The Nuggets GM is a fool and Jokic covers for his mistakes. The Nuggets bench was a weakness all year and then when injuries happen it only gets magnified.

Who was the last team to win a playoff series after losing the first two games at home? I know the Rockets did that in one of their title years, but I'm wondering if anyone else has done that since

I thought MN would blow it there for a bit, but Ant man restored me trust.

That calf was fine vs the Lakers. Wolves play defense.

Lol Edwards truly is that guy. I had my doubts last year if I'm being honest but I'm fully convinced now

Once I saw Jokic in commercials, I knew Denver weren’t repeating

It is crazy that Reggie thinks Nori is the head coach because he’s the one walking around.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Yeah it is pretty damn obvious he shouldn't be out there. He is moving like a 34 year old James Harden right now. Just can't get by anyone, has awful lift and is short on damn near everything.

Are we seriously blaming injury for Murray's poor play?

Sure he did champ



Drake brought out receipts and absolutely wrecked Kendrick. :lol:

The pedophilia accusations are just that - accusations. Nothing was proven and everything was accused.


you should've said Wolves are beating up the Nuggets just like Kendrick did to his women.....that would hit harder

anyways back to basketball

2 of those 57 were worth 2 wins though. Not all baskets are valued the same.

True but that won't matter if he isn't good enough to get his team into position to make another two that matter.

Still a good player, too streaky maybe but he’s not DeAngelo Russell or any of those fake starters quality.

Edwards shoulder injury makes sense, the best player of every team Okc plays has to be injured apparently.

Aaron Gordon has a team high 17 points for the Nuggets.

Cavs did it against Boston in 2018. Not sure if that was the last though

Edit - just saw at home, nvm

I almost admire the way you can always consistently find something negative to say no matter what. Even tonight, the most dominant performance in Minnesota playoff basketball history and you're here upset that Kyle Anderson isn't shooting well.

He would look fine if he was playing Dallas. He is getting locked up. Ask yourself why everyone looks a step slower on the floor for Denver. It's because they getting locked up.
