BACK PEDALING AND BUSSY POPPIN!
Malone was being diplomatic. The whole 2 minute montage was SAS talking shlt
Bench Gobert
Stephen A big mouth.
Steven A needs to shut his mouth and leave the public eye he's a racist idiot who doesn't even follow his own team
He should apologize to his audience for being bad at that part of his job, shouldn't he?
I mean, if he wants to apologize to his audience, as well as the Nuggets staff and players who watch his show, that's cool, I guess.
Thanks Stephen A for waking up the Nuggets.
Nope we don't want your apology stephen. You can just sit there and understand just like the rest of the talking heads that you were wrong and have always disliked denver and jokic
It’s “ferocity” not “verocity”
Not much of a Joker fan but i hope the MVP award plus the hate from receiving the award activates something within him to just go beast mode and win it all. 🫡
APOLOGIZE LOUDER!!
Rudy Gobert should stay at home my lord.
Actually, Malone showed the whole team how Shaq rosted Jokic about the MVP, so Timberwolves should blame Shaq for making Nuggets angry.
Sports media is the best job because you basically gamble without putting any money in, and the only consequence is that sometimes you have to apologize, then u get paid.
The Wolves should be worried Stephen A picked them to win the series. Everyone knows he wrong 90% of the time.
Dudes trash. As bias as it gets.
Now they the champions for a reason!
Espn changing the name to the flip flop show always wrong
Timberwolves threw that game away it was so obvious vegas made them do it.
I should’ve bet but decided not to. Perhaps I would’ve jinxed Denver if I did. Before I heard who Paul Pierce and Skip Bayless were picking, I had a very good feeling Denver would win Game 3.
On Bovada, Nuggets were +1800 to win it all prior to Game 3. It’s only +650 today. DON’T LET THEM GET ONE. Say Minny wins Game 4. I believe Denver can win the final 3. Back in 2020, they came back down 3-1 twice to Utah and the Clippers. That’s how much I believe in them. I didn’t worry about them being 0-2. My Clippers overcame it twice in 2021 but we weren’t champions like Denver are.
All these morons on TV already giving Denver a eulogy ignoring the fact that they’re the defending champions. Did you really believe they would get swept? Overreaction after every single game. Once I heard Key pick Minny, I told myself that Denver should win easy and they did. Key doesn’t seem to watch any of the games. He only jerks off to Lakers. Undisputed needs to get rid of Key and just make Rachel and Paul Pierce regulars.
Minny does not want to lose Game 4 because if Denver ties, it can end in 6. Denver can go to Minnesota and win a Game 6. But Minnesota is not winning a Game 7 in Denver. Minny is showing their inexperience. The chance to win a close out game is very difficult. They never felt this before but Denver has. If it goes 7, that spotlight will be too bright for Minny to handle. Listen, I love Anthony Edwards. But he has to go through these trials and tribulations that the reigning champions have already experienced.
Key is so stupid. He said something like Denver hasn’t faced adversity. He didn’t watch them in 2020? And they’re facing adversity now starting from a 0-2 hole. They will overcome it if my Clippers did against Dallas and Utah three years ago. And this Denver team is superior to my team with the hardware to prove it. And wasn’t making all those comebacks against the Lakers showing they can overcome adversity? Denver was down 20 in Game 2 and still won.
I’m still sticking to my WCF prediction: Denver over Dallas in 6. I’m aware they’re both currently behind in their series but OKC and Minny’s inexperience will be their undoing. I got Denver over Minny in 7 and Dallas over OKC in 6. Jokic vs. Luka WCF. Jokic should win it in 6. Jamal Murray was not going out like a sucker. Came back with a vengeance last night. Jamal is nonchalant clutch.
All these prisoner of the moment overreacting morons. Y’all already jinxed Minnesota by underestimating and burying the defending champs that soon. Denver has too much pride. They were not going to get swept. The only teams I recall getting swept the following year after winning a chip were the 2007 Heat and 2011 Lakers.
I got Denver winning Game 4. But if they don’t, I remain confident they can win Game 5, 6, and 7. Game 6 is the most questionable one but they can win it because Minny might choke that chance eliminating them. As Rudy T said, never underestimate the heart of a champion.
Nuggets have the mvp
Anthony Edwards is more mature and respectable than Lebron, he actually takes responsibility for their lose, unlike cry baby Lebron who blames everyone else.
Give credit to Ant. He took accountability for the loss. Unlike someone else currently on the Lakers ready to hire and then fire a coach after 2-3 years.
Expect some of the same sunday nt 2-2 after 4
Stephen A smith biggest clown around
Denver shot great wolves can’t be down cuz I don’t see them shooting like that every game
This is the moment I waited seeing SAS bowed 😂😂😂
It was a celebration at the target center, because the Timberwolves were theTarget!
It is amazing how similar Edwards body language is to MJ’s
Stephen a smith is a clown, changes his positions game by game, what a joke.
What if The Nuggets are playing psychological game. We will let them win two and then we smash them.
Nuggets ain’t winning game 4 . Stop it
How many times Stephen A has been wrong 😂
Stephen A is a 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Oh they said wolves and okc are on collision course,, maybe Dallas and Denver are on it. Luca against Joker the 2 best white players on the planet and of all time with Bird,and Pistol Pete
Buffoon
You can’t tell me the powers that be would allow the nuggets to get swept. Timberwolves look like they were intentionally running around lost. Turning the ball over. Doing dumb stuff
i youtube stephen a wrong predictions & legit a documentary was searched
Wow all that sweep nonsense thinking they know it all goofy ones
The T-Wolves got home and started self medicating , im sure if it . They'll bounce back next game
Yeah instead of burying the Denver Nuggets how about admitting it’s much too early to crown the Timberwolves as the favorites and Edwards as the next Michael Jordan. Let the series play out
