I didn't see 80% of the 4th quarter due to being on a call with fiancee during a tornado warning, but just caught the last 5 minutes on Youtube.

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:

To all those Denver fans that said McDaniels and Reid wouldn't have helped last year in the playoffs:

Man it’s gonna feel weird , tuning into watching WCF and realizing Denver isn’t there , I know it’s only one year but kind of feel they’ve been there long time

Last game it was all about Jokic being a father figure to the other Nuggets.

Hopefully Calvin booth pulls his head out of his ass and add the depth that’s needed to win a championship. Mike Malone had to stop playing Peyton Watson

Happy for Minnesota but this isn't some great team in the grand scope


Every team LeBron faced in the East from 2010 to 2018 was inferior to this Wolves team. Every. Single. One.


Yeah that’s gonna be a no dawg.


Yeah are we really gonna act like this Timberwolves team is some stacked team now?

If Bron beat them people would just say they were young and inexperienced/fake contenders like always lol

Joel Embiid is going to feel lonely. The Eastern Conference Finals virgin's counterpart, Rudy Gobert, is going to lose his Western Conference Finals virginity

Ok, but Denver didn't just beat those teams, they destroyed them. Between Brown, healthier Murray and sprier KCP, they had a better roster last year.

Wolve's were phenomenal. Props to them, there is little to no weaknesses on that team.

All Dallas has inside is Gafford and Lively. Townes, Gobert, and Reid should have a decided advantage .

Wth happened in the bubble? Ever since then it seems that HCA doesn't mean much , and in some cases is a disadvantage. Maybe sleeping in a hotel with a team is better for a player 's performance than sleeping at home?

Nah they need a real big man for when Jokic sits. Can’t have Jokic go 1 v 3 against Minnesota again.

Happy to see Malone get knocked down a peg. Dude was talking a little too much after winning one championship. Players can do it but it rubs me the wrong way when a coach does it.

Who’s your daddy? I guess it’s the Wolves now
