I don't think the Nuggets can come back to win this series. They got destroyed and now heading back to Minnesota? They're done imo, just haven't been close to the level they were last year as a team as of yet. I don't expect a sweep that would be extremely embarrassing and I'd be affronted if this Nuggets team that beat the Lakers gets swept. You're better than this!
Don’t let this distract you from the fact LA was nearly swept by a Serbian horse rider playing alongside zero all-stars. Reality is hitting them hard now. Wolves close them in 4.
If the wolves get past the nuggets you can write a ticket to the finals. The Mavs and Thunder will get killed on the boards. The wolves got to much length and size for either team
Not gonna be surpised if Naz reid been pick up by Lakers next year and then he turn back into an undrafted player that he is forgetting how to play basketball like every free agent acquisition they been having for the fast 2-3 years
I don't blame Indiana for their changes in defensive switches, considering that when they'd do well the Knicks would get bailed out by AWFUL absolutely MONGOLOID calls the ENTIRE game (saw every dribble and unfortunately every awful commercial)
I understand that Jalen is just a nice story and New York is finally relevant as a winning environment but holy shit, that little dude is officiated like a giant superstar, which he is NOT without the egregious favorable officiating. He's basically being officiated like 2017 Harden, or post 2020 Giannis. Gets away with palming/carrying/traveling; jumpstops backwards into a trailing defender WHICH IS AN OFFENSIVE FOUL aka the Trae Young rule; unnaturally kicks out his legs on jumpshots and falls down to sell calls, does that stupid neck whip on any little contact. It's ridiculous. The NBA really is trying to do all it can to make him look greater than he is, and it's awful for legitimate basketball fans.
Jalen is able to create space and hit some tough ones, but honestly i feel it's because he foul baits so much. It's irritating to watch. Jamal and Haliburton were essentially no shows, and that more or less made the difference. If Murray doesn't show up, who else can score for Denver? Reggie had an OK game 1, but be realistic.
If the Wolves win this series, OKC or Dallas will just be lunch meat. They will already be locked-in to the NBA Finals. Wolves are sending a message to the rest of the playoff contenders !!! They are the team to beat !!
The more this series goes on the more I’m starting to realize that despite everything that’s been going on with him in the media, there will always be a place for Dwight Howard in the league. Even if it’s not in a jersey. One thing you can’t say about him is he don’t know basketball. He’s pretty much predicted the playoffs so far.
Been saying all year long, the Nuggets have absolutely no depth. They need the starting 5 to go off every game or they can't win, especially in the playoffs. Find a way to slow down Murray or MPJ? Game over.
As a Laker fan I’m just disgusted cause we really should’ve won that series. There was clearly a flaw within this nuggets team but we couldn’t close when it mattered most. Wolves defense is looking generational. They got the size and length and a Young hungry rising superstar. I’m still not gonna count out the champs. I’ve seen series where a team lost both home games and came back still won the series. Clips vs mavs a few years ago comes to mind.
Yeah, teams are going to have to learn to pass for advantage. To wear these big motherfuckers out. I actually think the Celtics can do some of this.
A team like this if you are being defended this hard by this many guys – you don't want to expend the same amount of energy as them so you need to pass the ball 3-4 times to get them moving & wasting energy.
Celtics did this under Brad Stevens. They would use passing to break down defenses. But you don't see this in the NBA & honestly you can't trust many modern NBA players to pass like this. Lol
This series is phenomenal. Edwards is that dog the league has been missing since Kobe retired. The defense was superior than it has been in over a decade. I'm not saying the Wolves are going to win the chip but damn, they let the league know they're right there

Lakers showed how weak the Nuggets are
the kicked ball Nesmith call did it for me
i just left the game and that was a wolves home game shout out to that fanbase a good sized crowd flew out and were loud asf outside
Took the league three years to figure out don't double Jokic and go at him on offense.
That was probably the best defensive performance in the modern era of basketball
I don't think the Nuggets can come back to win this series. They got destroyed and now heading back to Minnesota?

Finally, i can cheer as a MN sports fan! i have been waiting this day my whole life it seems
Jokic brothers…. It’s time
Let’s chicken nuggets Cancun here we come
Lol another fraud fatkic post season run once he runs into a real team that isn’t from the play-in. Scoff😹😹✌️

Funky you’ve barely talked about OKC
Never doubted the Twolves. Easy to predicted the cooking but this serie is not over.
last year playoff no Naz & McDaniel now the Nuggets struggle with their defense,what a great run for the Wolves, Wolves in 4
Jaden McDaniels is PLUS FORTY over two games.
HE ONLY HAS 5 POINTS
If the wolves get past the nuggets you can write a ticket to the finals. The Mavs and Thunder will get killed on the boards. The wolves got to much length and size for either team
The nuggets played like they dont want to win they play like they just want to wrap it up iv never seen the nuggets squad play this sloppy and bad
NBA is rigged asf lol.
Not gonna be surpised if Naz reid been pick up by Lakers next year and then he turn back into an undrafted player that he is forgetting how to play basketball like every free agent acquisition they been having for the fast 2-3 years

Dinvincezo did some Hollywood acting on that personal foul! Or refs just hate pacers that much
The screen WAS illegal. wide leg stance + hip trust = illegal
text book
Want to see Wolves vs Thunder
Am I trippin or I felt like that if ORL made it over CLE, the Celtics would have a harder time against the Magic over the Cavs?
If the Wolves win this series, OKC or Dallas will just be lunch meat. They will already be locked-in to the NBA Finals. Wolves are sending a message to the rest of the playoff contenders !!! They are the team to beat !!
Say what you want about LeBron, I've never seen him throw such a childish temper tantrum like Jamaal "heat pad" Murray.
Advanced stats really tricked people into thinking jokic plays defense.
Wolves-Celtics gonna be litty
The lakers fans are probably so happy right now
A submission hold tap out omfg and the timberwolves fans in Ball Arena took it over too…
The more this series goes on the more I’m starting to realize that despite everything that’s been going on with him in the media, there will always be a place for Dwight Howard in the league.

Jamal Murray having a good game is the only thing that can save the Nuggets.
This game was extremely physical
Been saying all year long, the Nuggets have absolutely no depth. They need the starting 5 to go off every game or they can't win, especially in the playoffs. Find a way to slow down Murray or MPJ? Game over.
I disagree homeboy Cavaliers 6
Brunson with the white Kobe shoes. It's gotta be the shoes at this point…

Wow Nuggets looks so bleak. Jamal Murray AG and Jokic getting embarrased like bottom dwelling team.
I knew this team was tough, but i didn’t expect them to be this good
16 points for the fraud.

Love that. Just like the suns series where book was perpetually “gonna be better next game”. I’m sure Jokic and Jamal will too.
The fact that Naz Reid played better D on Jokic and Murray than AD did should be proof for everyone that AD is overrated on offense AND defense
Are the Minnesota Timberwolves the best team in the history of the MMA?
This series is phenomenal. Edwards is that dog the league has been missing since Kobe retired. The defense was superior than it has been in over a decade. I'm not saying the Wolves are going to win the chip but damn, they let the league know they're right there
Nba is scripted entertainment, game 2 was so obviously rigged 🎬📺
