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

And that’s cause Jokic is white. Never fails.

I do think there Is truth to this.

That works both ways. The great white hope theme doesn't work as well when the guy is foreign.

Not surprised at all that the Wolves won game 7 but am absolutely shocked that they did it with Edwards scoring only 16 points

They finally pulled out the secret weapon that the Wolves have been hiding all season:

Rudy Gobert turnaround jumper.

I've never seen him miss that shot.

Of course last night was the first time I have seen him take it, but still at 100% as far as I or anyone else knows. The ultimate weapon.

Timberwolves are arguably the greatest game 7 team of all time


sadly we just don't go to game 7 very often

I think the Wolves finally took advantage of their huge size advantage

This game had the clearest sign of Ant becoming a superstar. He was having a terrible game and his shot was not falling at all. Instead of trying to force the issue when it was not his not he shifted over to Murray and Murray's game dropped off a cliff.

Finding a way to significantly positively impact a game on an off night is amazing.

And unlike Jokic, Towns beat a 50 win team in the playoffs.

Remind me, what is Embiid’s playoff record against 50 win teams again?

Maybe that’s why you’re so happy, Embiid has some company and you like that.

 

[Duffman]

MVP

Fits the NBA narrative then because they also gave MVP last year to a guy who’s never beaten a 50 win team in the playoffs either.

It’s a shame Embiid can’t find an 8 seed a 5 seed a 7 seed and an 8 seed and get to call himself a champion.

You know after the 15th time you posted that you think you would get it right, the Suns were a 4 seed last year not a 5.

And I know they wanted Embiid last year in the finals but he happened to lose to that 8th seed in the 2nd round….AGAIN.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Oh that’s a dramatic difference.

The Celtics were an 8 seed? Hmmm

Does it feel good? You don’t have to watch sports anymore; you can get back into your flow of vomiting narratives.

Oh that’s right my bad, I was thinking two years ago when you lost to the 8th seed Hawks.

 

[Duffman]

So I’m in the same boat as you then since none of my teams are still in their playoffs.

It sucks but that’s life and you move on.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Oh that’s right my bad, I was thinking two years ago when you lost to the 8th seed Hawks.

4 seed. No big deal. I get it. You really aren’t a sports fan so asking you to remember that kind of stuff is too much of an ask.

 

[fightinfunbags]

So I’m in the same boat as you then since none of my teams are still in their playoffs.

Nah not the same. I’m actually a sports fan. I don’t need to have my teams involved to follow sports.

It sucks but that’s life and you move on.

Sorry I just get all of Embiid’s playoff exits confused because it happens so early every year.

Jokic really only struggles against 50 win teams, Embiid struggles against everybody.

Embiid can't find the court often enough against any seed.
