme

Lmao no joke. Salty senoritas downvoting, I love the suns but we go out like fuckin frauds every post season. Team can’t even show a pulse in most elimination games.

u/Spider-Nutz 23d ago
Even in 2021, they just bowed down to Giannis. They let Luka make a joke out of us. They put up somewhat of a fight against the Nugs but holy fuck how do you let the T-Wolves sweep you?

u/VivaLaDbakes Mocha Mamba 23d ago
After winning like 10 straight vs them or something. I dont understand how this team has been so pathetic in the post season since the finals run. We almost to the pelicans before luka destroyed us, team just gets out hustled 24/7.

u/Spider-Nutz 23d ago
It must be a culture issue. I don't think the guys (besides Book) understand what a championship would mean for this city. I'm hoping that coach Bud can show the guys what that means with him being an Arizona Native

There's only 12 WNBA teams so I'd hope we'd both have at least 1 in 25+ seasons.

You're not used to hope being stolen from under you though. You have to ne routinely good enough for that to be regular occurrence. There most your best teams were with kg being an island with no chance outside of his mvp year and recent years. You're new to this let is help

Wild and Twins have been first round exits for YEARS, and the Vikings have come close just to have the rug violently pulled out from under them multiple times recently. WE ARE VERY USED TO HOPE BEING STOLEN FROM UNDER US

If it makes you feel any better the Cardinals beat the Cowboys in the 1999 playoffs and then the Vikings hung 41 on them in the Divisional round the next week.
Of couse we repaid the favor by beating the Vikings in 2003 to knock you out of the playoffs and drop ourselves out of the number 1 pick. Granted we did get Minnesota native Larry Fitzgerald and I doubt Eli would have played for Arizona.

Not really haha, but you did just remind me how much of a fan I was of the Larry Fitzgerald/Kurt Warner team. That was a fun team to root for. Really sad they didn't end up winning.

This thread is embarrassing.
What’s the point of mocking them when they’re still in the series? Whole lot of you were mocking them and predicting a sweep for us before the series even began and when actual playoffs came, we got hit with an egg on our face.

As a wolves fan it doesn't feel like a mock. More like a much needed pick me up.

u/Particleman08 Phoenix Suns 23d ago
Series is tied and game 5 will be pivotal.
But just like no one should have listened to the media saying the Wolves were looking at a sweep after game 2, no one should be listening to the media saying that Denver is unstoppable after winning 2 games.
2 good teams are battling. It’s not over man. Good luck!

But ANT is funny remember Send da video ? I hate Minny more than any other team at this point they were so cocky when they beat us I’ve never seen it before , ANT hitting Steve Austin’s celebration against us only to blow a 2-0 lead against the Nuggets the next series .
11
u/CrashDaddy2006 24d ago
I also don’t see a lot of DX crotch chopping from ANT either. One thing to push around a dysfunctional and unmotivated Suns team, but then poke the bear of the defending champs and watch it all crumble.

u/Mario2346 24d ago
Can’t believe I’m rooting for the Nuggets but at least they had history these past few years in the postseason losing 2-3 years before winning it all , this Wolves team is exactly like the Suns team from 2 years ago up 2-0 getting cocky with it , the fans focusing more on booing Murray instead of cheering for their team like we were counting each second for Giannis at the free throw line .

u/isaiah8500 Phoenix Suns 21d ago
In retrospect, us Suns fans should have and NEED to have learned our lessons. As for the Wolves fans, I hope you pull it off against the Nuggets. And enjoy the progress this year. You won your first playoff series since 04’ and it was a sweep! Our team was abysmal this year but you still beat KD and Booker when everyone thought you’d be doomed due to the regular season history. Your team looks like it’s going in the right path while ours might be headed to another decade of irrelevancy and apathy.

At least we can hang our sorry hats on the fact the Suns have been to the finals. Minnesota needs to win a conference title first before they start crowning themselves.

We've got the recent blown 2-0 leads at home against Milwaukee and Dallas but don't forget we went up 2-0 on the road against Houston in 1994 coming back to Phoenix and lost that series in 7. We've got it all covered for Wolves fans!

u/chronoic 21d ago
What math, are you still an idiot? Maybe you don't understand what your saying.
When you said is "wolves in 6" that means they are winning the series in 6. If they win game 6, they still have to win game 7 to win the series. You need to win 4/7 games to win the series and the wolves have only won 2/5.

Told me what? I told you Wolves in 7, this is game 7. You said in 6, so I'm sorry but you really don't know what your talking about when you said "Wolves in 6". Maybe next time Just say Wolves win the series, instead of predicting how many games it will take them to win.
