Maybe for a neutral. :lol:


Who are you pulling for?


I've been a bandwagon Denver fan since I guess maybe 2020. Watched a billion of their games.

Brother you thought low enough of the wolves to say buddy hield can hold the wolves off until steph gets back...

Now they're unbeatable by just handling a steph less warriors?? :)

Yeah I hate their offense. No way you should struggle this much against a zone with all of their skilled players.

OKC is so damn deep that J-Dub being a dud #2 will probably still not prevent them from winning it all.

I see it opposite. I don’t see how Minny beats either of these teams. I don’t think Minny has looked that good, maybe I’m biased
I'm with you, not sure how people seemed impressed w Minny so far. They haven't been tested yet

Sick game. I don't really care who wins and neither team is playing great but it's still good ass competition. That's all.

No you’re not biased

Minny can’t beat any of them even if they run lineups of 5 Lonnie’s Walkers each

Denver's defense was great most of the series. This game, it's just been trash.
