You’d hardly know Gobert played tonight

If Embiid didn't get suspended for directly hurting Robinson then Murray wasn't getting suspended for that nonsense.

One day a player will murder another player "man the F up and win the series with everyone (besides the murdered guy) on the court, who cares?"

LOL comparing a heat pack being thrown on the court to murder. Listen to yourself mannnn

Well you're defending someone for throwing things on the court, which to my knowledge has never been done before. No one was stupid enough to do it. "but you can't suspend him because it's the playoffs".

So you can pretty much do anything and get away with it because, it's the playoffs.

The Wolves should honestly just bench Gobert for the rest of the series. They're much better without him.

This will be like the Suns vs Bucks Finals. Bucks won 4 straight after everyone wrote them off with 2-0 Suns lead.

Yeah that feels like a logical, non exaggerated leap

Embiid literally hurt a dude with his dangerous BS... now that was suspension worthy.

Murray is an idiot and deserved a hefty fine. Hope you're not a Wolves fan because trying to win a series like that is so weak lol.

Or perhaps it's just a player throwing something on the court? It's not that big of a deal.

Suspending players for nonsense, reducing overall talent on the floor is a terrible idea

And if they tie things up at 2-2 and we head back to Denver for day 5 we’ll all do the about face and act like Denver is back in the drivers seat this series.

It’s crazy how fast our opinions change during the playoffs man

It is all about momentum. The Wolves were in the driver's seat. Sh#%ty tick-tack calls and coming out ice cold hurt them. Then Jamal Murray showed up and looks like he is healthy again.

I had Denver in 7 and that may come true, but it doesn't happen if this game is officiated like the rest of the playoffs. If this is how the game is called then good luck defending the Nuggets.

The way the Nuggets came out tonight and the relatively lower energy level from the Wolves (which I don't blame them for, their defensive intensity in game 2 was AWESOME, but it wasn't sustainable) I just don't think there was any way the Wolves were winning this game no matter how the refs called it.

Conley has been pretty terrible tonight.

They gave LeBron a ring for a nut-shot. So make it make sense then.

Not a single Minny player played well. Exact opposite of game 2 for both teams.

Marvin Martian · Post #4713 » by **Marvin Martian** » Sat May 11, 2024 3:53 am

Gobert needs to step up next game. Otherwise what was the point of that big trade? He is a 4 time DPOY. It's time to start playing like it.

___Rand___ · Post #4714 » by **___Rand___** » Sat May 11, 2024 3:53 am

It's over when Wolves couldn't make a run to start the 3rd. If you can't cut into the lead it's done.

Jokic with 3 blks and 3 stls.

Difference being, Suns won 2 at home, and Budenholzer finally decided to stop playing drop vs Paul and Booker...

TheFire · Post #4717 » by **TheFire** » Sat May 11, 2024 3:54 am

I don’t think the refs really favored any team but the gam was definitely reffed differently than the first 2.

jokeboy86 · Post #4718 » by **jokeboy86** » Sat May 11, 2024 3:54 am

Think the days off and all the talking head discussion may have got to the t-wolves. Made them come out really tight

That idiot had a history of BS and that's actually a direct hit on another player. Now I still didn't agree with the suspension at the time but I also have 0 sympathy for constant repeat offenders.

Who wins GAME 7 and goes to the WCFs?
