Some of y’all really had “Wolves in 7”LMAOOO
no one's first
NO BIAS: Nuggets vs Suns and in how many games?
Ant boutta go villain mode next year
i Respect both Edwards and Murray.
i wish both them a long and nice Career.
First
Attending a playoff game live is moving its way up my bucket list. Such insane energy at every game!
Oh yeah, let’s trade a bunch of key players for one guy and overpay him. That’ll make us better at defense.
Says the dumbest owners in the NBA
Wolves fought so hard for being down all those players. Well-done to the Nuggets! Incredibly solid squad!
Edwards is the future for the wolves.. townes has had his chance.. dude is soft
Hats off to Anthony Edwards. He played the whole series through like a monster. I would argue he left his team behind.
See you next season my Timberwolves ☺ Good job!
تكلم زين ما افهم تفهم أنت ما تفهم ولا أنا ما افهم
Bro Gobert 😢😢
Y’all can’t tell me this isn’t one of the greatest playoff series of the 2010’s up. Majority of the teams on both the west & east having upsets, edge of your seat moments, & close 4 quarter battles. I think we have to thank partially thank Ja Morant for “I’m fine in the west” because man is this been great basketball to watch!!
[4:30]
Edwards (🐺 #1) didn't respect to opposite team (⛏️)… 😐
So lucky with Antman missed shot!!
Nikola jokiç deserve MVP AWARD again
Towns has got to be the softest, most useless max contract 7 footer in the league and it's crazy that he's making as much money as Jokic. Gobert is not far behind on the useless 7 footer list as well
The NBA needs to stop allowing BS officiating.
KAT and Gobert needs to go.. these clowns are no where to be found during playoffs..
Timberwolves, instead of trading for Rudy, probably could have had KD… We gave up 5 1sts (including Walker Kessler), a pick swap, 2 starters (Pat Bev and Jarred Vanderbilt), a sixth man (Malik Beasely) and a project player (Leondro Balmaro) for Rudy… KD ended up getting traded for 4 1sts, a pick swap, and one starter (Mikal Bridges) and a 6th man (Cam Johnson)…. Wolves could have easily traded 4 1sts, a pick swap, DLo and Vanderbilt for KD and Nets would probably feel better about it that what they ended up with
Gobert jumping for the miss put back dramatic fall and no hustle down court mess this moment up
The Joker's smirk 😏
2:42 and then he becomes full joker 3:14
Reff so bad👎🏼
jokic an orange street cone on defense
wala din yan nuggets pagdating sa 2nd round
Gobert is the goat…the real 🐐 🤣😂
Embiid is watching and learning from this game.
GOBERT'S FAULT. GIVING CRUCIAL OFFENSIVE REBOUNDS T NUGGETS.
Go home Edward's
Winner teams might struggle but always find a way to win. Congrats to the Joker on another triple double, MVP no doubt.
Need to trade KAT and Gobert
There was horrible calls in this game in the 4th definitely momentum switching calls! NBA needs to start fining the refs with such bad work!
in the end justice prevailed! officiating was a disgrace in the 4th quarter!!! so many no calls for denver side (officials managed to screw up the challenge call even) they basically got the wolves back into the game with horrible calls, denver had to dig deep what shoulda been an easy finish 😡😡😡 i’ve never seen someone disrespect 2xMVP (1st seed) and one of the best coaches in the NBA like this
Jamal Murray was hitting some crazy shots 💯safe to say he's back to his regular self
Always love NBA playoff so much
Nuggets are health and didnt choke at all
lets go nuggets!!!
2:38 a crucial rebound for Den. Gobert should have grab it
why couldn't they stop this slow Fat a##?
all this to face the suns🤣
Gobert gets paid to block shots and rebound, bro gives up a offensive rebound to AG leading to a MPJ 3, misses the rebound AGAIN leading to the Jokic putback. Then has the audacity to flop and fall down instead of getting back leading to a Jokic and 1. MOST OVERPAID PLAYER IN HISTORY, brother is useless
How is Rudy on a Supermax contract?
Great ending but it could have been better with a better play caller than Spero Dedes.. where was Gus Johnson?
