Game 3, Round 1 : Denver Nuggets #1 @ Minnesota Timberwolves #8 (2-0)

Denver holds both home matches, now the real deal would be if we win one of the two (or both) away games and finish the whole 1st round series in 5 or 4!

Not sure if are you just sarcastic about KCP, he was literally factor-X in 1st half for the Nuggets.

With 3-10 end of the 1st half Denver fail to finish 1st half with a comfortable double-digit lead, but I'm not complaining against +6.

Tell KCP tackling is not allowed in basketball, time for Brown or Braun

I really like how this series going. Nobody overperforming today (maybe MPJ) while Edwards has 36-7-5, Gobert 18-10 before being fouled out, good 27-7 game for KAT... but we still won in the away game, which tells how good this team is.

The biggest complaint is how we finished last-minute of the quarters.. 0-5 1st, 0-4 2nd, 0-4 3d, so the lead was damaged every time.

Oddly enough after the regular season, I feel like Malone is doing a perfect job with the rotation in the playoffs.

Also, MPJ is doing all the small things and they are paying off. I don't think I have seen him hustle as much and his defense has improved so much. Glad to see him succeeding like he is.

Well, you can add to that how we gave up that 3rd qtr lead last game, not the 1st time we came out flat after halftime. But we are learning how to weather those missteps, and that is a sign of growth and a team maturing into a team with Championship aspirations.

Celtics fan here.
Of course I want us to win it this year but if we don’t I really hope you guys can pull it off just due to the disrespect Jokic gets from the media.
He’s bad defensively but the general public need to start realising he’s one of the best offensive players to play in this league & a championship will validate that.

It's funny, feels like Denver got exactly what they wanted...the MINN fans yelling "We Want Denver"...best possible matchup for US in the playoffs
