Series Thread: 2) Nuggets vs 3) T'Wolves

[DJ Fieri]

Denver has to win game 3 or this series is over.

 

[DJ Fieri]

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.

Honestly?

They need to win both in Minny, If they win just 1? Minnesota could close this out in game 5 in Denver.

Edwards.....

Too bad Gobert isn’t there you might be up by 40

Or maybe 10

 

[tlance]

How would you feel if they gave it to Wemby?

They won’t.

But he will be in the mix.

I would prefer that to Gobert.

Wemby going to get a few.

Bam should have at least 2 by now IMO.

Yet, we keep falling for the old habit of awarding the shot blocker on a top team defense.

This team is very good defensively with or without Gobert.

Imagine the T-Wolves winning a ring, how would NBA twitter even react?

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.

8 seed

Murray isn’t 100% so he isn’t there to carry them this year.

The same as Denver winning pretty much?

Yea people sold short the fact they got an overachieving Miami team in the finals and they are a bad matchup for LA.

But I'm not burying them just yet. But it looks bad.

Guess we all look dumb for mocking the Gobert deal

 

[LogicMan]

Anyone thinking Nuggs can pull this off still ?

They need to find a way to win game 3

Do we though?

Team looked pretty darn good to me without Rudy last night.

They also looked pretty darn good to me in the playoffs the season before they acquired Rudy.

Just my opinion…

But I think with this team’s trajectory they were going to be good with or without Gobert. The real reason they are legit is Anthony Edwards. And KAT can be the complimentary scorer that he was always meant to be.

Gobert just fits in as a high end role player and they paid a star price tag to acquire him.

stick a pin in the nuggetts,they,re done.

Or maybe 10

He really let his team down seeing his first child being born

I have to think it’s over now, I’ve seen nothing from them that looks like they can win 4 of 5. Murray is just not himself.

devestating thing to do.

The torch is being passed to the young teams, it’s going to happen soon by one of them, at least.

Very selfish
