Huge effort from the team tonight. We don't give easy shoot as last 3 and we execute well. Not much TO, team well balance on offense. Special to Jaden , huge tonight on both sides. Game 7 will be a big fight.

Denver scored 9 points in the 4th! That’s crazy

They need 15pts (now 13 pts) to be safe.

Your 3.5 points per minute remaining formula?

Something along that line but DEN prefer to save energy for game 7

G3 was weird but we didn't play bad in G4, G5. Nuggets role players shot above their normal levels in those games and then Jokic played on another level in that G5, made some ridiculous shots. Some of that stuff is just not sustainable

G4 was determined by the end of Q1 and Q2 runs (20-2)

Our game all season has been to keep it close, then take over in the second half. We almost over came those 18 points, but fell 8 short.

This team in general has responded well to adversity almost throughout the season, even when they were shorthanded or playing road B2B games vs tough opponents. I would have felt so much worse about this team if they lost the G6 in a tame fashion but instead they responded in the best possible way they can.

36 points from our bench is a lot different from 11 or 12 we've gotten the last 3 games.

Wolves coaches put up a video of our best plays game 1 and 2 this afternoon and the guys loved it and played like it.

What a season so far! Will probably to have to take another day off to look game 7! Go wolves.

MIN was 2 point favorites. Did they cover?

Seriously though, I got home after the game started, so I’ve been catching up on the DVR. So proud of McDaniels and KAT ..everybody!

Thank you Wolves, and bring on Game 7!

I think Conley is key and quiet general of the team and he plays good game 7 Wolves will move on. I'm thinking the winner of game 7 will play in the NBA finals.

LOL! I saw the box score, and Ant was a +43! 43! How is that even possible in an NBA game?!

I got to point where I said end of year we were 3rd best regular season and we finish that way it is good season. This is house money against Champs, we lose in 7 and I say we got a great trajectory. If you buy into taking the knocks to get there we are in great spot.

shrink · Post #137 » by **shrink** » Fri May 17, 2024 4:22 am

Listening to the highlights and Ryan Ruocco sounds like he is saying "Menace-sota" Timberwolves and I am sitting here thinking to myself
HOW IS THAT NOT ON YOUR PLAYOFF T-SHIRTS!?

Get it together Minny!

I saw this on the General Board, and I completely agree!

Jamal Murray postseason vs. Minnesota, 2023: 27.2 ppg (.471/.429/.909), 5.6 rpg, 6.4 apg
Jamal Murray postseason vs. Minnesota, 2024: 15.7 ppg (.382/.333/1.00), 4.3 rpg, 4.7 apg

Think Jaden McDaniels would have made a difference last year?

I take no "moral" victories. We win game 7 or I'm depressed as hell.
