Denver’s worst shooters have been on fire. They are outshooting our best. Fate has conspired against us.

It was wide open any player not on the Wolves would have drained it.

The nuggets have had open 3s all night. Disgusting

Besides couple fall down and please for call fouls they gotten, this game has nothing to do with the referring.

We are being out executed big time since mid 2nd quarter.

What game are you watching. We're getting every little ticky foul called.

We are definitely getting the short end of the stick from the refs today.

It's the same Scott Foster level it's been called all game (same as 4th Suns game). Set the standard from get go. Besides the bs fall downs, and one foul on Rudy early, its not been anything egregious or one sided.

Jokic sat most of 3rd due to foul trouble. Mpj and Murray semi foul issues too.

They beating us by hitting everything from 3 and we not responding with any good offense Besides Ant.

They are working harder, playing smarter AND getting a more favorable whistle. Yet we’re still hanging around.

If we just did the first two things better we’d win without question.

And way more composed.

Denver is better than us with a regular whistle. They didn't give that in games 1 & 2. It's so obvious that the NBA needs to lax the foul calls to create a more entertaining product, but they won't. This is why the NFL is lightyears ahead of marketing their product and get 10x the views.

Unfortunately I think this is true. Denver is better than us. They get good shots. Their offense makes the game look easy. And their role players are getting open shots and making them. Our role players need to create or take tough shots and they are incapable. NAW has been particularly awful. And we play too many non-shooters: Gobert, Anderson, McDaniels to have NAW be bad.

Murray was limping around the first couple days and we were allowed to play ultra physical. Healthy with a normal whistle, we a

It’s both,

Even if Ant is best player on court Denver somehow has the 2nd to 5th best.

“Worst shooters” tend to look better when they have wide-open looks.

Gordon shooting like that is why we are losing.

Rotations. Rudy got caught watching, couldn't rotate to Gordon, Conley had to cover, Gordon swang it to Braun. Rudy had to cover that rotation.

Just can’t miss

We've got the offense working, but we have to get some stops.

Rudy is getting cooked. Exposed. Hard.

BlacJacMac · Post #194 » by **BlacJacMac** » Mon May 13, 2024 2:12 am

Jokic misses a bunny and then Ant throws it away.

Rudy and Kat killing us...

nah...even the worst shooters don't shoot better than 40% from wide open looks from 3..there is lot of tracking data. Sometimes even terrible shooters might have a stretch where they are extremely hot from 3. PJ Washington has been shooting 32% from 3 before playoffs but he is shooting like 60%+ from 3 in this Thunder series...happened with Caleb Martin last year in ECF vs Celtics

Gordon has been unreal, he was maybe the best player on the floor in the first half. Just amazing on both ends.

Shaka_Zulu · Post #198 » by **Shaka_Zulu** » Mon May 13, 2024 2:16 am

It's insane. 3 minutes left and Reggie Miller just said first miss of the evening for Gordon.

I was wrong. I thought Jaden would bring it tonight.

Twolves got to have either Towns or McDaniel bring it to another lever or we are toast in this series.

Is Denver to Edwards what Detroit was to Mike?
