Wolves outplaying Nuggets by a lot, if not for good whistle this would be even worse for the Nuggets...

Jokic looks shook. Murray invisible.

Getting ready for the overreactions. Wolves playing solid tho and they are playing against some bad reffing as well.

But it would be foolish to think the Nuggets are cooked by any stretch of the imagination.

He's shooting 39 percent on 3s this year. Not sure that is a good idea.

For what it is worth, I'm less convinced about that being a sustainable figure. I expect him to get hot one night, but he is very streaky.

At this point, Nuggets giving up a big lead in the 1st and then trying to claw back into the game is tradition...

21-12 with a very Nuggets favourable whisyle, TO is more than justified.

On only 157 attempts and he doesn't look 100%, unless they get punished from it I think it's a decent strategy to start.

This broadcast team sucks. Reggie Miller, I apologize.

Literally zero people on the planet asked for Candace Parker.

we spent 3 hours trashing Poeltl, but Poeltl runs the floor like a tiger compared to Jokic...

Gobert is defending his arse off.

Rudy with some incredible defense on Nikola that possession, damn.

Gobert can't play in the playoffs!

This is some good ass basketball.

Nuggets' defense on PnR is simply awful.

This has been their identity since winning the championship. I don't remember the last time they actually punched first in a playoff game
