Series Thread: 1st Round: 3) Denver Nuggets vs 6) Minnesota Timberwolves

[ducky]

Congrats Wolves. Ton of heart. Prepare to be swept.

That’s silly.

They didn’t sweep Portland. They ain’t sweeping us.

This is the series that Randle could really go off. Spurs like to play small and our size alone will make this a tougher matchup for them then most expect.

Hilarious how this Wolves team has won 5 playoff series the last 3 years and still no one respects them as a decent team.

Yeah, that's a bad loss. You can't have a player like Jokic and lose to a team without Ant.

You’re missing an important player or two

In game 1 Spurs are 14.5 point favorites just sayin

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfer]

Serious props to the Twolves.

 

[Old Sweater]

Schoolyard Murray fuked us!

 

[bksballer89]

Yeah doubt the wolves get swept. Built for the playoffs and sounds like ant back early enough

Without ant, donte,dosnumu banged up ...I can see it.

I'll take the win and ending Denver season. Sucks we're so injured

Didn't realize Aaron Gordon was so important to the Denver defense until this stretch.

He’s important all around, they had no heart in this series.

Peyton Watson is one of their better defenders too.. and he was playing really well.

Not starting the Twolves Spurs series until Monday seems a bit long.

Eh, could have some series go 7

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Hopefully we get at least one game 7 Sunday (cough Detroit)

Don’t want to start that series too early. Had they started it on Saturday then damn good chance they would have played 2 games before the okc series starts

 

[thunderc]

That Braun contract is going to age very poorly

He and Jaden McDaniels have close to the same contract. Who would you rather have?

To be fair, I’m pretty certain he doesn’t make that comment if the Wolves were down their top 10 league wide player and other starting guard

With questions around their top back up guard

Your overall point is valid tho. Was insane that all of ESPN had the nuggets winning that series to start. And I think only one even had it go 7.

But it’s ESPN. Expect the stupid.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Denver probably regrets gunning for the 3 seed now.

Tough spot either way.

Go hard for the 3 and get the most battle tested non OKC team that has played you to a 50/50 war for 3 years

Or let off and get 4/5 for easier matchup but OKC side of the bracket.

Denver’s issue is they are too flawed for a 7 game series. So both paths weren’t gonna be ideal.

Is this a trick question lol

 

[thunderc]

Is this a trick question lol

Not even close, there is a clear answer lol. Did you watch the series?

Yea Jaden
