2024 NBA Playoffs: West Semifinals: #2 Denver Nuggets vs #3 Minnesota Timberwolves (MIN WINS 4-3)

[GeorgeSears]

The Inside guys are always so clueless. Jeff Green got paid 8 million from Houston. Denver couldn't match it without his bird rights. Brown got 22 million. They didn't let them go. This is what's going to happen to role players of all title contenders/champs moving forward with the new CBA.

Yep. They knew that Bruce was gone. Jeff was already at the end of the road.

The problem is they didn't work hard enough, or get creative enough, to bolster their bench. They just felt that they could run it back and that the bench unit, with one year under their belt and a title run, would be able to pick up the slack. Unfortunately, it became very clear just how limited they were, particularly offensively.

GG to the Wolves! Even tho I was rooting for Denver, I'm definitely cheering for the Wolves moving forward. Ant is easily one of my favorite new up and coming players and this was a well deserved win.

I didn't see 80% of the 4th quarter due to being on a call with fiancee during a tornado warning, but just caught the last 5 minutes on Youtube.

Did Jaden McDaniels really try to do a bounce off the floor oop to himself with the game out of reach? He's lucky KCP didn't undercut him for that and it would have been justifiable.

Did Anthony Edwards really wave at the classy Denver fans as though he was "the" reason they won? They've got ridiculous talent in both the starting lineup and rotation and they certainly weren't some underdogs.

I can tell both these dudes are not classy and definitely didn't have father figures in their life if that's how they behave. Yikes.

You are overreacting and perhaps a sore loser too.

What they did is fine, some guys just excited for the biggest win of their young careers. You let them be and you suck it up.

You know you people hate on Jokic all the time. When you see his attitude compared to Murray and Mike Malone it’s sad you **** on him.

Nothing wrong with the reaction IMO

I respect it more than a coach coming out smiling and giggling after a loss like this. Guy cares…team lost. Seen way worse, **** happens.

[durden_tyler]

Malone showed some real class in the press conferences. Giving credit where it’s due and admitting that there’s work to be done ahead but at same time confident that they will have their chances next season/s again.

Stability in coaching, a humble MVP and reliable role players, easily a top 4 team out West again next year or so.

Who was it that said NBA fixed a Luka-Jokic matchup?

I have been following the nba for maybe 25 years, I have never seen any of those conspiracy theorists become into reality.

2002 Lakers - Kings, game 6,.... just saying

And they told us we were sore losers when we said this man was a certified bitch.

I fell the whole organization is riding on Joker's greatness... Malone is playing Joker 47 minutes in this one, banging against three big centers, that's basically a crime... Joker had to settle for threes which disserted him all season long...
Malone should let Gordon initiate some offense in this one, Jamal was great in the first half, but you can tell he was gased and not only could not make shots in the second half but also slipped on defense...
having no depth took a toll on them...

this is a step between being a really good coach to a great one... Mikey has a long way to go...
Joker in his post game interview said coaching need to improve too, a sutle jab at Malone

Nah - this is a real and raw answer. I appreciate it. F being politically correct. Don't be soft.

[shi-woo]

Couldn't watch the 2nd half due to work, and was shocked when I checked my phone and saw the Wolves actually did.

Anyone care to give me a run down of what happened in the 2nd half so i don't have to read 100 pages of fan reactions and insults?

[HotRocks34]

Malone confirmed it post-game -- Denver ran out of gas in the second half.

Props to Minny for staying on them and being ready to surge when that happened.

He's probably back on a call with fiancee, signs back on to realgm and sees all the responses to his post and thinks they are And 1's and then he realizes they are all comments.

I would take this over smiles and handshakes.

Looking at you Phoenix SUNS.

Been saying it all season, the Nuggets are the 2000s Spurs. They’ll probably be the safest bet to win it any given year, but they’re a tier below the historically great teams.

Well to repeat it takes a pretty dominant team and the Nuggets were never on the level of the dynasties like the Bulls or Warriors.

They have some weak links in MPJ and Murray which they should probably address but I don't know if they risk team chemistry and try to shake it up? MPJ got so many wide looks from 3 and he bricked a ton of them.

Murray had a lot of unfortunate turnovers although I'm not sure how other point guards would fare with the type of defense the Wolves have been playing.

days of dynasties are over for now. too much parity and talent distribution.

I wouldn't say they are over.

It's just kind of rare to see a team draft the right players and have the right mix of role players come together like the Warriors did but it can happen and it will happen again we just never know when it will happen.

We're in an in between phase where the old stars like Curry, KD, LBJ, Kwahi, Westbrook are in decline and there's a new generation that can take up the torch.

[John Murdoch]

We are back America...Edwards carrying the torch that was too heavy for Tatum

He’s 6-23 bro…

And one step closer to the title
