can make a solid argument for either but it feels like the Wolves would be more likely to let pressure get to them and play below their usual level

No dimes for Jokic in the half. That's no good.

Kat should play all minutes Jokic plays. Come on. This game is too important.

Spamming Murray/Jokic makes the other 3 Nuggets stagnant

Somebody has got to back cut when Gobert gets the ball b/c DEN is expecting him to just toss it back to the perimeter

Thats kind of the concern with all these teams beating each other up and whoever survives this probably goes 7 with Dallas.

Everybody laughs at the East being the weaker conference, but this a perk of being in the East. The contenders here don't have to go through a gauntlet to get to get to the finals like they do in the West. The Heat have been to the finals 7 times in 18 years. What do you think that number would be if the Heat were in the Western conference?

Bad foul by Nikola Jokić. Rudy Gobert is NOT a threat thirty feet from the basket. :lol:

If Gobert wouldve taken that to the rim and flushed it....pigs would sprout wings.

The refs are letting Minnesota be way more aggressive on defense. They need to let both team defend the same way.
