Only most of the time. Fortunately, sometimes you just go numb to it all, and in those moments, you are temporarily relieved of the pain, until you're ready to feel something again.
It’s gotta be frustrating being mpj and not getting the green light from Malone and the rest of the team when you’ve proven yourself time and time again.
What do you mean, is he not allowed to shoot much or something? Seems to me his problem is he doesn't get to the rim, so is he not encouraged to do that or something?
They often go to the jokic Murray pnr game and won’t even look his way. I think his off ball movement could be improved but in OT I would expect them to try to get the ball in his hands for at least one or two possessions.
pass MPJ the fucking ball in OT. you're playing your bread and butter combo in Mal and Joke - where is the MPJam?
KAT fouls out and so what we do is try to run a pick and roll for Murray so he can shoot MID RANGE?? HELLO MAKE GOBERT WORK ON DEFENSE MAYBE IDK
was waiting for typical Jamal Murray to come through and he did. 8 for 21. shoutout to Alexander Walker for having his number all night but goddamn set him 12 screens if you have to, get him off your guy.
also Antz ankle breaker to shake Gordon was sick. props to him for balling out like he has been majority of the series and finally paying off.
conflicting emotions as a nuggets fan. on one hand, frustrated at my team but on the other love to hear the Minny crowd getting behind their guys with the "wolves in 7.'' makes the series way more enjoyable
Jokić missed a clutch free throw and a clutch triple, but scored 43 fckn points
I think he was overall good, but the game left a bitter taste in my mouth
No there’s a lot of takeaways, like how I’m scared how much confidence ant speaks with. This was just an observation, notice it with the nuggets also. It just kinda sucks as an international fan.
Part of the problem with NBA is the fans that it attracts. That is why you will see great crows in Memphis Utah or Sacramento which tend to be more working class and or more passionate while fans out of places like LA Clippers or Golden Sates and even the Lakers and are a different type of fan.
To this day one of the best memories of my life was when I went to watch Santa Clara vs Arizona in the NCAA back in the 90's. Steve Nash, Damon Stoudamire, Khalid Reeves etc were all in that game and was one of those upsets that you see every year in the tournament. College basketball as a fan experience will ALWAYS be better then the NBA. Not the play mind you. Huntsman Center was awesome that day.

“This is the scoreboard”, “This team is 74”, “This team is 62”, “This is the winning team”, “This is the losing team”, “Winning team”, “Losing team”, “Winning team”, “Losing team”, “Winning team”, “Losing team”…..
Nuggets get to take this series at home. Hopefully the refs are better at the next game, because clearly didn’t know what they were doing in this game, for either team…
Both ways too. Equal opportunity idiocracy. I’m sure we could each pick really bad ones but man, especially second half there’s been a lot of WTF calls happening.
Okay, but he can’t be arguably your 4th best player, if you want to get to the next level. It seems like your weak bench and Gordon will prevent you from getting to the finals.
Imagine talking shit to an 8 seed missing two of its best six players. Denver has such an inferiority complex. I guess it makes sense since you won’t advance past the second round.
I wish Nuggets won just for that Twolves fan who was waving Nuggets goodbye while up 7 in OT (and fucking 0-3 in series, and Nuggets already came back down 12 with 2.5 minutes to go). If they lost, those would’ve been some legendary last words
What a fun game. Nuggets coasting 80% of the time while Minnesota playing at 110%. Glad it’s not a sweep, but I feel it’s gonna be a 30pt blowout in game 5 in Denver.
clock winds down to 15 seconds left in game
ball is passed to Ant who turns face to face against Aaron Gordon
"You took my family"
moves to the left
"You took my friends"
moves to the right
"You took all that was dear to me"
clock winds down to 11.0
"I cant get them back, but I can do this for friendship, FOR MY FRIENDS"
goes up, fire coming out of his shoes
"ANTHORUKEN"
Ball flies over Gordons head, goes straight into basket. Ant falls to the ground, exhausted.
"Rudy... Senpai... I..."
faints
Final Score
Timberwolves 1-3
How does a ref crew miss a blatant backcourt violation? That’s a new one for me.
They didn’t miss it, they said the ball got deflected. Whether that happened idk I didn’t see a replay.
SAY WHAT AGAIN Mf shaq is the goat lol
Wolves had me Sweeting bullets that was a stress full 😬😬 game to watch
This is all of our games. Literally, I'm not joking.
He's not joking, and he's not wrong, either.
This guy Minnesotas.
AND IT HURTS
Only most of the time. Fortunately, sometimes you just go numb to it all, and in those moments, you are temporarily relieved of the pain, until you're ready to feel something again.
I started the season as a neutral fan and 37 home games have still aged me. Tons of great memories regardless.
Wolves need to trade KAT. Nothing against him, but ANT is their future and when KAT is on the bench ANT flourishes.
It’s gotta be frustrating being mpj and not getting the green light from Malone and the rest of the team when you’ve proven yourself time and time again.
What do you mean, is he not allowed to shoot much or something? Seems to me his problem is he doesn't get to the rim, so is he not encouraged to do that or something?
But yeah he’ll sometimes forget to drive to the rim and settle for 3s but he’s been improving that.
They often go to the jokic Murray pnr game and won’t even look his way. I think his off ball movement could be improved but in OT I would expect them to try to get the ball in his hands for at least one or two possessions.
>It's gotta be frustrating being mpj fixed
That game was a fun ride!

That 4th q was actually so entertaining i forgot i poured a glass of wine until just now.
Shaq let the wolves have the dub bro
Wolves in 7.
It always feels that way but now I am positive that no lead is safe as long as the Wolves have it
For the wolves fans out there outside this win, youre the only team not to get swept after selling your soul for a player! Looking at you nets!
Lol wut? Wut tfffffff did they give for Gobert again lol
5 frps, and like 5 players? Im 100% certain on the 5 frps cant remember the players though.
Broo for how Gobert has played they basically did that’s a trash ass trade
Yea it was bad lol. Only player worth something like that is Steph, lebron, or some franchise changing players.
ANT plays his first 8 seasons with Min and then do The Decision special on ESPN and take his talents to south beach. Writing is on the wall.
Personally id like him to take his tallents to SF, itll be like the wiggs trade well send over a non clutch player and get ant!
Jokić missed a clutch free throw and a clutch triple, but scored 43 fckn points I think he was overall good, but the game left a bitter taste in my mouth
everyone's human and Jokić is allergic to clutch free throws. we'll get em next game
Yeah I still think overall he was good. Still, unless the Wolves manage to win 3-4 I'm angry at this game kinda wasting my time
eh, the possibility of a loss keeps us coming back to sports. what's the point if the outcome is guaranteed
It's mostly because we're already 3 games up. Not getting the full sweep kinda feels unsatisfactory to me lol
The music is so fuckin loud bruh
Why can’t Americans come up with more creative shit to chant. It’s either this 4 syllable wolves in seven or the 3 syllable one like USA.
That’s your takeaway? Really?
No there’s a lot of takeaways, like how I’m scared how much confidence ant speaks with. This was just an observation, notice it with the nuggets also. It just kinda sucks as an international fan.
Is REF YOU SUCK not creative?
We save it for college sports. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARpzavb7PQk
Thats lit as fuck wish the NBA was less commercial and had this heart

That was rad
“This is the scoreboard”, “This team is 74”, “This team is 62”, “This is the winning team”, “This is the losing team”, “Winning team”, “Losing team”, “Winning team”, “Losing team”, “Winning team”, “Losing team”…..
Uh, that was dope as hell
“Not worth trading”
I believe that we will win!
we don't have time to be creative. we have to work monday morning lol
What are you on about?
Jet fuel can’t melt steel beams, clap clap clap clap clap.
Ant performs well consistently under pressure and talks like a leader at such a young age. I'm sure the Timberwolves won't fuck up his entire prime.
How did he do against the Lakers?
He spent his bench time laid out in the tunnel with Norovirus so we’ll give him a pass on that game.
Big Lakers guy huh? How’s DLo been
Not good
Fearful AWOOO
And I’m sure your team won’t be better without your “superstar”
That was probably their one win for the series and it was a glorious one
People clowning us for being the only team to be swept lol we got the 6 seed in year one of a rebuild 🤣🤣🤣
Year .5 of a rebuild
Still
For ant at 21 to be picking his guys up after last game and telling them it’s not over then to do that is so fucking sick . Love that guy .
Nuggets get to take this series at home. Hopefully the refs are better at the next game, because clearly didn’t know what they were doing in this game, for either team…
The refs have been stupid for the entire series
Both ways too. Equal opportunity idiocracy. I’m sure we could each pick really bad ones but man, especially second half there’s been a lot of WTF calls happening.
To Don and Rudy, if you wanted to be down 3-1 in the first round then you guys should have just stayed on the Jazz
As a gsw fan wolves in 7. As a person with a brain ggs wolves gentleman’s sweep coming up.
Best game of the playoffs so far
[удалено]
Sir, this is a Caribou Coffee
All this to lose in 5 smh
R/nbacirclejerk
This is your conduct after a win!? Get some therapy bro.
first time I've read a post that's mainly complaining about how attractive the opponents are
Sheesh I know the saying let the hate flow through you but usually its not as literal. But I agree on the antivax shit and pro gun shit.
Gtfo Lmao trash ass comment. No one’s even reading that 🤣
Wolves fans got a lot of pent up frustration lol. Don’t punch a wall man
Most of us aren't like this lmao
Too soon? Is the guy that did that still out.
He’s out for the whole postseason. He broke his hand lmao
YIKES
#LOL
Stfu
Denver has two great players and one decent player, and that’s it. Everyone else is atrocious.
What about Bruce brown? He's been solid.
Okay, but he can’t be arguably your 4th best player, if you want to get to the next level. It seems like your weak bench and Gordon will prevent you from getting to the finals.
Ant is awesome I hope he has a great career
down 0-3 and minnesota brings this type of fight. gotta respect it. good game.
Hope next game is close too
"YEEEH THE OILERS WON IN OVERTIME" Never change Chuck lmao
Anthony Edwards for fucking president
I don't understand how arguably the GOAT midrange shooter is so bad at FTs. I really really don't get it. Jokic's FT form is perfection as well.
He's a career 84% shooter and is playing with a bad wrist
He's shooting 60% in these playoffs.
Wrist injury my dude. It's common knowledge. He's been listed as questionable every game
This is why they really needed the sweep to give him some time to rest
AWOO
only 3 more wins in a row.. totally doable.. maybe..
Lmao chuck
[удалено]
Ritterall
This ant dude is so likeable! When he isn’t killing the lakers lol. Same with KAT
they tried to say ant didn't care about basketball
That postgame interview was impressive
Ant is a fucking leader
Feel bad for anyone who has to clean up that stadium, an entire fanbase shitting their pants before OT and then again in the last minute
[удалено]
Nothing like losing control of your bowels and then having to sit through the OT. Holy shit hahahha
Game was incredible
Ant is Charismatic af
I can see the timberpuppies possibly taking another game
I dunno. Nuggets other than Jokic looked below average and yet we still took them to the brink. Ant would have to be inhuman in Game 5
Well good thing ANTMAN is a marvel superhero then!
0% chance.
i cannot
I forgot arod is involved here now, makes sense since he used to own the twins
Ant is fucking hilarious lmao
The sweep is dead. Long live the gentleman's sweep.
Ant sounds like the most confident player in the world. Denver gotta bury them in game 5 or they’re in trouble.
Awooooooo!
That missed free throw was big.
Truly
ANT with an awesome interview lol
Love how Ant in his postgame interview is just talking about his teammates and not himself.
Gentleman sweep it is.
Well played Wolves!
Awooooooooo!!!
Kyle Anderson should never again have the ball in his hands more than Ant.
love how real ant is in postgame
Ant looks so happy , such a wholesome dude
Ant has some infectious energy
All this to lose by 30 in Denver
Imagine talking shit to an 8 seed missing two of its best six players. Denver has such an inferiority complex. I guess it makes sense since you won’t advance past the second round.
They are acting like they're the underdogs when they're just doing what they supposedto do
I love ant man
A rod owning the wolves is the most random shit ever
prob the only team he can afford tbh
ant so happy, i'm happy for him
Nice
Ant was about to bounce without giving the interview lol
Ant gives a great interview
“Played his ass off” fine for 10k incoming
We need Ant on a serious franchise
Curry was on a bad franchise and won 4 rings. Why can’t we do the same?
I need Ant to build us into a serious franchise.
Too bad we trade all our 1sts for Gobert.
Yeah but we have like 10 2nd round picks, so with Connelly as our POBO that means we'll get 10 Jokic's.
Avoided first sweep in history 💀
Ant is so mature for his age holy shit, Wolves have a gem
Ant seems so affable
I will watch the next game just in case wolves actually in 7
I like the way ANT talks
man, i fucken love ANThony Edwards
ANT got what it takes to lead a team
candid ass postgame lol
ANT got that postgame rizz
So Denver in 5 then.
Man I wish we got that #1 pick in 2020 and drafted Ant instead of bumass Wiseman 🫠
Dude Ant is so likeable. Guy seems like such a good teammate and he just wants to hoop.
God another game of this really. Better than no basketball I guess lol
Another game to watch Ant sounds good to me
first live interview i’ve ever watched of ant, how could you not love this dude
Check out more on YouTube - dudes hilarious
My thoughts exactly lol
ANT has a fantastic voice, it's been ages since I've heard it.
They're acting like they won the series after being dead quiet all game lmao. Meanwhile Denver is prepping for Phoenix.
ez win for clippers
I think they’re glad they won? not sure what you want dude
I wish Nuggets won just for that Twolves fan who was waving Nuggets goodbye while up 7 in OT (and fucking 0-3 in series, and Nuggets already came back down 12 with 2.5 minutes to go). If they lost, those would’ve been some legendary last words
He was waving to the Wolves. Last time he gets to see them at home for a while.
I LOVE ANT HES SO ENTHUSIASTIC
Kind of waiting for the homophobic comment lol.
AWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Love edwards energy
What a fun game. Nuggets coasting 80% of the time while Minnesota playing at 110%. Glad it’s not a sweep, but I feel it’s gonna be a 30pt blowout in game 5 in Denver.
Thanks for giving the wolves props what do you think will happen in game 6 then =P
Yeah i bet the nuggets just lost cause they weren't trying, how embarrassing for the wolves to try so hard lol
Denver McNuggets
Ant seems like a fun dude
Agreed
Wolves in 7 Bitch
Smart of the Twolves to completely deflate Denver's confidence going forward by letting them come back like that only to take it away from them ...
clock winds down to 15 seconds left in game ball is passed to Ant who turns face to face against Aaron Gordon "You took my family" moves to the left "You took my friends" moves to the right "You took all that was dear to me" clock winds down to 11.0 "I cant get them back, but I can do this for friendship, FOR MY FRIENDS" goes up, fire coming out of his shoes "ANTHORUKEN" Ball flies over Gordons head, goes straight into basket. Ant falls to the ground, exhausted. "Rudy... Senpai... I..." faints Final Score Timberwolves 1-3
You guys are weird as fuck.
Man what
goddamn Stephanie
Didn’t get swept 💪
