Very good start for Minnesota.

Ant looking invencible in the first minutes.

Same as the first round. They just look apathetic.

Ant can't miss, Denver can't rotate and now you have Rudy getting dunks.
Denver looking about as bad as possible rn. Just no energy.

Nuggets strategy this playoffs

First half: sleep
Second half: wake up and impress everybody when we make a comeback and win

Similar to Denver last season.

Never could have imagined this start.

Still... With Denver no lead is safe. They can erase any deficit in a matter of minutes. I won't even feel comfortable if we are up 20 going into the 4th against them

The casuals will be surprised at the Timberwolves because everybody just craps on their players.

League pass and avid watchers of the league know how close these 2 teams are.

omg


That's on his teammates. If Gobert is going to guard him 20 feet away from the basket, someone needs to cut under towards the hoop. Everyone just stood the perimeter.

Bigger myth?

Rudy can’t guard in space, or Towns is a flustered turnover machine?

I think Towns assisted Gobert the most during the season or right up until his injury. It might’ve been the most alley oop asssists, don’t remember anymore. But yeah, they have great chemistry

I didnt understand the wolves hype but 6 minutes in you can see why people have them winning the series…they got the defensive personnel to make everything tough for jokic and murray
