Wouldn’t the same teams just have played in the conference finals?


Not necessarily, matchups matter a lot in NBA.

Did Jaden McDaniels really try to do a bounce off the floor oop to himself with the game out of reach? He's lucky KCP didn't undercut him for that and it would have been justifiable.

Did Anthony Edwards really wave at the classy Denver fans as though he was "the" reason they won? They've got ridiculous talent in both the starting lineup and rotation and they certainly weren't some underdogs.

I can tell both these dudes are not classy and definitely didn't have father figures in their life if that's how they behave. Yikes. :lol:

Yeah it’s almost like they threw a heat pack on the court during play….

We need to let the playoffs play out, but if the Wolves win the championship, it will change the narrative on this Nuggets team more than likely. To me, they just got beat by a better team. No excuses can be made. This board was slandering Rudy Gobert the entire series and in the end, it was the Wolves defense, the reason he was brought to the franchise (#1 in the league) that ousted the champs.

I guess the only way for Rudy to beat the slander with this bunch is for them to hoist the Larry O'Brien.

You are overreacting and perhaps a sore loser too.

What they did is fine, some guys just excited for the biggest win of their young careers. You let them be and you suck it up.

:lol: My team just lost in heart breaking fashion and I don't care about any of this stuff. Just like I don't care about Malone being a dick to reporters asking stupid questions. Let these guys who just battled have their emotions. Doesn't hurt anyone at the end of the day.

McDaniels having good game offensively and making shots was the huge difference in last couple of games

I said it before and I will say it again. When Ant said “the have KD, but we have Jaden McDaniels,” he was both a poet and a prophet. They have Luka, but we have Jaden.

Or simply find another spark plug like Bruce Brown was for them. But retooling is an option too.
Denver could use Tyus Jones to sub for Murray.

Eh Gobert already cast out those ghosts this series. Ring or no ring, he’ll be seen differently now since finally he was able to beat Jokic.

Isn’t Westbrook going to be available? Bring him in off the bench. Get the man a championship

I thought the same after he(well, the whole Minny team, but... yout get it) shut down the Mid-3 in the previous series... but even mid-way through this game people were calling for him to get benched. The player on Minnesota with the best +/- for the entire playoffs and the ingoramuses wanted him benched. This is one of those series where you realize just how little people actually see when they watch a team play defense. Like... 95% of the viewers are CLUELESS!! What's more shocking is that some players who are supposed to have super high bball IQ like Draymond fall in that category too.
