    It’s crazy how a team that has what is considered the best homecourt advantage in the NBA lost 3 of 4 at home. In a competitive series at that.

  2. Balls_of_Adamanthium

    Knew this shit was over when Gobert stole Jokic powers and hit that bullshit shot.

  3. crackdup

    McDaniels and Reid woke up today and chose violence..

  4. toasta_oven

    Giving up completely in game 7 down only 7 with 30 seconds to go is crazy

  5. TheBoilerCat

    I absolutely can’t believe someone blew a 20 point lead in a Game 7 today and it wasn’t us…

  6. MakeAShadow

    Incredible mental fortitude from the Wolves. 20 point comeback to knock out the defending champions. AWOOOOOOOOOO!

  7. YouKantseeme

    Wow what an incredible win for Wolves and heartbreaking loss for Nuggets. This will be a night to remember for both fanbases in different ways.

  8. Noriskhook3

    What a collapse, the wolves defense were suffocating the nuggets and they couldn’t get anything going in the last 8 minutes. Anthony Edwards time is now. Mavs VS Wolves will be amazing.

  9. HokageEzio

    You gotta feel happy for KAT. Top 3 player in franchise history and stuck it out through all the noise, just played the best defense of his life on a 3x MVP in his house to take the team to the WCF. Take a bow.

  10. The_Peachy_Pussy

    This is the best kind of Game 7. Everyone is healthy, and the presumed better team just got beat

  11. HouseMassive4507

    Credit to T-Wolves. Mavs-T-Wolves will be a fun series.

  12. wichita_gator

    Denver should’ve took a page from our book. Can’t blow a 20pt lead at home in Game 7 if you go down by 40 early.

  13. TSSFranco

    Can’t say enough about Gobert going 7-9 from the line in this lol

  14. That might have been one of the inexplicable meltdowns I’ve ever seen from a team in the playoffs. I think 60-34 since the second half started, or something along those lines. 95%+ chance at winning by ESPN

  15. imanidiot2012

    I’m so happy for all the Minnesota fans out there. I’ve never seen a game with so many questionable calls go against the team that won. Great second half.

  16. coloradobuffalos

    Wolves and Mavs like we all expected

  17. MathematicallyWrong

    McDaniels attempting that last second dunk was nasty work

  18. thebohster

    When you got Rudy hitting turnaround fadeaway jumpers over Jokic, you just gotta pack it up.

  19. losing by 50+ on the road, then giving up a 20 point lead at home is certainly a way to go out as defending champs

  20. 3luejays

    Nuggets in the second half:

    Post up.
    Brick.
    Bank shot.
    Brick.
    ISO.
    Brick.
    Free throw.
    Brick.
    Pass out.
    Brick.
    Sub in.
    Brick.
    Faded.
    Brick.
    Faded
    Brick.

    Am I crazy, wtf was that ending? Teams give up way too early all the time, but that was truly abhorrent. It’s not jut some regular season game. Seriously, wtf? Have they never seen the TMAC highlight? Genuinely ridiculous how often this kinda shit happens IN THE PLAYOFFS

  22. Duzblimpin

    Rudy turning into jokic for one shot was the beginning of the end.

  23. KAT has beaten the Dlo allegations these playoffs. He’s been amazing on both ends this post season.

  24. incredibleamadeuscho

    In the biggest game of his life, Karl Anthony Towns was the best player on his team. He played like a number one overall pick.

  25. smithdog223

    Ever since Murray threw that heating pad on the court I’ve been praying for the Nuggets downfall.
