Ant limping isn't a great sign.

Ant limping isn't a great sign.

His knee is totally cooked going into these Playoffs. Even if Minnesota wins this series, it is hard to see them making it much further.

[The Warewolf]

Ant limping isn't a great sign.

So sick of the constant injuries. And yet Silver does NOTHING to slow down the pace or make defense easier.

[Chuck Everett]

Murray jumps forward. That's a bad call.

[Ssj16]

Jokic starting off slow. Biding his time, I guess.

[ILC]

Already two BS calls on Julius and Jaden

[Bornstellar]

That was not a reckless closeout

The 65-game rule makes it worse by encouraging players to try to play through injuries. Absolutely awful rule.

[JXL]

If Antman is compromised by his knee, I don't see this series lasting long.

[shrink]

Murray jumps forward. That's a bad call.

Yes! Murray jumped behind the three point line. No momentum forward, but he kicks his feet out so they land two feet inside the line, for no reason. He initiated that contact, no sympathy if the offensive player makes plays that endanger himself to draw fouls.

I hate foulbaiters.

[Domejandro]

Gotta be honest, I really do not like that flagrant call.

[ILC]

lmao flagrant. Jaden was on the ground way before Murray even landed, he literally jumped forward

Completely agree. Silver is a terror who needs to be removed. But the Owners love the slimeball.

[Alatan]

NBA rules are so dumb. A defender cant be anywhere near a shooter or its a foul. And im saying this as a Nuggets fan.

[lethalizer]

That's a good call going by the rule book, can't invade the landing space of the player. We'll see a lot of this during these playoffs and there will be protests, but this has been called all year long.

Jaden shouldn't have slid his feet in there at the last second.

[Dan33185]

So what should be an offensive foul is called a Flagrant 1 on the defense

[SOUL]

Ant limping isn't a great sign.

What does Silver have to do with teams playing with pace?

[Castle Black]

That's a ridiculous flagrant foul call. Nothing reckless about that closeout. Murray jumped a foot forward.

Have you not paid attention to all the rules he instituted over the last decade that led to an increase in pace lol?

[DonaldSanders]

Gotta be honest, I really do not like that flagrant call.

Yeah I don't get it, defenders really are neutered at this point. It's a foul sure but sheesh, a guy moving forward that much shouldn't get a flagrant.
