Did someone said NAW punched a chair? As long as you don’t punch a wall…….
Everything is nice and dandy when it’s going your way, we will see how the Wolves next game after adversity hits

Jokic looking at the bench after every whistle. Just pull him Malone. I swear if he gets injuried Malone needs to be fired

I notice a lot of modern teams do that and it would annoy me as a fan cause I grew up watching Phil Jackson pull starters when the game was well in hand. One of the reasons Jordan was able to play so many games
I think the modern game is so susceptible to big three point runs that a 25 point lead is basically the new 15 point lead.

Ok I'm Jamal Murray, I should
A: Not throw things on the court, because I'm very important to the Nuggets and they can't afford for me to get suspended
B: Throw things on the court, because it's the playoffs and the league won't suspend me anyway
B was the correct answer, because they didn't suspend him.

You don't like the fact that it's logical that he should have been suspended, that's all.

Re: 2024 NBA Playoffs: West Semifinals: #2 Denver Nuggets vs #3 Minnesota Timberwolves (MIN leads 2-0)
When you're right you're right. I picked a Nuggets win tonight, and a loss in game 4, but winning like THIS?
I've been saying all damn thread that the Wolves haven't played against a competent defense yet, and that against a good defensive team, their offense will struggle. Denver brought the defensive intensity, and surprise, Wolves struggled to score.
Denver played their first complete game all post season, and Murray looked more agile than he has all series.
Series isnt over yet. But if Denver wins game 4, it absolutely is. If Denver wins game 4, Wolves won't win another game all series.

Well ya everybody's been out for a minutes though. It was 27 or so when they starting pulling guys. I'm not saying I agree with it but I think that's the rationale.

Or it's like 2020 Finials. Lakers up 2-0. Heat win game 3. Just when a bunch of people think Heat is going to come back, Lakers won game 4 and the series 6-2.

So Monte Morris wasn't hurt? Interesting.

Yet another player that completely fell off the face of the earth once he stopped playing with Jokic.

Because there's such a precedent for throwing things on the court because you're butthurt.

I always find it off putting when the best players on the losing team are laughing on the bench following a loss. Idk maybe I’m just old school.

This was a champion-level performance. Sunday will be lit. Minny will surely come out with a bit more intensity. I think Jokic will bring his A game

He made a stupid decision and got a fine. He learned his lesson and won't do it again. It wasn't a Draymond Green like incident, and it wasn't a fight. Only a softie wants players suspended left and right for things like that, but NBA fans are super soft these days.

Imagine being a fan who paid hundreds of dollars to watch their team lose every game of this series in person.
