Just lose by 30 points now, at least the sense of urgency is even more higher for Minnesota for Game 4.

If Gordon hits open threes and Murray beats single coverage, Denver can still win this series
Thank you Nico!

I love all the reactionary takes you see these days. Everyone lives and dies with every run or even basket.

People gonna jump to conclusions but it’s not surprising the defending champs are responding. Especially on 3 three days rest. Winner of game 4 will take the series.

:lol:

Nuggets went from getting swept to winning this series here in RealGM land. I thought it was going 7 before the series began and still think that way.

Do you know how many players you can put in that sentence?

Tatum is another guy who drives me insane with his constant hoisting of garbage shots.

Towns 4-6 from the field (four threes)… clearly need to run more offense through him.

Depends what adjustments Wolves come up next game. They're still up 2-1. If they shoot the lights out in Game 4 there's nothing Denver can do.

Game 4 should be the series if any so Minnesota still the favorites despite this blowout G3 loss.

Bill Simmons cursed the Wolves. Said they would sweep the Nuggets.

Still think Minnesota will win game 4 and likely the series though. They won't possibly play this bad again. This is a healthy reality check for them.

After Denver's last loss, I thought they needed to blow things up, but if they win tonight, I don't see them losing again for the rest of the playoffs maybe next year playoffs too.
