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

[eyeatoma]

Congrats to the Celtics on winning the 2024 NBA Championship.

You think the team that beat the Nuggets won't beat the Celtics, not sure about that, the Celtics are the bigger chokers.

You know it's over when gobert hits a turnaround fadeaway J.

Nuggets were hitting some crazy ass shots over LeBron and AD last season, so at the end it all levels. Basketball gods reword a team that deserves win.

That San Antonio Spurs loss came back to haunt Denver like I knew it would

Wouldn’t the same teams just have played in the conference finals?

Not necessarily, matchups matter a lot in NBA.

Crazy that despite how unserious regular season play has become that one single game can still have such a big impact. Wemby already impacting NBA history in his rookie season . Either way Denver coasting during the RS came back to bite them in the ass.

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.

I think its due to simply them just being young and stupid. I definitely don't vibe with this new generation, don't get why they need to finger-point to opposing players that get dunked on. Very immature, and something you'd maybe expect from kindergartners.

I love seeing this happen to these arrogant pricks

Wolves literally locked Porter up like the rest of his family

Damn, internet has no chill LMAO!!!

Ant is a better and more willing defender than Wade.

On ball yeah, help defense nah.

Stating that Ant is a more willing defender than Wade is honestly a ridiculous take. I love Ant btw, he’s my favorite non-Knick player. But Wade was an all defense caliber player in his prime. Y’all seriously need to stop with these hot takes based off living in the moment.

Well then can we at least wait till Ant is in his prime to declare final assessments?

Just watched the last 8 minutes (busy w/ family before) - was rooting for Timberwolves, but they're lucky they pulled it out in my opinion. Their offense wasn't getting great looks. Anthony Edwards played terrible down the stretch - just dribbling the ball aimlessly around the perimeter, waiting on doubles, complaining about calls, etc. I know T'Wolves are favored vs. Mavs but it screams toss up to me. I trust Mavs down the stretch of games more.

[Jailblazers7]

Enormous respect to KAT, the Nuggets completely sold out on Ant & KAT kept them afloat the whole game.

Also, Jaden McDaniels deserves a ton of credit for his defense & shot making tonight. Wolves having him on a contract under $30M/year through 2029 is one of the best deals in the league.

I'm a huge fan of Jokic, but seeing Malone go down in flames is bliss.

Here's hoping this one haunts him the rest of his career and maybe, just maybe, he develops the slightest bit of humility.

Dude is a dick...

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

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

Whooooah Whooaah whooaaah, did you just say Jokic threw someone under the bus?

I thought that only happens with certain players, not "Moses", I mean Jokic.

-Jokic elbow on Gobert was a clear O foul

-Non-call when KCP rakes across both Ant’s arms

-But they called weak as hell moving screens on us in the 4th.

What a joke the NBA is.

The Wolves beat two teams last night.

It's interesting because the Mavs just went through the same thing with OKC. These type of no-calls happened the entire series while the Mavs couldn't breath on SGA without a foul.

I mean the second one was like a hockey play right in front of Tony Brothers and he just looked at Luka like "why are you on the ground?"

Since both teams are usually getting screwed by the refs hopefully we can actually have a series where the refs just call it fairly. That's all I've ever asked.

Ant is already All Defense caliber, proven by votes he received for the All Defense team last year. This year he’ll get more.

Yeah.i don’t get it. How can you miss the calls I mentioned? They were blatant. And these too that you show.

Just call the game fair.

Awful officiating.

And now you know the Wolves will have to face that again against Dallas.

You just know it.

I've been a Mavs fan since I was a kid in the 80's, and I honestly don't remember a series where the Mavs got favorable calls. They usually get screwed so I would be shocked.

I lived through the 2006 Finals where Dwayne Wade got 25 free throws in one game, the Mavs team got 25 free throws and he averaged about 20 free throws a game. A ref went to prison for betting after that. It was rigged against Dallas.

The thing is I don't ask for for favorable calls, just want fair calls. We didn't get it against OKC but won anyway.

Why does Murray look smaller than Edwards on the court but they are the same size?

I think Ant's taller by maybe half an inch. I think its Ant's athleticism.

It has to be... I also think murray hunches more when he has the ball and Ant is more vertical so it looks different, when they were hugging after the game I was noticing it. With hair murray was taller and they both have similar frames. Ant just looks bigger though and it is the way he plays I am sure.
