Sure we're looking forward to the 5 days off of rest and recuperation. MINN will be a more defensive, physical kind of series, I'll say Nuggets in 6 or 7

Gotta say our experience will make a big difference in this series. While ANT is developing into that impact player, it doesn't feel like DEN played up to their potential in the Lakers series. And honestly, the Suns WERE pushovers in their series vs the Wolves. That said, our lack of bench production will impact at least one game in this series.

Home court advantage is a big thing in this series, so we must protect it!

Strange 44-40 low point 1st half.

Denver isn't repeating. Murray sucks and Joker is drunk every game

Despite 32p Jokic in reality underperformed today (7 turnovers, no double-double, 11-25 is not good shooting) while Murray was literally scoreless in 1st half, but the true reason for the loss is that Denver turned from an atomic defense in the 1st half (allowed 40p) to no-defense in 2nd half (allowed 66p).
We just lost home-court advantage and since now every home game in this series is a MUST-WIN game, and we need to steal some a win in Minneapolis.

Both players had subpar games and it was still close. Isnt that a sign of better things to come for Denver?

The West is ALOT tougher than the East this season. Its not even close, top heavy, and the results in regular season for overall matchups vs East and west shows it. East having mainly just Boston as elite team, while rest are no match or as high performing as most of the west was.

Nah, more parity in the West and only one team in the East, and we swept them this season,,you know the team that kicked the Heat out on their tail

The Bucks are an elite team too, but playing without Giannis (even Lillard in two games) is way too much to survive even 1st round.
