Wolves have gotten better. And thus far Nuggets have looked worse.

No fluke. They dusted essentially the same Minny team last year.
But Murray wasn't hurt and playing like trash then.

Not a fluke, just Wolves have gotten better.
Aaron Gordon, Devin Booker, Tyrese Halliburton, Trae Young, Anthony Edwards and Luka Doncic all made the Conference Finals.
Where’s Joel Embiid?

Wolves got better. The Nuggets players said last year their toughest match was against the TWolves and that was without Jaden McDaniels

Murray aint a superstar. He's been able to channel a superstar for periods of time, but that aint him. They got Murray playing above his head against weak comp
Not a fluke. Just one of the weaker title runs we've seen

I don’t think it’s a fluke, I think there won’t be any repeat champions anytime soon. League is up for grabs the next 5 years.

Wolves definitely got better. It was ANT making a leap and also integrating Gobert.
My rationale ever since day 1 of the Gobert trade was that if Gobert + Mitchell with a bunch of role players could get a #1 seed, Gobert + ANT + KAT + better role players could definitely be a contender.
Nugz look worse this year. Their bench looks worse and Murray looks sort of hobbled. Always said thought the long term health of Murray and MPJ were the big keys in how far their dynasty could go (given that Jokic has been injury free and has a game that should age well).
Brian Geltzeiler: You see Mark Jackson getting a head coaching job as early as next year?
Adrian Wojnarowski: Not if people make calls on him. Not if an organization is doing their homework and knows all the things he brings with him.

Last year's Nuggets were great and their #2 guy played way better than he has this year.
These Wolves are legit though.

Minnesota is a big team with veteran leadership, outstanding defense, good shooting and star power.
Denver didn't get bad. Minnesota is just really good. Nuggets aren't out, but the Wolves just make everything so hard.
If Denver can turn it around, it's going to be the toughest thing they've done in their professional careers.

Wolves are built to kick the Nuggets ass. Saying that, series is still not over. Especially with the best player since Jordan, whose better than prime peak Lebron and is the goat offensive player is in this series.
