No.

We play better rested. We use up a ton of energy on D.

Jokic has to get a lot of the blame for tonight. Gobert was out of action and he still insisted on setting everybody up. He should have been in attack mode all night but when they say he’s not a scorer its true. This whole approach of hoping Murray will eventually shoot his way out of a slump during the game seems stupid and foolish

Thin air has gassed the nuggets.

1) Healthy playoff Murray
2) Someone to defend Ant

Healthy Murray wouldn't matter here. He's getting abused by his defenders. All the credit goes to Minnesota and why Murray looks like trash.

Yeah Towns played great. The best player on the court tonight

Gordon is too slow. Ant hit him with a monster crossover in game 1 and sent him into the shadow realm.

He blew by him in the first half too :lol:

not gonna work

That was a late whistle.

Man oh man I did not anticipate this smiling assassin side of Ant AT ALL...

Those guys shooting is part of the gameplan. They have limited ceilings for your offense.

For what it is worth, Minnesota's defensive gameplan is to completely eliminate Aaron Gordon's offensive game, but Minnesota pivoted away from that tonight, with Rudy Gobert out tonight.

He bumped Towns on the 3pt shot right after that too. No call.
Jamal was awful tonight. Not just sh#% play but whining, crying, fouling and throwing the f#@king heat pack on the court during live play?

dude needs to grow up

Denver is going to be ready to play next game - Murray should have rested if that would help - at least at halftime -

Sorry Nuggets fans, no way you’re stealing BOTH games in Minny. This series is over.

Game 3 should be interesting. No way denver goes down without a fight

Jokic is getting clowned on and rightfully so for his pathetic performance on both ends but I still want to see him with an actual star. He doesn’t have the weapons that some of the other all time greats had.

No way Minnesota wins games 1 and 2 in Denver!

Who wins GAME 7 and goes to the WCFs?
