Still impacted the game with his defense, rebounding and passing though

Dude is a dick...

Nah - this is a real and raw answer. I appreciate it. F being politically correct. Don't be soft.

Real and raw?

He’s cursing out a reporter who asked him a legit question. They choked a 20 point second half lead at home. And he’s basically brushing that under the rug and cursing out a reporter and on top of it saying “stupid ass questions”.

It’s a question any reporter would have asked. It’s not the reporters fault his dumb a*s didn’t manage the game correctly and didn’t get Joker any rest at all and mismanaged that run by the wolves.

Yea we don’t need more of that when you have kids at home watching this.

Welp folks that's a wrap. Nice try twolves

Similar numbers have been enough in a game 7 on the biggest stage if you remember. Doesn’t have to put up MJ numbers

[Chocolate City Jordanaire]

Conley finally won a game 7!

Interestingly, Kyrie Irving has never lost a game 7.

Wolves won 3-1 in the regular season against the Mavs with Game 4 being a blowout.

And they lost both season series to the nuggets and suns. Season dont mean **** nowadays

The Suns swept the Mavericks and Wolves in convincing fashion the years they got eliminated by both.

During the regular season both teams looked absolutely helpless when faced with the mighty Phoenix Suns. In the playoffs, quite the opposite

Exactly, and to boot when bringing up 3-1 in favor of Minnesota all of those games were before the trade deadline which means Mavs didn't have two of their current five starters. And on top of that either Luka or Kyrie missed every game Minnesota won the only time we had Luka + Kyrie we won, and that was before PJ Washington or Daniel Gafford. So I mean completely meaningless to what's going to happen.

Kobe doesn’t haunt C’s fans from that win. Artest does.

Just like McDaniels will haunt Denver fans when they think back to this game.

[Chocolate City Jordanaire]

That was pretty amazing from the Wolves. Bending but not breaking in a game 7, when you are down 20 against the defending champs is pretty remarkable, and probably not even their fans thought they were capable of. Now they have all the self-belief in the world, if they thought they'd need any more. Obviously, Denver should have won a low scoring game up 20, they will have to make the painful admission and will probably not forget this one for a while. Kudos to both teams.

This loss was soul crushing.

Denver might not recover.

The statistic they showed during the game was revealing: the Nuggets now with 0-12 record when kept under 100 points, and of these games six were against the Wolves. The Wolves have the Nuggets completely figured out defensively.

[Chocolate City Jordanaire]

The Inside guys are always so clueless. Jeff Green got paid 8 million from Houston. Denver couldn't match it without his bird rights. Brown got 22 million. They didn't let them go. This is what's going to happen to role players of all title contenders/champs moving forward with the new CBA.

The best GMs sign the right players long term.

Completely figured out and they still lost 3 games.
I guess they figured out that who has more points in the end, wins the game.

In the case of Jeff Green, there was talk that he might retire, so he only signed a vet minimum with Denver. The only reason why he is in Houston is because they offered him 3/24 of their capspace, which Denver did not have. Bruce Brown was a journeyman. And we see Indiana got rid of him as soon as they could. In fact, Haliburton complained that Bruce didn't always give him the ball and run the floor. If a guy is on a BAE contract, the most you can give them is two years.

Until they get a competent bench piece, or a quality starter.

Last year's roster absolutely wins this series in 5. Denver looked like they did all regular season.

The Nuggets' weaknesses were already in display against the Lakers, when they were down in all games at the half. Denver's bench is next to non-existent, as the Wolves have for example the 6th man of the year at the bench. Certainly it was clear that Denver is not some kind of unbeatable super team and if anyone can beat them it it is this Wolves team.

I totally get that. Also, Gasol should’ve won FMVP that year instead of Kobe. Good ol’ times lol

If you they had a 6th man scorer, its not solved at all. Denver's weak bench was clear at beginning of season and up to last game in playoffs.
