Minny going all the way, they really do have everything and are very hungry, focused and playing as a team

even if Denver can play them even or with a slight advantage in the Jokic mins, there's just no way for them not get obliterated in the 10 mins he's off the floor and I think the Wolves might win the Jokic mins too, unless Malone tries some curveball strategy

Quick start by the TWolves.

Shaq on vacation??

Cool to have Dirk subbing in!

No they each get a day off they just subbing the guys out for a day off. I think Chuck is next. Kenny already has his day off.

Cool. Understood.

True.

Dirk was awesome, BTW. I like the German band that they played for Chuck. :lol:

Im telling you Ant is going to be the next big American superstar. He has a chance to be the best player in the world.

I have a bet on the Wolves for the series and WCF... So I like this start but damn I still worry about the altitude, Denver just loves this stuff, but hopefully Minny being younger has more wind.

I can’t believe people said “Jayson Tatum” was the next American face of the league after the Steph/Bron generation

It’s Ant. By a landslide. He’s gonna be as big as Kobe

If the Nuggets are going to lose the first quarter of every game in this series, expect them to get swept.

Naz Reid and Jaden McDaniels missed the entire series.

Kyle Anderson went out after Anthony Edwards slapped his eye going for a block.

Rudy Gobert had back spasms.

Karl-Anthony Towns and Jordan McLaughlin were returning from calf strains.

Denver likely wins regardless, but Minnesota was pretty physically cooked, at the end of last season.

Handful of players. And some got banged up during the series.

I've said it for weeks. He is going into Team USA looking at Steph/LeBron like MJ did w/ Magic and Bird. "You guys had a nice run, but its MY turn now"

6th straight playoff game Denver has come out flat for. Minnesota is a lot better than LA so I'm not sure they'll be able to get away with it.

Minnesota is a huge team with length

Jokic is going to need to be legendary in this playoff series to win if Murray continues this type of play.

Ya, I don't want to overreact, but the Wolves might be the best team in basketball, but we just don't want to say because, ya know, they're the Minnesota Timberwolves.

There isn't anyone to guard him. Edwards is gonna drop 50 tonight.

The league will soon be Ant's

Wolves were the #1 scoring team and the best defense? That's a juggernaut.

Who wins GAME 7 and goes to the WCFs?
