20-0 run in the first quarter.
13-0 run in the second quarter.
24-0 run in the fourth quarter.
Absolute fucking madness.
Barely scoring 70 points in a game in 2024 is wild and that was one of the worst 3-point shooting displays I’ve ever seen too lmao
What the hell is this series? If I were a fan of either team, I think I’d have a heart attack. Can’t wait for game 7!
Gonna be one of the most hyped game 7s in a while, this gonna be crazy.
Luka Garza is so fuckin hot man, hope no one sees this
Jamal was straight bullshitting out there tonight.
I think the early blow to his elbow affected him (it was heavily wrapped on the bench late) thats probably why he was pure doodoo tonight. Hope he never beats the “lights are never too bright” allegations though. He will be better next game. Bench needs to play better too esp at home cause goddamn that was embarrassing. Rudy was great tonight.
We got what we asked for. GAME 7
Murray and the bench were just non-existent today.
The defending champs were down 50 points… We going to game 7 bois.
So I was at the Nuggets hotel and challenged the starting five to an Alfredo sauce chugging competition last night, can’t believe they all fell for it. Glad I could help my team.
What the fuck
Wolves just beat the defending champions in a must win game by more than 40 points and help them under 80 points!
There is zero reason for either of these teams to feel confident about game 7 lmao.
Why would Jamal make himself ice cold by throwing away a heat pack? Is he stupid?
Fun fact: Teams tied 3-3 in a series go on to win the series 50% of the time.
I haven’t seen this many bricked open 3s by a team since OKC last night.
this series was designed to make talking heads look stupid as hell. too bad they’ll never learn their lesson
Game 7 is gonna be a good one!
Denver just had one of the lowest scoring quarters ever
What the fuck just happened
Wolves went on a 113-61 run
Just got out of a Thai prison, are the Denver Nuggets the best construction team in the world?
Super clutch 7-1 run by the Nuggets to avoid losing by 50.
Feel free to fact-check me, but seems like the biggest determinant of the Timberwolves’ success in this series has been having Ant on Murray and KAT on Jokic. Unsure whether this matchup is a coaching decision, or whether the ability to do that is determined by how many ticky-tack foul calls the refs make.
Everyone one except Jokic should be forced to take the bus back to Denver… What an embarrassing performance from the Nuggets… And an exceptional one from the Wolves! Roll on to game 7 🍿
Sunday will be Jamal Murray’s first elimination game with fans in the stands in 1,831 days
Could’ve posted this halfway through the 3^rd quarter.
Nuggets couldn’t throw a pebble into the ocean from the shore in the game tonight (4/21 from three in the first half), including a combined 10/44 from the field (have to note Murray’s 4/18 disasterclass) by anyone not Jokic or Gordon and were going through the motions defensively giving up free looks from three like they were free lottery tickets.
The Wolves played with the home cooking energy that had them controlling the boards (+15 rebounds and +11 offensive in the first half) that translated to 15 second chance points and the biggest collective sigh of relief seeing Edwards get up after his awkward fall.
There’s not really much to report here other than the Nuggets shot atrociously, Conley looked healthy and will get a few more days to further heal and we’ll hopefully be getting a contentious Game 7.
A 20-0 and a 24-0 run in the same game is fucking WILD
The best two words in sports: Game Seven
awoo

my mom walked in so i switched to porn
Okay Gordon, you can finally eat dinner with the team again.
MIKE CONLEY IMPACT
May 19th is the 20-year anniversary of Minnesota defeating Sacramento in Game 7 of the 03-04 Western Conference Semifinals.
May 19th is also Kevin Garnett’s birthday.
70 points in 2024 is nasty work
Game 7 is either gonna be one for the ages or the biggest blowout
70 points is the fewest scored in a game this entire season. Insane Wolves performance.
Why don’t the wolves win by 50 every game? Are they stupid?
This series will be studied by future generations.
One of the absolute worst shotmaking performances in the history of basketball
For perspective, Jokic and Gordon made 13 shots on 26 attempts tonight – subpar efficiency game from even him but it won’t kill you.
The rest of the Nuggets made 13 shots on 63 attempts. 21% percent shooting from most of the Nuggets roster including only 9 points in super garbage time.
If there was anything you take away from tonight if you’re the Nuggets it’s that you cannot collectively shoot worse than you did tonight
One of the most improbable score lines ever.
Congratulations to Murray for outscoring Luka Garza by 2 points in a playoff game.
WHERE WAS THIS WOLVES TEAM ON TUESDAY????
No matter how Game 7 goes, I think both teams have proven they are absolute contenders. There’s no fraudulence here, just two top-tier teams going back and forth.
That was an ass beating
