nba finals came in a little early dont you think
I called Wolves in 6
Lebron is labelled an NBA hero. He flops, i prefer heros that dont lose.
I can see the Nuggets only have that champ energy against the Lakers. They were asleep this game 1.
If he continues playing like this, we definitely have to run that DNA test on him, #Antman #MJ
Goooooo wolvessss!!!
Prigioniiiiiiiiiiiiiiii argentina 🇦🇷
Hey jo Jokic it aint so fun when the other team has aim right?
This is not Lakers team lol
Edwards 43 pts….Jokić 32…. and this is just Game 1. Gonna be one heck of a Series
The moderation is boring asf
I like the way Edwards integrates the midrange and fadeaway in his game. Just the way MJ did. Its a good shot to master, and you'll hit it at better percentage than just jacking up a whole bunch of threes
Wolves’ coach, please, in the beginning the Nuggets were helpless with the Defense (both Murray and Jokid were bothered), there is no need to go to your bench first! This is over rationalizing (even having a best bench). That gave the Nuggets the opportunity to breath and come back right away. Besides, if Ant is in Supernova mode, let him stay there, he would easily get 53 maybe even 60. Take him out only when he slows down a bit. He is taking over! I am so happy Reid finished strong, he could even stay more. KAT, very good, he just needs to refrain from silly fouls.
Guys, please support by liking or commenting, it’s difficult in the region now. Also feel free if you have the opportunity to support the channel through, details in the description.
As conclusions and prejudices are easily made here, a person falls to get up, after all, "the first kittens are thrown into the water", I deeply believe that Denver will start the machinery.
Nuggets game 2
Edwards MVP, the most exciting player I ever seen
The NBA key needs to be passed to Anthony Edwards from LeBron. Our era is done. 20 years from now we will be debating who the goat is between MJ, Bron, and AE. And it will be 1.Bron, 2.MJ, 3.AE.
Anthony Edwards was on 🔥 early doors and could not be stoped Denver came back well just couldn't top the Minnesota Timberwolves to good for nuggets wovles lead 1-0
🏆
Edwards carrying the wovles to a 1-0 lead up against the nuggets however jokic and Edwards went off with both drop-in more than 20 pts wovles take game 1
This is really bad commentary
Don't 4get Denver led the garbage San Antonio Spurs squad by 20 points or so in the 3rd quarter and got beat ,in the Nuggets second last game off the season to lose the #1 seed! That was the end of the Nuggets season, it was a disgraceful loss
Edwards Jordan son
Naz Reid with 14 pts in 4th actually won this game first T Wolves
Huge victory for the wolves
