He’s back
Man Ant getting this playoff experience early in his career will make him a champion once he hit his prime .
Great NBA playoffs
Edward's has NO FEAR.
Ant Man A1
Jamal Murray is a very Talented Player and i believe they can Reach the Finals if he still Plays like this and of course Healthy.
while this young Man Anthony Edwards is going to be very good offensive Player in the Years to Come.
Call me crazy but if minny would just let Edward's cook in the games everybody else would be open they are all over this man and he is still on fire. Instead of trying to force feed the bigs get Edward's to carry the offense and the rest will flow
This is Murray’s first spectacular game since returning from injury. He’s had good stats most of the year but this one he was locked in.
Wolves has a good future in Townes and Edwards. They just need to dump that overpaid tower.
First game minnesota play basketball and they lose easily. Second game they physically beat up Denver players with the help of the referees and they lost easily. Third game give them fire guns, maybe then they will have a chance to win.
I was not a Denver fan, or a fan of an NBA league at all (and I'm still not), but when I see every day what they are doing to Jokić and Denver in general, how much injustice, humiliation, bad treatment, open racism, neglect, rejection, now I'm with Denver with all my heart and I would like more than anything if Denver destroys them all!
Awesome throwback when Jamal and donovan mitchell went at it
Rudy is so overrated
Ant is so good
Bro this game was so lit!
KAT is garbage t wolves should trade him
ant better
if Murray keeps playing like this, I can see Denver coming out of the West.
Murray and Ant were both -1 for the game. I thought Murray threw the Nuggets offense out of sync by going hero ball. Overall probably good for his confidence going forward but this kind of thing will end the Nuggets post season run early if it continues.
playoff Murray!!!
Jamal in the playoffs so far
32 PPG
5.5 REB
6.5 AST
Such a battle!!! Murray is unbelievable. Ant showing why exactly he's so highly rated. Now let's see what happens in Minnesota. Playoffs are nonpareil sheesh…😮😊
Ant-Man Is Special….
Antman is the future of the NBA he just need to come to the wizards and win a championship
Jamal babyyyyy💪💪💪🏀
The shot at the 3 minute mark looked just like prime Mike!!!!! Ant next year is going to be the same age MJ was coming into the league and if he starts getting 27 PPG then I’m 100% sold! He is the modern day Michael Jordan!
Playoff Jamal!! Not Bubble Jamal anymore!!
as a fan, this is what you want.
Edwards is gonna be an Allstar for many years to come. He just gotta get the hell outta of Minnesota as soon as he can😂
Ant man will rise for sure
Then, they called this kind of performance as "Bubble Murray". Now, we should call it as "Playoff Murray."
Edwards already broke the franchise record in points in a Playoff game and it's just his 8th Playoff game. He's gonna break a lot of records in his career.
Jamal Murray is one of the most slept on stars in the league they talk of Donovan Mitchell so much but forget this kid went back to back with him some nights he the best player on his team even with the two time mvp
0:02 that's an illegal screen by Jokic if I've ever seen one
