Game 4, WC-SF : Denver Nuggets #2 @ Minnesota Timberwolves #3 (1-2)

Our blowout loss in game 2 and a blowout win in game 3 are unrealistic pictures of ours and their power.

Game 4 is probably the key game for this series. We are still a better team but it is an away game and the Wolves' confidence is fueled by playing arguably the best basketball in franchise history and 7 straight wins vs the Suns and Nuggets.

Well games 2&3 show both teams are capable of dominating a game or the series IMO

As for the SIX game win streak which we crushed, the Wolves size created a total mismatch for the Suns, who really haven’t developed much chemistry. And give credit to TC, who has the Tpups buying in

Denver has previously come back in the playoffs down 3 games to 1. This game is important but not fatal. However, this is a setup for a dog fight.

+15 at halftime with a great 11:0 run in the finish of Q1 and 5:0 in the very last 3 seconds of Q2... now this is officially a MUST-WIN game!

We are Champions, who the f... is they?!

Woo Hoo !!! regained HCA, confidence and momentum, nice job fellas. This game leads me to believe Braun can eventually take over for KCP. Hope Murray gets some more rest for that calf.

The whole team played well to beat a strong opponent, but all-around 27-7-6 Aaron Gordon should be especially mentioned today with fantastic 11-12 shooting. Also big credit to Justin Holiday, the unexpected hero from the bench of this Minnesota series so far shooting threes 10-16 (7-10 in the last two games we won in Minneapolis).

Ruins another 40 point game from young superstar ANT, but they are tougher than last year, so we have to up our next few games as well. Time to make that momentum wave a TSUNAMI !

Not to be a Debbi-downer but realistically all we did was turn this into a best-of-three series.

These are the Nuggets we were all expecting. Impressive Jokic setting the tone since the beginning, stellar Aaron Gordon and overall the whole bench who stepped up (unexpectedly).

This series is going to game 7, where we have much more experience. I am just worried about physicallity, as they are now playing every two days and Nuggets nade a huge effort to tie the series and Edwards, who is playing at the same level as Jokic. If he mantains this level of performance, it is tough to be optimistic
