6:53 so smooth af 🥵
Edwards is electric. Damn
Wolves in 4.
Great win on the road! This is gonna be a great series
Nuggets fucking suck bro this game clearly shows it
Just wish the refs could/would call moving violations, traveling (ya they got joker, but what a joke that call) and players lowering their shoulder. come on. they make it too easy for the offense now, but if you look at past seasons from the late 80's-90's they would but up 125-130 on average, with tougher rules for offense.
What the Lakers should have done, could have done and did not do. Congrats Timberwolves!
Imagine when we get back to MN and the refs aren’t completely garbage.
I keep telling people that Eddie Winslow is the best player in the nba right now….
Anthony Edwards:
43pts (17-29 FGM, 6-6 FTM)
7 Rebs
3 Asts
1 STL
2 BLKs
This isn’t right, I thought it’s gonna be another Denver sweep
Heyyy announcers; let go of Jocic, he need to use the restroom pleeeeeeeeze!!!
Anthony Edward is on Compound V!
AE reminds me of Kobe
This is what Lakers Missing, the one who can guard Jokic. Towns and Gobert can guard Jokic. Davis need to Guard and also need to score.
Sban my comment huh. Ok Im done watching these games. Best of luck to whomever wins the chip.
Anthony Edwards did a great job of creating space and getting to his sweet spots with his jumper.
I see Kobe and MJ efficiency. He got Kobe handles, MJ type efficiency and kobe impossible shot making ability. And his post fade jumper is extremely polished at his age is insane.
Ant is him, dude is a beast.
Wolves had nuggets for lunch..
Ant Man growing ten times his size in the 4th quarter again.
Uh oh.. you're in trouble denver!
The Lakers Lose, it seems no one cries and babbles about the refs. But then as soon as they win anything, all of a sudden the refs help them in the media help them. Yeah that's it, Stephen A. Smith helped them win, I love the jealousy.
Anthony Edwards is becoming the face of the league and I'm here for it.
6:53 commentator was nutting to this play 😭
Anthony Edwards is fearless.
“They got Nikola Jokic but we got Jaden McDaniel’s” ahh game, wolves came out and showed up fr😭😭🙏🙏
Last year, it was mj's eldest son cooking everybody in the playoffs now it's the other son cooking. 😮🔥
if the wolves get past nuggets on this round they can win it all
If Timberwolves win this series im 90% sure they'll win the championship 👏🏼
YESSSSSS LETS GO WOLVES!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Let’s Go Ant Man
You know your defense is legit when you can hold Denver below 100pts.
Let's go Los Angeles Timberwolves
Ant and Naz look like bad men
