Jokic showing he's head and shoulders above the bigs in this series.

You don’t rebound and then give up multiple 3s and layups, you deserve to lose. It’s fundamental basketball.

Refs have been absolutely horrible in this game towards both teams with the exception of ignoring all kinds of fouls by Jokic.
What a joke.

Why is Gobert even in the game? We are in desperation 3 mode and then we need to foul and he has 5 fouls. Also not useful on a press

Rudy what are you doing bud lolll

What exactly is the purpose of having Gobert out there if he can't defensive rebound even when you don't ask him to guard Jokic?

I hope we all see this team is close. They ran a Gobert/Towns double screen with Ant. I still think this team is close. No need to trade Towns/Gobert. Just need a shooter, a good backup ptg. Get everyone healthy. Looking forward to next season.

Wolves covered the Vegas spread.

Ant is the only player on this team worth building around. Trade everyone else.

Our problem last playoffs was rebounding and interior defense. In our most crucial moment the player we traded for to fix that problem couldn't get a rebound. We need more than just a "shooter" and a decent backup PG.

Is this Ants (to this point in his career) signature moment coming up?

All the gloom and doom talk in a game we haven't even lost yet. We are playing the #1 seed and if we had our whole team we win this series. I think the future is very bright for this team just the way it is.

A little better defensive rebounding, a little better FT shooting, or a little better 3pt shooting would have won the game.

Jokic did his MVP thing and sealed it. Impressive that we played this game so closely with all the injuries. That said, I wish we played like this from the start. I think through this series we have discovered a few useful things about this team. Let's hope we have a very productive summer.

So close!

No Naz, no Jaden, no Kyle Anderson and only lost by 3

Ironically this was the first time that I loved this team all year. Bring 'em all back!!

Towns 26-11-3 didn't do much for you? Who ya going to get better than that. Highly unlikely.
