Minnesota took too long to call timeout.

Denver showing a championship resolve, I knew they wouldn't go down easy.

Wolves looking like the team that blew it against the Grizz a couple years ago.

Murray looking good. Silver's decision not to suspend may prove to be pivotal.

I expected more from Minnesota on their home court.

“The other day I saw one of his games. He was running with the ball at a hundred per cent full speed, I don’t know how many touches he took, maybe five or six, but the ball was glued to his foot. It’s practically impossible.”

You’d never know Jokic is the MVP on the team right now.

Booing Murray for no reason wasn't a good idea.

Waiting to see how Ant Jordan responds.
Murray can't cook him at home after all that hype.

I don't understand it, either. I don't know if he's trying to save energy or if that helps him be ready for rebounds/passes or something, but it drives me crazy when he keeps his arms down on some plays. It's the only thing that frustrates me watching him.

Minnesota’s defense always falls into the dumpster if the game is called super tight. It’s been a problem throughout the season, haven’t been able to adapt, even if they are also getting calls.

Man, looks like Denver has figured something out. Offense looks way more crisp. The lack of Murray suspension might be huge.

The officiating changes midseason to allow contact like pre pace and space era really benefited Wolves and their defense
If the game is officiated ticky tack and they cant be physical they got no chance. I dont think Denver has turned it over yet which is insane. Wolves ball pressure is nothing if they cant get physical and fouls are called

If Murray had showed up like this in the first two games. it's not 0-2.
In fairness, he's hurt.
Shots are going to be there for The Others all series. They have to take them and make them.
Denver has adjusted to playing like this all season as teams have loaded up on Jokic more. So they should be ready for it.

Last year's run was a 2 man show. But people forgot that. Murry and Jokic were truly magical. Murray has to play like this the rest of the playoffs. Othrewise they don't have a chance.
