Gobert gives the Wolves the lead. I wish for him to continue this just to watch the Frenchman haters react LOL

Ok so jokic wasnt very good in that 3rd but he got himself to the free throw line a couple times and that helped.

If they win and he has a 20/20 game it will be viewed as a monster game and will be remembered as such.

If they lose and hes just as bad in the 4th as the 3rd...it will be remembered as a subpar game and coming up short in a huge game.

Big implants in the next 12 minutes.

Also big implications for the nuggets as defending champs and even how that title is viewed even though its a year later.

You're watching a game 7 for the ages, and your focus is on crapping on the player that turned the Wolves franchise around.

That's not a healthy way to enjoy basketball, man.


They're playing better without him. What else am I supposed to say?


You're supposed to say it's a matchup problem, which it is unless you're gonna claim that Gobert makes them worse on defense, and then go back to witnessing a magnificent game.

That's how you maximize the joy of this sport, IMO. But if you prefer to spend your time fixating on reasons to dislike what your eyes are watching, be my guest. Can't follow you there, though, so have a nice day.

Jokic hasn’t been great offensively. Goaltending call was bs imo and got gifted free throws after that. Expecting him to go off in the 4th.

I wonder which of the Wolves/Nuggets would be an easier/tougher matchup for Mavericks?

That was an awful call.
When people point to FT discrepancy this is what is missed.
A phantom call that gets a team's hottest player their 4th foul is some straight up garbage.


If they really cared that much, Minny would have been called for way more fouls that quarter. Refs swallowed their whistles hard that quarter. But people don't see calls not made/routing for the comeback/underdog. I'm not even saying its one sided but to think the whistle that quarter helped Minny more than it hurt is insane.

Should’ve saw him when AG shanked that dunk in the second quarter and the Joker joined in for the rebound. Golbert just stood under the rim waiving his hands like he caught a bee in his bonnet. Not a top dawg DPOY move.
