Yeah I'm wondering that too. Not sure who I'd rather the Mavs face, both present their own individual problems.

The wolves out executed the nuggets in game 1 in the 4th in Denver and if they could do it again in game 7 that would be incredibly impressive.

If Wolves can pull this off, this will be a legendary game...coming back from 20 points down vs defending champs in G7 in their home would be insane

Of course Rudy comes in and scores a bucket and then an assist

This game has everything

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.

Rudy Gobert will airball a floater and then hit a double twirl fade-away And-1. :lol:

Does the DEN crowd know they're supposed to cheer when their team scores not the Wolves??? It's like a Home game for the Wolves...

So they're playing better without him, yet he somehow has a positive plus/minus.

Sure.

Wanted to say this earlier - but the Nuggets jersey choice as well as the Mavericks jersey choice yesterday for their games is awful. I just want to see classic jerseys in the playoffs with classic colorways UNLESS the alternative is elite.

Wolves picked the right jersey.

I won’t be against an overtime Game 7 too. We’re spoiled like that. LOL
