I dunno Nikola, looks like you’re still moving into that screen

Oh FFS maybe because a 300lb dude full on shoved him.

I only saw the one replay, I missed the push

[Tor_Raps]

Absolutely love it. Bunch of fools calling Joker overrated because he lost 2 damn playoff games. I despise people who take recency bias too far lol.

Well to be fair Ruby gave him a fore arm shiver.

Absolutely sour grapes, but I am still pretty disgusted that Jamal Murray wasn’t suspended.

My feeling is that I don't want playoff series, and potentially championships, to be decided by suspensions. Perhaps he deserved it, but if so, at least let him serve it at the beginning of next regular season.

ya I don't know why people want a suspension....it would ruin the series....do we not want to watch competitive basketball?

Did Brothers say “the sex is” before he corrected himself? What’s on his mind lol

He was the one last night during Luka’s postgame interview.

So you don’t want suspensions under any circumstances? Just seems like a silly stance to take. If Murray walks up and punches the ref then it’s all good, just let him serve the suspension next year?

I get you enjoy the Nuggets but part of the game is not doing dumb stuff

Must win game for Minny next game. Denver would have too much momentum and can finish it in 6. You can't blow both games after winning the first two.

If Denver wins this series, it's basically a cakewalk to WCF and Finals

He threw multiple things on the court that could have injured players, he had no reason to do so except stupidity. Is there no limit to what you can do to where they league should just excuse it because it's the playoffs?

I mean your logic is sound but what about his logic? Why would you risk getting suspended because you're angry?

Absolutely sour grapes, but I am still pretty disgusted that Jamal Murray wasn’t suspended. I knew he wouldn’t be, but getting away with throwing things at the ref (and on the court) while making money hand gestures is wild.

Agreed he should have been suspended and I say this as a Jokic fan.

Where was this team first 2 games? It may be too late now.?.

They're in a hole but it's absolutely not too late. Win on Sunday and you have home court again.

Having to win 4 out of 5 or now, 3 out of 4 is almost as a big of a hole as they can be, they have no margin of error. Bad shooting on sunday and its over...

They needed a punch in the mouth to wake the **** up

That was more like punch in the mouth, kick in the nuts and the Wolves also pissed on the corpse before leaving...

[KGDirkTD_Fan]

This is beautiful offense. EASILY the best they've looked these playoffs.

First time they actually started a game well these playoffs. They were lackadaisical until they got punked in games one and two. Hopefully it woke them up for good.

It's pretty amazing sometimes what happens when you get your ass kicked for a moment. I wonder if this is sitting inside the Celtics too they just needed a terrible loss or two from the Cavs.

My man

The towel landed a foot behind the ref before it slid and grazed the back of his feet.

The heat pack landed out of bounds before it slid and winded up on the court.

Surely you can say there's a difference between these scenarios and someone throwing a towel at the body of a ref or throwing a heat pack at the body of a player.

This is the playoffs. Stop with this nonsense.

lol, maybe he should, but if you are as good as everyone says and your fanbase think you should have no problem winning this series easily against a unintrested jokic and injured kcp and murray.

[Raps in 4]

This series is over. I don't see how Minny recovers from this.

Turnovers is key. If they limit them then Denver has a great chance

Is the playoffs man. I can't believe people actually think this.

1. You can’t enable players to chuck multiple objects at referees, that is insane.

2. If the heating pack slides when Towns steps on it and he gets injured, do you hold that same opinion? If not, then you aren’t being consistent. It is an incredible dangerous thing to do.

3. Players have (correctly) been suspended in higher stakes Playoff moment.


It’s legitimately obscene that the NBA just looked the other way on a play that dangerous, which is an opinion that I’ve held prior to this smack down.

[Tor_Raps]

Crying for a Murray suspension is such sour grapes. Man the F up and win the series with everyone on the court.

If Embiid didn't get suspended for directly hurting Robinson then Murray wasn't getting suspended for that nonsense.

Oh I didn't know there was a common precedent for throwing things on the court and where they land. Who cares? It was dumb as f*** even Jokic said so.

Nuggets ain't messing around at all tonight
