  1. Kyle Anderson has to have some dirt on someone in the front office or one of the coaches cause ain’t no fucking way that dude should be getting minutes

  2. SwurveGod

    Winning 2 in a row is possible and will be there for the taking. That being said this is the saddest I’ve felt after a loss since Favre’s pick in 2009.

  3. irishace88

    MVP was on another level tonight. Win or go home on Thursday. Keep the faith Wolves bros.

  4. Daddy I don’t want to play with the nuggets anymore

  5. SingleVertebra

    Not a word about the refs. This was all Timberwolves (and Jokic, of course)

  6. Substantial_Finger_2

    Everyone was food for jokic and no one could get it going offensively, just a whole team let down.

  7. KingFabulousTheLast

    They are playing perfect, nothing you can do. Sadly happens

  8. NurplePain

    This game proved to me Jokic robbed Kyle of MVP this year

  9. Backblast

    So all Denver did was let Gordon bring the ball up and double Ant and that’s all it takes for this team to get shitted on. Coaching dif?

  10. chillywillyG

    That was probably one of the best single performances I’ve ever seen played against my Wolves

  11. WitchofFloyd

    We didn’t play our best game but I don’t know how you are supposed to win when Jokic is playing like that. Just unbeatable

  12. JellyfishNervous4249

    ELI5 what worked the first two games that isnt working now. How come Jokic doesnt look gassed at the half anymore?

  13. Coaching staff needs to find a counter to the Ant double teams.

  14. red--dead

    Naz has just been playing awful. I hope he returns to form G6.

  15. JamesDHoward22

    Literally no idea how to feel.

    So frustrating to feel like we had a chance at a championship for about 3 days – and come down feeling like we’re only one round better than last year.

    We’re gonna have to dig so deep to win this in Game 7.

  16. If Jokic can play like that then he should win the fucking finals again, that dumb bitch

  17. TheTwoWolvesInsideU

    We’ve lost the mental game, and thus, a good chance the series.

  18. the_devil_wears_jnco

    Playing a team with zero rim protection and you struggle to crack 100 every game. its a total disaster

  19. deadweightboss

    The reason wolves are losing is because they’re losing the jokic rest minutes. That should be 10 points per game. 

  20. beandeiduck

    Jokic is so good. Just mad respect. That’s why he’s fcking MVP.

  21. Hisoka_Brando

    Man Ant was completely neutralized this game. Every time he called a screen, the Nuggets would double and he could never spot KAT or Naz Reid popping for the three. Even when Gobert wasn’t clogging the lane, Ant had no answers for the Nuggets defense.

  22. MiguelSano11

    I cannot believe Kyle Anderson played 16 minutes in a massive playoff game.

  23. porterhouse2588

    Really shows how important the 1 seed was. it’s a cripple fight in that series
