Jokic is just Steve Nash, if Steve never ran into the Spurs during one of his title runs. Most overrated multiple time MVPs ever.
Now I wish you white pundits can now stop saying that jokic is the best player in the world. No he’s a big fat “ NOT” it’s amazing how no criticism has not come jokic way.
Minnesota will also destroy both OKC/Dallas and Boston. I can’t wait!
If Twolves comes out of the West going to be interesting match up against Boston
Refs were allowing a lot in those forst two games. They basically let Minnesota play football. Thats fine but thats not how games have been officiated the past few years and nugs werent ready for that at all. That style really gives Minnesota the advantage. Sure nugs should have adapted and yes Minnesota is playing great. Murray didnt practice all week and nugs are really missing bruce and jeff in this series.
Wolves 🐺 and OKC in western finals 🏀
Nuggets are done. Timberwolves win game 3 by double digits. They don’t have to play nearly as well as they did in game 2 to win by 10+ in game 3. It might be close in the first half but eventually that defense will wear on Denver and Minnesota will end up winning convincingly. They are just flat out better.
Murray gotta be hurt & they need 1 bona-fide scorer off bench
I told my boy about the play where Murray was trapped:
"At first it looked like solid defense. Then, in the midst of Kendrick v Drake, it looked like a light-skinned brotha getting picked on."
On a serious note, its hard to see anyone left stopping the Wolves if they bring that defense every game. OKC probably has the best chance since they do a lot of damage in transition.
Does anyone think those two "away from the ball fouls" were actually fouls? They are talking like they think those were good calls. What?
Its over . That lockdown defense in Minny is so tough . Not sure how you solve that the way the bench is getting outplayed . 15 points off the bench is horrendous
This is what happens when players are finally allowed to play real defense the league allowed more physicality after the all star break and now soft teams like Denver gonna get spanked and Ant Micheal Jorden btw 😂
The only way Nuggets are winning is Jokic in the post or post mid range. He needs to be aggresive and score 40 or 50
You stink non heavers 😂😂😂
The 🐺 are in a weird position. Up 2-0 with a must win game 3. They can't let Denver get a game.
Nuggets lack of depth they need 1 more scoring threat Oh wait they had one Bones Hyland,
Any 76ers fan wanna tell me what happened to DeAnthony Melton he was balling in the 1st half of the season and suddenly he's out of rotation.
It's funny seeing all the Wolves fans crawl out from their ice caverns to get all chesty in the comments sections of anywhere they can find lol
It’s unreal how Michael Conley isn’t getting his due credit for his leadership role and stellar play.
"Brunson has not been efficient" this guy has a job covering the nba?
NBA is saying its okay to throw stuff onto the court or at Refs because it's a slap on the wrist fine. Got it.
But everyone was clowing the suns now everyone is praising Minnesota 😂
Nuggets only want to beat lakers
How much trouble? Just bring in the broom.😄
Guys are tired
