Wolves win this game and a serious rivalry in the NW division is probably brewing. These can be epic games for years. Lets not forget OKC is also going to be mixing uo with these two teams in that same division too.
When luck shuts the door skill comes in through the window.

I absolutely love Jokic, blowing this game with that lead is borderline inexcusable.

Wolves fans. How effective has a lineup that has KAT and Naz together been this year?

Still time for Murray and KCP to cook

Lot of blame to be had on Denvers side but the truth is Minnesota's defense just really showed up. They're an all-time defensive squad.

Jokic is no GOAT.

Can't even take over. LeBron would have finished this.

Don't say that's it's not over yet.


I hope Ant attacks instead of brick 3s.

Kat’s the only reason the Nuggets didn’t run away with this in the first. Don’t do him like that.


Exactly. Kat has been phenomenal this game as has Rudy.

Naz just had a great 5 min stretch.

Team effort


It was a real impressive stretch for him though. He had like a -10 plus minus and got that up to a -3 in that time.

Honestly, all of Reid/KAT/Gobert played really well in this game, though only KAT really played well in both halves.

Yep I thought they were going to go on a mini dynasty run, and win like 3 or 4 titles in 5 or 6 years.

Jokic has to show up before we make excuses.

He's been getting shut down.


Jokic can't do it for 47 minutes, on his own. :lol: I'm not blaming him. No one else is anywhere to be found.

Minnesota is winning it all.


Well, the supporting cast AND Jokic both look like crap comparatively. Murray was great, saving the first half.

You can't hold double standards. The series has had moments in both directions for the support and it
can't be used as an excuse for this game. That's for sure.
:o LeBron is 0-7 in game winning/tying FGs in the finals. And is 20/116 or 17% in game winning/tying FGs in the 4th/OT for his career. That's historically bad :o
