Game 3 - Denver Nuggets Vs Minnesota Timberwolves 830pm BSN/ESPN

[Calinks]

6 points from the bench so far. KA has done nothing for us again tonight. Where has his magic gone?

Denver's gameplan is really good. They have shut down a ton of our stuff. Tonight Towns finally gets going a bit but then Kyle is totally erased and Ant isn't the same as the other night. They are playing at such a high level, we never every bit of juice to beat them. No Naz and Jaden are massive right now because we need it all. They are just playing that much better.

[UnFadeable21]

If we can’t get the lead with no Jokic on the floor, we got
No chance

[Calinks]

Is towns trying on d at all??

Brown made tough shots those last two, KAT had a hand all in his face, still made it. The these guys have no problem hitting shots over bigger players right now, they just ballin out. That wasn't terrible d.

Bruce brown of all people smh

[FrenchMinnyFan]

Slomo should talk less but do more when it matter. We play well, just difficult to win with no bench.

[Calinks]

The Denver Buckets.

Nowell is so bad that I want JMcL bad in the game

[Calinks]

Going to need one hell of a 4th to win this. We need to get turnovers or something, Denver is not missing any shots out there. They are on fire. Need to disru[t them somehow.

Nowell is so bad. Why not try minnott here???? Finch!!!!

[Muskies97]

Denver makes more heavily contested shots than any team I've ever seen in my life

Finch is Thibs 2.0 regarding playing young players.

[Nick K]

Denver is shooting 58% field and 44% from 3.

Wolves 47% and 33%. Only down by 6. I don't know how so we still have a shot.

Thibs is doing great in NY this year. You would think we can put Minnott in for 2 to 4 mins to just play some 1-1 D

One thing this series has established is that McLaughlin and Nowell are completely unplayable in the playoffs (I'd also add Rivers to that list even though he hasn't played all that much).

Totally agree. We can't compete without a bench. Which make me more angry against Jaden. We miss Reid too....

[TimberKat]

It's actually very encouraging three qtrs of basketball. They were able to leverage Gobert. Towns got some scoring going. Ant got going. We don't have too many dumb turnovers. DEN just playing too well and too lucky.

[Muskies97]

This feels like playing 2k on Hall of Fame difficulty where the CPU makes every shot

[Klomp]

Holy crap! Denver's execution is so elite. They make every big shot, KCP, Porter Jr, Jokic, Murray, they just keep nailing these big buckets when they need it. So poised.

Heavy shades of the SA Spurs w/ Duncan.

Honestly, that's spot on. They have a system. They have guys who've played this system for years on years, and plug in gaps with guys who know their roles.

Conley has been ass this series man

Yep, this is why the playoffs are so important. It really exposes your flaws. Denver has gone through this process many times and they are now able to be a well oiled machine. We are learning now. Jmac, Nowell seem unusable. Have to question Karl's ability to help going forward too. Got to look at the style of play, see its flaws, strengths, everything. All of this is really important information to get.
