Game 3 is a guranteed win for the defending champions. The Nuggets will win game 3. This series is just getting started.
😂 last year they only beat the heat. They looked pathetic vs the lakers. But hey At least joker stole another mvp 😂😂😂
ANT-Man is about to become the youngest Denver Nuggets' Daddy
Swept is a stretch for Nuggets. But not impossible. Denver coming hard tonight.

These diversity hires are making me want to stop watching
Minnesota just been better

Timberwolfs, plz take it easy on them Nuggets tonight. 😂
Denver cooked! Boston vs Minnesota NBA Finals change my mind 🤷🏽♂️
I'm impressed with the wolves cuz Denver is a really good team
I’m sorry the Ben Wallace pistons was the best defense in a long time with hunter & james full court press
My iPhone cut off the “perk” part of the title. Otherwise I definitely wouldn’t have clicked on this.
Smart move honestly
You telling me a guy who won his 3rd MVP this season, the defending champs, cant will themselves to at least 1 game vs a team with no deep playoff experience yet?
It would be funny if the Nuggets came back and won 4-2
Wolves in 5
WHEN A PLAYER HAS THE PEDIGREE OF A PRO FOOTBALLER AND THE BASKET BALL IQ OF MJ KAREEM HOW DO YOU STOP HIM.
4-1 Wolves
I'm not counting Denver out yet. But if they lose tonight in Minneapolis, then I'd say they are COOKED.
I see they got another Malika
Wolves gonna sweep through overrated chicken nuggets
Clean Sweep🧹🧹🧹🧹.
As the two bozos of Stephen A and Perkins is already saying that Denver will lose the series, i'm gonna bet that the Nuggets will counter sweep the Wolves.
funny how they blow minnesota now
Oh Hell No Great Teams make adjustments You Heard
This all fair criticism. But what I’ll say about the nuggets is this. They lost game 1 by 7 and they were up at half. Minnesota has some weaknesses as well. All it takes is one game to find it
Dallas vs Minnesota west finals New york Vs Boston East finals then the wolves go finals vs NYC 🗽 Wolves win in 6 to take there first championship back to the cold streets of Minnesota 🎉🎉🎉🎉
This lady voice is so annoying 😒 “there’s no way” yeah aight 😂😂😂 they gone in four
Still waiting for Gobert to be played off the court. Nobody (but Perk) gave them any chance all year because they "are just not confident, come playoff time, that Gobert won't get played off the court…"
Oh, and Rudy is shooting like 88% from the FT (22-25) line in the playoffs, so teams can't even "hack-a-rudy" …..
Perk knows Rudy 'Goburr' gonna be there.
Rudy Goburrr
Denver should start Christian Braun over Jamal Murray. He's a forward but he's bigger and he has handles like a guard and he's bursting at the seams with talent just waiting to explode.
And remember people don't say it otherwise you'll lose!
I bet nuggets win game 3 with a combination of factors: 1) tight officiating, keeping MN's defense from locking down. If KAT gets 2 fouls in the 1st quarter, jokic will get to work. 2) Murray finally shoots well. If Murray and MPJ shoot well off jokic assists, the whole offense changes. 3) either kat or Ant shoot poorly or get hurt.
Don't count Denver out, and I'm a wolves fan
Has a Timberwolves fan I fully expect Denver to respond tonight
Perk takes are just horrible 😫
Oh they will sweep the Nuggets. Or at least in 5. And Shai Gilgeous-Alexander got robbed of the MVP.
Murray should of been suspended
Lord knows no Minnesota fan is celebrating until a week after they win the series. We are too traumatized. Somethings going to happen.
Naw Perk got the best lines… "In their hills like a Pair of church socks" is hard just like all his other lines. We see you Perk. Also J. Crawford been hitting with his lines during the game!! We saw yaw!! Keep being!
I’m a lifelong nuggets fan and I would first like to say I never thought I’d see the day this franchise won a championship let alone have a 3 time MVP, so if they never win again, I’m content…….with that being said, this series is over, for the simple reason of the nuggets offense hasn’t evolved, it’s still mostly joker/murray pick and roll and when that doesn’t work kick it to the black hole that is porter where he’ll jack up a contested bad 3, while pope and Gordon just stand in the corner looking clueless…..against the length that the wolves have, your offense needs to be a little more nuanced than that
They stopped an gave them a hug🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣hilarious 💯💪🏿 An I love LBJ
If Minnesota super star out score Denver. Wolves will win that game. Denver hasn't nothing to make up the difference of Minnesota depth.
I feel bad that Big Perk still struggles to use the word "their"…
Ruedii Goburr
ESPN before game 1: Denver is the clear favorite
ESPN now: Denver can’t stand a chance 😂😂😂
These so call “Analysts”
