AG taking no shots to troll the LogDogs.
KAT couldn’t score on Holiday lol
Michael Jordan and Scottie Pipen from Temu
Hey Reginald haters, u dum
Holy shit that’s a foul
Kyle was so slow while he was falling to the floor, Jokic has already taken two steps away.
Nice drive Reggie
Watson comes in and gets cooked immediately
ugly 1st but we lead

^ Here’s Nikola getting his third MVP since TNT neglected to show it.
I’m glad we’re not starting slow. Keep it up and this series is over. Nuggets in 6.
Oh man I do not miss the games when we give away 1st quarters.
Up at the end of 1 folks. We hangin in there, but god damn am I anxious
Is there a reason we don’t put in Murray for end of possession shots?
Puppies shooting 60% from 3. Ya, that won’t regress to the mean….
All my homies hate Kat
Malone needs to stop being cute
They shot pretty well from 3 in the first. Slow that down and we can run away with it
Kat fruity
What is this lineup? Is Moach trying to make sure then whole bench gets their letter jacket?
I thought Jokic was gonna drain that for sure loo
Good defense, sloppy offense but better to be up than trailing
Sloppy quarter but we’re up 2 somehow
they need to be a little more sharper so we can go on a run and get some separation
how tf did we win that quarter – players in foul trouble, stupid TOs,
Maybe they should’ve let reggie jack up that last second 3 lol
Reggie Miller predicting every play after they’ve happened
Feel like a championship game
AG getting in foul trouble is a killer but hopefully rest of the game he will be ok. Refs have been absolutely trash so far
This one’s gonna be a battle.
Winning the rebound battle so far which is nice
They’re 5/9 from 3 and should hopefully regress to the mean in this next quarter
Gordon has got to stay out of foul trouble this quarter
Could be better… could be worse, but they’re heads are in it so that’s good
Still mad about the ultra late start time.
We can’t leave NAW wide open
Massive win to win the 1st quarter with AG’s foul trouble
KAT is injured, don’t double him if he post. The rest of the guys are only looking for a 3 out of that happening
We kept them in this quarter with our incredibly slow pace on offense – why the fuck are we taking 9 seconds to get anywhere with 11 seconds left in the quarter
Interesting to see if we keep doubling ANT on the catch which leads to open 3’s. If they keep knocking them down… Malone def probs adjust.
Not bad by any means
But, whilst it isn’t at game 2 levels, this is much closer to Minnesota’s Game 1 level of defense than Games 2 and 3 were
Love what I’m seeing from Jokic. Not loving what I’m seeing from the rest. Need the whole team to turn on the gas
They are shooting crazy well that quarter, lotta iffy foul calls, some stupid TOs
Nugs still up 2
Love to see it. Clean it up and do it again
First quarter win. Let’s get this next one
I almost prefer to have DeAndre Jordan in there to guard that last possession.
Towns is the lamest “star” player
Minnesota with 4 points in the paint. Can they keep their accurate jumpers up? I doubt it but we will see
Playing stupid ball and not nuggets ball so far, thank god for jokic. Need to be FASTER getting past half court bruh we’re taking forever dribbling up then have no time for our sets, did we just completely eliminate the last 2 games?
