Playoff game 2 Wolves at Denver 4-19-2023 

Post#1 » by Nick K » Thu Apr 20, 2023 12:33 am

We play tonight on TNT 9PM CST.

I expect a really good game and I think we win a close one. I hope the officials give us a fair shake. I did think they called a good game 1 except for 1 super ticky call on Kat. Jokic gets away with murder.

Denver doesn't have great depth so we can beat em.

I'd much rather lose by 30 than lose by 10.

I don't ever remember the Wolves and Wild TV games being aired on the same night until this year. The schedule makers had to be smoking something. This really sucks.

Tonight the Wild face off at 8:30pm and the Wolves at 9pm. *cursing*

I'll be watching the Wolves and DVR the Wild but that's far from ideal. At least I know I'll get 100% effort from the Wild. That said, chances are we see the good Wolves tonight.

Look better to start but still look like Denver knows how to stop all of our actions.

Yea he's trying to do too much. Just get good looks on the perimeter. We need him to be Dirk tonight not Magic Johnson.

Yay. KAT post up TO. Nothing new here.

KAT is useless thus far.

KAT is not even looking for his shot which is very frustrating

KAT is just a mental shrimp when it matters the most.

I hate how much they try to force the Rudy thing at all costs, it's just not good offense.

It worked great for Utah, Minnesota just sucks at it.

Anyone else despise watching the Nuggets simply for the fact the Wolves could have, and should have, drafted Murray. Thibs did this organization dirty...

we need more offense outside Ant...if KAT isn't even looking for his shot, then we are probably done for the game

KAT needs to rack up some fouls so someone less mental midgety can play.
