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

[Manimal]

Average margin of victory in this series has been 21.3 pts. Absolutely wild for a series going 7.

[GSP]

Game 7 will be one for the ages. Great series overall.

Is it a great series when theres only been 1 great and competitive game? 5/6 games have been blowouts almost wire to wire.

[MetalFingaz]

Wonder if the Nuggets ban fans for Game 7 to try and get Murray to show up.

[TravisScott55]

any good show recommendations? Think I am done with this game.

Have you watched Reacher yet? Loved it.

Of course lol, one of my favorite shows

[TimberKat]

Fallout is a new show that I've liked so far. Believe it's based on the game, which I haven't played.

I’ll have to check it out, I’ve been meaning to but just haven’t gotten around to it

Fallout was excellent. Highly recommend!

Show makes no sense. Way too many plot holes.

LMAO nearly losing by 50. MJ never let this happen in the playoffs, neither did LeBron.

Both atleast have great number 2 teammates, who does Jokic have? Murray? lol

Murray may not be the best #2 of all time but + MPJ + Gordon is a pretty solid top 4.

That doesn’t mean anything. They’re role players. None of them are anything close to Scottie Pippen or Rodman

[Wile E. Coyote]

They should be thoroughly embarrassed by that close-out game performance.

[AleksandarN]

Jokic folded

He settled for 3pt shots all night when he could've been on the past. Loser mentality

Loser mentality ok Lol hilarious. Life of a Lakers fan must be sad. Enjoy the little petty moments lol

Murray has been one of the most productive 2 guards in the NBA during the playoffs for the last few years. Everyone says that Murray is one of the most clutch players in the playoffs, which I agree to. But now he's not good anymore, and people choose to ignore his accomplishments?

[therealbig3]

Maybe one of the most boring 7 game series I can think of. Almost every game has been a blowout or just an overall very convincing win. These teams are evenly matched but it really doesn't look it game to game. One team just looks overwhelmingly better than the other, it's just not always the same team lol.

[Chuck Everett]

Lead after the first quarter:

Game 1: Nuggets by 2 (Wolves win)
Game 2: Wolves by 8 (Wolves win)
Game 3: Nuggets by 8 (Nuggets win)
Game 4: Nuggets by 5 (Nuggets win)
Game 5: Nuggets by 2 (Nuggets win)
Game 6: Wolves by 17 (Wolves win)

So the team leading after the first quarter is 5-1 in this series. Basically, makes the case that when these two are clicking, it's hard to come back. I think this portends to a very close game in Game 7, since every possession from here on out is do or die.

yea, MJ and LeBron were getitng swept

LOL, Yeah they were!

They literally lost by 50 in the playoffs?

And it’ll be another blowout. Thats been the theme of this series.

MJ never got swept in his prime though, and that was before Scottie his teammates were pretty awful and they faced Bird's Celtics twice in a row it wasn't even a fair fight. It's almost as if teammates matter. Jordan scored 62 in one game and Celtics still won.

[Infinite Llamas]

Murray only plays well when the fans boo.

Nuggets fans need to boo him.

[Alatan]

I hate this Denver team. Murray playing like a **** headless chicken and MPJ trying to outdo him.

Love the fact he was mia for the last 3 games. Those petty moments are hilarious.

[Badlands]

For fun, here are a few comments on this board when Denver led 9-2

"Welp that's game lol"
"Joker beating these guys in transition. Does minny wanna win?"
"Damn, Nuggets came to play."
"Surprised how fast & loose DEN is playing, I thought MIN would be the aggressor."
"Nuggets want to close this out. Wolves aren't prepared."
"This is the mentality of a champion. Of a mature team. You don't **** around. You don't care it's away game. you come to play."

[therealbig3]

Meh, this sounds like a super arbitrary thing to hold against Jokic. So what? It's one game. His team is still 3-3 and in position to advance, with a game 7 at home.

I mean, maybe not 45 points, but LeBron and Jordan have been blown out pretty badly in multiple playoff games, including elimination games. This wasn't even an elimination game. If they win game 7 by 1 point, this game literally doesn't matter.

[metalinguss]

Jokic went to the locker room with 11 seconds left. I remember all the negative comments when LeBron left with a few seconds left.

Of course, in reality, neither was a big deal.

They don’t shake hands until the series is over.
