Wow who saw this coming

Wolves fans traveled

We got MVP and Wolves in 4 chants going on in Denver

Minny should be thankful that the Lakers softened up the Nuggets for them

 

[LogicMan]

Must win ahead for Nuggs.

I think people (including myself) over-valued what Denver has done the last few years, mostly to the LAKERS.
Or more correctly, we over-valued the Lakers as a worthy opponent.

I dismissed all that talk that Denver has never ever played or beaten anyone that had a grear record.
But, maybe there is some truth to it.

This Jokic era squad has never beaten a 50 win team in the playoffs.

This 106 - 80 Wolves game 2 win over Denver...is the largest margin of victory in their franchise playoff history.
And it came on the road against the defending champs.

#Damn

Not by this score at least.

Depends on your definition of "good"...

Nah. I think its more Murray is hurt. When Murray is fully healthy, that squad is damn hard to beat. When he's not, they are very beatable. No disrespect to Jokic. He is the MVP and arguably the best player in the world the last couple of years, but that team is dramatically different on if Murray is out there and what version of Murray you're getting.

I will say if Minnesota wins it all I'll be happy TJ Warren gets a ring... He sacrificed his whole career for the Pacers inside the bubble. @Mecca

Bubble Warren was a monster.

Put 53 on the 76ers.

Averaged 31 for the duration of his time there.

Minnesota Fans should be thanking the Lakers for softening the Nuggets up for them.

….which is kinda poetic, seeing as you TECHNICALLY share a few banners.

Minny should be thankful that the Lakers softened up the Nuggets for them

Stop stealing my material.

 

[PPhan]

They are. They would have given any other team in the West a decent series.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Idiot “experts”

I think we have to question just how bad is LA haha?

 

[HurricaneDij39]

Only Larry Bird

Some peculiar behavior going on to say the least, which is why I asked... You can research any post of mine that you'd like and you won't ever find me blaming refs for a loss.

Playoffs are all about matchups. Denver has always been the worst matchup for LA. Minny a bad matchup for Denver. I think LA would give them a better series but I also didn’t think Minny would skulldrag the Nugs like this so far

 

[HurricaneDij39]

If Denver goes down 0-2…bruh.

Well... three days off before Game 3. Win that and it's a series again.

That said, I've been saying literally all season long that Malone needs to play more guys or else the starters will inevitably tire and become all too predictable... That is the reality that is happening right now.

Unfortunately I've got to agree w/ Barkley at this point... It's over. Only thing that could possibly prevent this is amnesia these next three days.

 

[msgkings322]

I had Wolves in 6 and I just have a hunch Denver wins game 3 and 5 and still loses in 6. Maybe wishful thinking but Denver is good enough to win Friday
