A little worrying. I think Rudy is here for a while, at least another season, we really need to work hard this summer getting those two on the same page.


That;s the popular thinking but we need to move Gobert this summer. Admit the mistake and move him while you can still get a decent price for him. He's just the wrong fit here. Not to mention bad locker room chemistry with him.

Once again turnover after turnover. Basta!

MAybe they could move both but I just don't see us getting a lot of value for Rudy (we could get some though). I think KAT could fetch more. It also depends on how we want to build the team out going forward, style of play that is. Either way, they need to do whatever they feel is best to help Ant.

I don't think the Wolves can play a lineup with McLaughlin, Anderson, and Gobert. The Nuggets don't have to guard any of them on the perimeter. I'm tired of seeing Ant trying to score against 3 or 4 defenders every possession.

He just can't play this series, all the DEN guards are too big and fast for him. Unfortunately, we don't have another guy to bring it. Maybe WM Jr. for 3 mins.

Wolves need to take the ball directly at Joker

Jokic is the glue but My God, Murray has been a mega star. That dude can score on anybody.

Every player off the bench has been truly awful so far.

These refs are so inconsistent. One minute it’s playoff basketball the next it’s ticky tack bs.

This series has shown that we really need to upgrade the bench. If we trade Towns or Gobert I would really be interested in getting assets who can add to the team's depth. We need better rebounds, better guards, and shooters. Replace Jmac, Nowell, Rivers with grittier guys who can shoot and we look a lot better. If we have Gobert and KAT still we have totally rework our spacing and style of play.

It's so painful watching Murray play so well. It's like watching Bobby Jackson and Billups after they left Minnesota and found success.

Anytime either is on the court I already know we aren’t getting too many stops

We miss so many shots. Denver never misses anything. Execution levels are leagues beyond us. I am really impressed with how connected those guys are. If they play like this all playoffs they could make a finals.

At this point I actually feel bad for Nowell. You could tell he's lost all of his confidence offensively. He's frustrating but he's capable of being much better then this.

0-4 from 0ft

Denver rebounds and it’s an easy lob dunk to Gordon.

Lol. We are such a stupid team.

The bench has shot 2-14 while being pretty poor on defense. Can Minott really be any worse than what we're currently getting?

I will not go thru another rebuild with this team. I've been thru 34 years of rebuild. No more.

We are being outcoached and outplayed. I hate our offense and I hate our defense.
