Insanely soft foul calls on defense for both sides (haven’t liked any of the four calls). I’m concerned.

Ant Edwards would be a god in beach volleyball. That spike game would be absurd.

Murray's horrendous defense is messing up Denver's entire scheme.

The Wolves will need to continue to make 3s to win if they are calling it tight

Someone tell Tony's Brother that we came to watch basketball not him and his team blowing a whistle every 45s

Why doesn’t Legler call more games? He’s easily ESPN 2nd most valuable bb personality next to Breen. Guy can do it all

It's gonna be a grind it out game. Wolves bread and butter.
From a fundamental standpoint it is better for a man to have nothing but be under the protection of Jesus Christ than for him to have everything he could ever want yet be completely without.

Murray is wrecking every single Denver defensive possession. He's trailing the play then flailing to find someone to guard.

Scheme buster.

Yep this is going to be a hard game, refs not going to allow physical game tonight. They gotta be perfect on their swipes, blocks, and charge placements

Not surprised the refs are calling touch fouls against the Wolves....they were allowed to play very physical and aggressive defense in game 2 which was a big reason Nuggets looked flustered.
