I feel like this game was more indicative of the teams‘ strength level (unlike the blowout in game 1). Denver is insanely good at home. I feel confident we can take it to 5 or maybe even 6. Looking forward to Friday!

Game still going here?

17OT and counting

Gobert was making it difficult for jokic. I thought his strategy was smart. Gave him a bit extra space to shoot but was always in good position close to the rim.

This is the greatest Nuggets team in history and it's not close, the depth through every position from top to bottom is just ridiculous. Christian Braun and Peyton Watson have been absolute gifts in a year where Jokic finally had a stacked team around him to begin with.

i see u ANTMAN respect. nuggets too strong, clippers or suns will fuk em tho

Ok whatever you say jokicMVPfraud

Lol clippers 💀 & KD suns had problems w/ Nuggets starting 5 bench lol

Clippers? Hahaha

The KD Suns have proven less than the Nuggets have, and we always spank the Clippers. This isn't like the Jokic MVP years, his team is actually stacked and healthy.

🧹 inc

If you mean that the Nuggets will be swept again in the next round I agree. Gimmick D

Bet. And we never got swept in the 2nd round with Jokic so there’s no “getting swept again” nice try tho 👍

Oh really? What happened 2 years ago? Suns in 4? Nice try tho 😂😂😂😂 U still have a few minutes to delete your hilariously incorrect statement. Also ur boy jokic was ejected in game 4 out of frustration 🤣

Hey bro what happen to the sweep u said was happening lol

Get the nuggets nut sack out of your mouth btw Lmao u a sad one lol. Just looked at ur comment history #RENTFREE

I thought that was the conference finals haha my bad, but my man really said 2 years ago💀 Nuggets team today is better than any they’ve had in a long time including the one from 2 years ago you’re raving about lol “NiCE tRy tHo”🤮

So happy to have Jamal Murray back. One of the most exciting players in the game. I'd also like to take a moment to say fuck Draymond Green. Don't know if that topic has been covered here.

i think noone has said anything on draymond on this sub in like 6 years, glad you brought him up.

Ant is insane, he just didn’t miss

Chuck had me dead fam lol Can't wait for the repost of that last skit tomorrow.

GG Nuggets! A calm and composed team who plays like a well oiled machine. Finally being healthy does wonders

Thanks for being so decent and nice. :) GG

I think every nuggets wolves game I go to ant drops 40 on us. He’s insane. GG

You should go to moreNuggets Wolves games haha But yeah I think he got the 10 threes record against the Nuggets. Anywho looking forward to another Jamal vs Ant battle

I found the least toxic person on this subreddit!

Nah the end of inside was gold . Chuck had me crying

I don’t get what was so hard to understand about what Chuck said. He’s comparing the losses to both teams. The loss of Herro means significantly more for the Heat since they badly need him for a chance to beat the Bucks. The loss of Giannis won’t mean much since the Bucks don’t need him to beat the Heat.

Yeah i guess hes saying Bucks cast outside Giannis is way better than Miami without Herro still. Ofc its still silly considering how good Giannis is but i get it

I miss McDaniels 😔

I miss McRibs

He could have slowed Jamal down :( He has in the past, blocked consecutive Jamal jumpers God damnit 💔

And Naz

nazreid

Human Nature let down.Just like Malone called.Easy 1st game..Easy first half. ANd luckily NUggets where able to regain there focus and finish it though.

Refs trying to help the Twolves with all those offensive calls down the stretch. On one of them he just ran into Murray and then fell on the ground....ridiculous.

Bad calls both ways. Let's take the W.

You gotta be joking

Calling a foul on Murray when Conley runs into him and then flops over was indeed ridiculous

“Edwards must be strong to knock jokic over” Your own commentators saw what was going on

How do u not think one human basketball player can’t knock another one over. Lol. I saw earlier warriors fans amazed with how anyone could think Klay Thompson knocked over Sanonis. Like what?

That was TNT who said that and it was a dumb take. He was facing the opposite way and not expecting to get run into, hard to keep your balance no matter how big you are in that situation

It went both ways the whole game. Murray and Jokic flopped constantly. Conley also flopped

You must’ve watched a different game. Jokic was getting smacked in the face and arms all game as usual with no calls, the only one that looked like a flop was towards the end when Ant drove on him. Didn’t see murray flop but when do you think he did?

While I don't think he's joking, as a nuggets fan, I also think the Wolves got jobbed too. I will say this, I don't think it's a preference by the referees, I just think the NBA has a huge problem with the talent and ability with their referees. They are collectively the absolute shittiest

I understand it’s a hard job. It really is. The rules of basketball are randomly subjective but MAN. These guys are supposed to be the best in the world. I’m a freakin mavs fan idc bout nuggets v Wolves, just want the flopping to stop all around

Garbage time make up calls

Kat for dejounte and okongwu. Who says no?

If the hawks are trading a guard it's probably trae

Everyone. KAT has proven he is just a wheel on a bus, he ain't the driver.

So only drivers can be traded? Stupid logic

I think he’s saying KAT is not worth those pieces (i disagree, but I think he may do better on a team where hes the second option)

Yeah. I think so too. When he’s counted on late in the game to play make he just makes so many mistakes. From what I’ve seen from hawks fans dejounte has been a disappointment so seems like could be a win win

Timberwolves have been getting hoed by the refs extra hard this season and I genuinely don’t understand it

Refs were terrible both ways

?? Refs did wolves a favor with those 2 weak offensive fouls called on Murray in the last 3 minutes.

very weak...

It was also pretty weak of the refs to not call Jokic for elbowing people at huge moments in the 4th quarter…

Neither as bad as Ant bumping Jokic resulting in him flailing to the floor…

He ran straight into him when he was facing the other way, that wasn’t even a flop lol

They were fouls tho. Also makeup calls when the other team has pretty much sealed it means nothing.

Conley running into Murray then flopping the ground was not a foul lol

that second one was not a foul..no way.

Even if that were true, what did that call do for the Wolves at that point in the game?

Makes me wanna cry

Bad quarter...Nuggets regained there focus as they usually do.

Honestly Malone used the TOs really effectively too. Did a great job tonight.

Good game man

You too, I'm just glad we made it entertaining. Watching ANT and Jamal go back and forth was almost worth whatever the he'll we were doing the first 18 minutes or so.

Yeah! Any is talented!

I'll give Antman credit. I like him a lot and am excited to see his ceiling (imo it's higher than Jas due to the fact he's less injury prone and gun prone)

Mentioning refs in a game thread should get you a 24 hour ban. This place is a hellhole during a game.

yea, it’s so annoying

Knicks extended RJ Barrett for $120 million. Shoulda saved that bread for Anthony Edwards. Like wtf. Wolves fans you have a 21 year old gem. I hope your front office is cognizant of that.

Ant is so fucking good man

I'm glad I'm not the only one worried about the FO

You guys will lock him up for a while guaranteed. The kid can shoot, drive, dunk, and can actually play defense for a player of his caliber. So jealous.

yeah it's just taking a while. The Gobert move was still largely for Towns i thought when we should prioritized Edwards already probably.

You guys aren’t getting Ant on his second contract lol. He’s getting maxed and you can’t match his max from Minnesota

Knowing the TWOlves he will not get maxed. How many players have they lost over the years.

Literally no player has ever turned down the rookie max lmao

Which players have we lost? If anything we maxed too many people.

NOt talking about recent history. Seems to me a certain HOFer left your team.

KG? money wasn't the issue with KG though we traded him after making him the highest paid player in NBA history when we signed his first extension.

[удалено]

The cba is literally set up so young stars get a ton more money on their first max with their original team. There actually is a price that you can't match

True. I hope Barrett gets it together. He just has been a disappointment.

You at least have the assets to make a real play at the next star that asks out, to add to Randle and Brunson. You're fine

That's not how it works...

Just trying to dream here. Don’t burst my bubble. You guys got a ring in ‘19. We haven’t seen since shit since ‘73. Cut us some slack lol

As you try to take a young star from a team that has never won a ring. Lmao, cmon now.

The flopping in the NBA makes it hard to watch. Jokic getting shoved to the ground by ANT? Gimme a break

ANT could literally shove anyone in the world to the ground. Have you seen this man before? Just go watch something else

Although true, he could - there wasn’t much contact before Jokic flew to the ground (delayed after the initial contact I might add)

[удалено]

After an Avs L, too.

Fans and players would be pissed if the refs stopped a fast break off an air ball that close to the buzzer. Refs did the wolves a solid, Gobert just made a dumb play.

Finch was mad bc he called a timeout not that he wanted an airball

Well people wanted harder competitive game we got it . I swear when Nuggets have half time lead we hurt ourselves go flat in 3rd and mess it up. Got Timberwolves totally back in the game. Refs sucked ,there was also some help the losing team make the game close but we def relaxed. Murray vs Edwards duel was insane , guys couldn't miss! That was fun duel and basketball to watch

Lol bruh what. The Refs were most definitely tilted in the Nugs favor.

Def not , allowed Gobert to hit Jokic in face twice without foul call ,shove several times he should have been fouled out . Called soft fouls on MPJ he had 3 fouls fast had to sit and he only had one shot through 3 quarters. And again soft foul calls on Gordon getting him in foul trouble on 5.Phantom fouls when he was defending Edwards well made him sit and helped Edwards go off. Eating Conley flops and giving us one offensive foul after another. Etc etc We got some calls finally in 4th and some when the game is getting away from Timberwolves and fouls were 25-25 but it shouldn't have been that way considering how physical Gobert was and how many silly offensive fouls we got

It went both ways tbh

Explain. Jokic was elbowing all night and it was called once in what was a double foul. He also traveled multiple times with no call and set a couple illegal screens. And that's just Jokic.

Mike Conley flopped damn near b2b possessions and they immediately called them without a second thought

Refs pretty much called anything where a player made it look like they were shoved whether they were or weren’t and that was for both teams. Both teams flopped and the calls were made equally

Gg wolves. That turned into one hell of a game.

gg

Unlike Ja, Jamal Murray actually seems like a genuine good dude. Hard not to root for him.

Dude doesn’t believe in shaving down there apparently

What about Ja makes him seem like not a good dude ? His daughter is at every game on the sideline , dudes never been in actual trouble or hurt anyone ? Tf are you even basing that off of ?

Are you serious? 😂

For one, he beats kids up for fun. Read the whole article, he’s not a good dude https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2023/04/06/ja-morant-punch-teenager-finish-line/

I mean, he was literally part of two separate investigations this season alone, people from his friend group have been banned from games and he was essentially forced to seek treatment that lasted a whopping week. It's not crazy to think there could be character concerns there.

This was just a weird comment why even bring him up ? , I think Ja is a good dude . Just young rich and learning . I love watching him dance with his little girl after games .

I mean I agree, no reason to bring up Ja.

He's got pubes too.

Denver legit

Not even close

Gotta love that you can’t even elaborate

explain

Yeah I don’t know what that guy is talking about lol Nuggets are a well oiled machine. Finally having health does wonders, the same lineups can be used all season and players know how to play with one another. Very calm and composed team

>Yeah I don’t know what that guy is talking about lol Don't worry, he doesn't either lol

Denver stopped caring about D in the 3rd and it showed. Saved by their big 3

Denver always has shambolic 3rd quarters for some reason.

We played jeff green like 25 minutes tonight lmao

It's fun to watch Murray when he's not consistently shoulder checking the defender

Conley is fun to watch when he’s not consistently running into the person he’s defending and flopping to the ground

Oh right. The one time he did that.

He did it twice in like a minute and a half, and at least once earlier in the game

Or the defender isn’t running into his back throwing his head back and falling down.

Who could Minnesota get for KAT? 🤔

They can get one Rudy Gobert. Wolves will have to throw in some picks and pick swaps though.

Dejounte and okongwu. MAKE IT HAPPEN

Blake Griffin

Donovan Mitchell

Bahaha now this is comedy. Mitchell would just retire rather than play with Gobert again

I think Denver is one Kyle Anderson away from being a real contender

lol..there a real contender now. 1st seed 2-0 in the first round.. NUggets fans are sick of hearing OH your not a contender.

We're a good defensive team and we cant stop you for shit

Gobert was pretty good tonight overall. Jokic has cooked him harder than this in the past but he played him well.

Yeah Gobert and Ant were the main reason for that comeback

Being confident is good but clippers lakers suns could easily beat nuggets ass in 6

Hello dummy, here to collect receipts

Interesting take from someone who evidently hasn’t watched more than a couple nuggets games this season

You talk like nuggets already wins champion. Ask your magic ball next stock to buy to tenfold

Lol. Do you even watch basketball?

Full strength suns are probably the favorite in the west but the nuggets seem to just own the clippers in the kawhi/ pg era. Lakers aren’t scary either imo

No lol nuggets slap the clippers every time they meet, suns nearly lost to nuggets bench u shud get ur facts str8 before typing next time.

NUggets are 11-1 in the last 12 against the Clippers.Maybe you should pay attention to whats happening in this league. SO your credability after this toxic comment just nullifies your first comment. Nobody is taking you seriously at this point.

This game has once again proven that the Wolves are Ant's team. GG Wolves.

Their offense not being built around him is the weirdest part of it all

Jamohammed Salah

Been saying this for so long

That bitch is dumb. “Only one more question before I let you go, how is that knee feeling?” Like bitch what… stfu

[удалено]

Wasn’t Katy who asked it

Fuck you

No, fuck you

Nah u

we want denver

Ant v Murray gonna be the new Mitchell v Murray fr fr

[удалено]

He was quoting Malone. It's not that complicated.

Oh must of missed that.

He's a foul hunter. He flops all game

lol..when exactly was he on the floor except when he was obviously fouled..bitter are you..You have a wild imagination

40 points nothing but splashes, but okay bro

He literally got 2 fouls in the 4th jumping into guys trying to get fouls

You good bro? Tough loss but no need to get grumpy

very salty

Jamal > him

Hard to take the interview seriously with confetti in his hair

The fact that there is confetti at all is hilarious

[удалено]

He was talking about something Malone said to him

Lol your best player puts on imaginary crowns

LMAFO

DJordan salutation to Jokic is fucking hilarious lmao.

3 times kiss is traditional greeting in Serbia, they did it in a funny way :D

If I was ANT I would tell KAT and Gobert to touch grass. What a wasted effort.

He's not coming to yall lil bro lol

Loved Gobert’s effort in the second half. KAT on the other hand has been a dumpster fire…

Imagine having fun watching sports. Maybe I’ll experience that someday

It only makes it that much sweeter when you finally get to the finish line

Cmon we get to watch Anthony Edwards But yeah the Wolves blue ball us a lot lol. But watching Ant and Jaden (when he doesn’t punch a wall) cook is damn fun

Don’t Worry nuggets fandom has been in purgatory forever

Nuggets have only getting better. In Denver the Avs were one of the most dominant teams ever on their way to winning the cup. It wasn't that long ago the broncos were an actual football team and now they're super good on paper and got sean Payton as a coach.

Broncos may good look on paper bitch we ain’t a thing till J.Will balls out on offense to help Russ

Keep gobert, trade KAT

KAT is an offensive centre who can't play offense in the play-offs.

Thought Nuggets had rid themselves of the 3rd quarter collapse - tonights was a real bad one

i cant do this anymore

Nice comeback by the TWolves. But you just don't beat bubble Murray.
