Bro Gobert is washed get him out of the roster spot already. Jokic destroyed the timberwolves defense whenever Gobert is on him because Gobert keeps giving him space to work with.
I haven't seen a weaker center in Gobert playing as long as he has. Conley and Gobert played together in Utah, but in Minnesota during the playoffs, they play like they just met. I fear Minnesota will lose Antman because of the bad deal called Rudy Gobert.
jokic should be MVP
These highlights were made the same way when you were asked to make a 1000 word essay and you just repeat and prolong sentences
4-0 sweep.
At this point Anthony Edwards is just getting playoff experience for his next team.
Wolves defense at the end is so horrible 😭
What more can edwards even do right now ? He can’t ask his 7 footers to help them when both collapse on defense n no show on offense
Said before, say it again…Minnesota gave up too much for a slow-footed, low rebounding, zero offense center
A big man that can pass is unstoppable
Nuggets are just playing with their food.
Iyak agoyyy 3-0 yawa 🙈👎
Towns scores 27 points but gives up 50 through lousy defense and careless passing. Unnecessary fouls while opponent is shooting.
I thought they wanted Denver…😂
Is not joke
Denver shot out of their ass, didn’t miss.
MVP to strong 💪
Seems like the Timberwolves played pretty well but still trailed the whole game and it wasn’t close at the end. To make an impact in the future, they’d need some changes. Two 7’ footers and they still can’t shut down the joker. Maybe lose one of those guys.
NBA hard to watch with all the foul calls, let them play
How's that Rudy deal going? Dumb staff can't make good deals. Read some books duds.
Goddam Denver got a squad
As a nuggets fan I can confidently say that Anthony Edwards is going to be a playoff monster for years to come
I feel for Anthony Edwards. Bruh played his ass off and still couldn't get a win.
As a wolves fan I would have loved to see McDaniels and Naz play in this series. It would have made this series a little more exciting, but it has been anything but. I love how Denver plays and they are full of veterans and smart players. I bet they go far
