2024 NBA Playoffs: West Semifinals: #2 Denver Nuggets vs #3 Minnesota Timberwolves (MIN WINS 4-3)

[Tracymcgoaty]

Mcdaniels already with 3 fouls? pfffff

[Chuck Everett]

Porter Jr is attacking the basket hard.

[jokeboy86]

T-Wolves are playing real tight right now.

[SportsGuru08]

Denver looking much more aggressive tonight than in the first two games

[___Rand___]

Twolves crowd shouldn't be complaining about refs. Whistle has been favorable to them letting them play physical.

idk why ESPN refuses to utilize his talent. I assume he just refuses to do the hot-take garbage so they can't put him on anything other than Scott Van Pelt at 1am EST.

Maybe he can go to NBC if they get the NBA?

Agree with ya'll, I dislike almost all commentators but Legler is no gimmicks commentator with good insights and a normal non-annoying voice.

yeah he’s awesome. He’s what I thought Reddick would be, but Reddick is too attached to the current players personally to call a good game I think. Doris is just really bad I think on these calls as well which doesn’t help Reddick, broadcast is too boring.

I really miss JVG. Imagine Breen, JVG and Legler? I think that would be the best crew ESPN could put together.

I liked JVG too but I understand why a lot of people don't. He was very "shower thoughts" in the way he'd call games.

[AleksandarN]

Denver’s rebounding is a lot better

JJ is obviously angling for a HC gig and can't afford to alienate any stars. Legler wants to be a HC but won't pull his punches on any criticism.. which may be why he hasn't gotten a chance to coach yet and JJ is in rumors.

[jehosafats]

I don't think Denver's lead is safe at all

[Chuck Everett]

What kind of call was that. So ticky-tack.

[___Rand___]

Twolves' defense isn't as tight as in game 2.

[picc]

So guys just drive to the rim and Jokic doesn't even attempt to do anything about it despite being right there?

[Statlanta]

Get slo-mo out the game Finch

[___Rand___]

Where is Wolves' defense? It wasn't like this in game 2.

[Domejandro]

Mcdaniels already with 3 fouls? pfffff

It’s been an evenly called, ticky-tack game, but Minnesota really struggles when the game is called tight. I actually feel like Minnesota has gotten more ticky-tack calls in their favour, but this has been a problematic trend all season.

[nzahir]

Kyle Anderson is terrible on offense

Like the dude barely was able to even dribble with nobody on him and was stubbling

Why didnt the wolves move this scrub?

He's good defensively and sufficient ball handler with NAW and Ant on the floor.

The dude just missed an open layup and can barely dribble

Wolves should have moved this scrub

Denver looking a lot better tonight

Wolves offense looking bad

[Patches Perry]

Nuggets look real good. They really are much better when Murray is locked in.

[Dan33185]

Everything falling for the Nuggets, nothing for the Wolves...bad combo

[___Rand___]

Nice move by Murray

[HotRocks34]

The reason Jokic seems passive is that he's looking for the double team. He's waiting to see if the double is coming and then he's passing. He's thinking "pass from double team" before shooting.

Given how he's being played, that's the right mindset.
