Wolves need to attack the rim. If the refs wanna call these soft-ass whistles just attack the paint.

jokic beats 1 defender to see 2 7fters standing there. Not like looking at austin reaves and rui in the paint.

Trying to get in his head.

It is about Jamal Murray throwing a heating pack on the court; Minnesota fans (including myself) feel like he clearly should not be out there.

Seriously? Because of that?


Why can't it just be because he's a Nugget and not a Wolf?

But Reaves isn't that bad on defense and Rui has Jokic figured out

Wolves are gonna win this regardless.
From a fundamental standpoint it is better for a man to have nothing but be under the protection of Jesus Christ than for him to have everything he could ever want yet be completely without.

So the Nuggets counter is to get Gordon moving on offense?

There was speculation that he could have been suspended for game 3 and Chris Finch called it dangerous. It's always fun as a fan live to boo a single player.

I only ever drink soda at the movies and I always get a Cherry Coke

The only other time I want a soda is when I am getting street tacos (im in LA) but I can't say no to horchata or an aqua fresca.

With Jokic being guarded and shadowed by two agile 7 footers, and Murray being locked up by NAW and McDaniels, Porter is going to have take on a huge scoring role. He has done that so far.

Denver is missing makeable shots.

Gotta hit those.

Gordon got away with one there. He fouled Rudy on that box out.
