denver not paying brown + green is just so damn stupid. got cocky and cost themselves another chip by not having quality depth...all b/c of money. inexcusable imho.

Jokic could’ve been better but he played every minute but one. The Nuggets better decide real quick whether or not they basically want to be the West version of the Bucks and think they have a solid #2 or get Jokic a legit one

These Wolves are legends man, you have to take your hat off to them, whatever happens next. Talk about a fanbase that has suffered for so long with truly awful teams. The KG trade, the David Kahn era, Flynn over Curry, the Butler debacle, so many years of bottom feeding and finally they have emerged from basketball oblivion with a team to be proud of. Respect.

Everyone NEED to give Kat his flowers for this game. He was the mvp.


Yup. A lot of people trashing him but he had 23/11 on 8-14 shooting and he, along with Jaden McDaniels, were the only reason the Wolves didn't get run out of the building in the first half.

I thought Jokic would own a 2-3 year window until one of them developed.

It almost feel like Giannis/Jokic’s (HM Embiid) era was barely a blip on the radar and now we’re already on to the next chapter lol like it’s skipping a generation. But I guess we’ll see how Jok & Giannis bounce back. I’m just not sure they can even hold off these young guys.

Yeah we are about to see drastic shift in the perception of one of these guys

Jokic can go back to his horses early. He's ecstatic that they lost.

Wish there was a camera that tracked all of the post-game player handshakes.

Love to see the rapport between the players.

Who can match up with Wolves roster?

Dallas does not have the front court offensively. Also can't shut down Edwards.
Boston doesn't have the front court.
Pacers doesn't have the offence.
