116 | 16 hours ago

Everyone besides Jokic took all the shots and they were all completely terrible at giving the ball to him down low with Ant/DiVincenzo/McDaniels on him

At least tonight he had the foresight to say enough is enough of the THJ and Spencer Jones bullshit and do it himself

9SidedLemon | Nuggets

38 | 15 hours ago

That’s the one thing I miss about having Russ, say what you will but he was a great passer who could get the ball to Jokic in his spots, and when needed. Watching some of these guys attempt the slowest most telegraphed entry passes imaginable is beyond infuriating. The wolves d also clearly starting collapsing in on him more giving the others open looks which they couldn’t convert.

jbhoops25 | Nuggets

7 | 9 hours ago

That shit worked the first half of the season and then Russ became a turnover machine to Jokic once teams started playing their passing lanes. He was great against shitty teams that didn’t play defense.

NitroXYZ | UTA

89 | 16 hours ago

I’d love to see what the splits were with Gobert on vs off the court.

He was +18 today and it really felt like Denver had a layup line everytime he was on the bench.

JaderMcDanersStan | Timberwolves

65 | 16 hours ago

Yeah Rudy in the game gives us a chance and every time he went out Denver went on a run and the game swung. He is so insanely important to winning

KasherH | Nuggets

As someone who doesn’t think Wemby will hit the games limit, to me Gobert should be the CLEAR favorite to win DPOY.

Dependent-Effect6077 | Nuggets

Yeah Gobert basically caused that 17-0 run in the 2nd quarter by getting a bunch of stops

51 | 16 hours ago

the real final score was 131-128 everything after that was useless lol

Betaateb | Nuggets

36 | 16 hours ago

They were all intentional fouls and techs from the delay of game and subsequent crash out. If you start the take foul game with a minute left and hit your shots on the other end this is what happens.

They should just make the take foul 1 FT + possession to get rid of this shit.

The second tech was Ant flipping him off lmao. How is that not a tech? They apparently didn’t show it on tv but every single person in person saw it. There’s a reason he walked off flipping them all off right after

akhilu35 | Timberwolves

36 | 15 hours ago

Is that what happened? They didn’t show it on the broadcast. Been so confused

Bot12391 | Nuggets

Yes. After the first tech he did it and then he got the second. Then he walked off flipping off each ref individually. Fucking hilarious espn or whoever had the broadcast absolutely blew it

aw11348

18 | 13 hours ago

ESPN is so ass bro. Blocking audio when players talk under the basket. Not showing the technical foul that helped decide the whole game. Just show what happened. Idk if this is because of special rules they alone have to abide by, but the other national broadcasts dont have these issues

Sharcbait | Timberwolves

49 | 16 hours ago

It wasn’t even the techs, the late whistles, when the Wolves were pulling away in OT he ignored an intentional grab on Rudy when the Wolves looked for a foul THJ hit a 3 and pulled the game close. In the 4th Bruce Brown put up his hand to say it was him who committed the foul and the ref waved it off and gave Denver the side out. Tons of little plays through the game.

I quite literally get Chicago vs. Boston vibes, from the late 2000s, no matter how beaten up the squads were, chances it would be a banger are always higher then anything else.

Effective_Moose_4997 | Nuggets

Ant got fouled on a couple baskets that didn’t get called. The jokic turned Rudy foul should have been a no call. I don’t think ant should have got that second tech.

megasean | Spurs

16 | 15 hours ago

Ant pushed Jokic in front of a ref when he was getting ready for a foul shot a sequences or two prior to delay of game tech. I think Ant had used up his grace.

iHeartBush2 | Nuggets

Yeah I saw that too . Scott foster thought about calling a delay of game here, but swallowed his whistle.

greywolf2155 | Supersonics

A game that amazing, then ending in the most boring fucking way possible, is a goddamn shame

Isthismynextusername | Timberwolves

19 | 15 hours ago

Bad calls/no calls happen to every team. When the first tech was called, Ant should’ve been aware enough to realize his danger and calmed himself down. Rather, he prioritized getting the sense of satisfaction and risking the 2nd tech OVER working with his team to finish the game. The Wolves still had a chance after he was ejected. I get that he’s “only 24” but that was really selfish. I only hope that the Wolves staff can relay how he fucked up without alienating him.

Yeah I still have no idea how both Ant and Finch got techs there. Felt very weird, I’m sure we’ll get some insight from post-game interviews. But anybody complaining about the first Ant tech obviously either wasn’t watching the game or has no idea what the rules of the game are.

SpicyBananaKetchup

If he made his first free throw, they would’ve been down 3 and it would’ve been risky but made some sort of sense. But attempting that down 4 made absolutely no sense. And to do that without any consultation with his teammates or coaches was really stupid

Ericlennard

Ruined a classic. Guy always fucks the wolves and the NBA seems to assign him to every playoff series or prime time game we have. Awfully fishy but hey- I would never question the integrity of the only league with documented referee fixing. I’m sure it was an isolated incident

To be fair, I don’t think I’ve ever heard Jokic, SGA or Luka ever make excuses. Or justifications. They always just own it. Even Giannis makes random justifications now and then.

If you’re wondering what wilt would’ve looked like in the modern NBA, I feel like this is the closest we’re ever gonna get. He may be a pudgy unathletic Serbian who likes horses more than basketball but he’s been putting up impossible looking stat lines for going on 5 years now.

Thinking more and more I’d take Jokic in my all-time starting 5

Gobert is fucking unbelievable man, buddy probably shoots like 45% on point blank layups

And yet, he has the AUDACITY to cock back a FULL EXTENSION, MAX POWER TOMAHAWK DUNK in OT that gets promptly rim checked

Ant should get to hand pick the Minnesota correctional facility to leave this guy in until he gets that blank French look off his face and acquires the skill level of an average AAU 6th grader

Oh and fuck Scott Foster

Nah Wolves needed Rudy bad tonight. Nuggets regulation runs all came from him being on the bench in foul trouble. Typical loud Rudy offensive blunder taking away from an otherwise hugely impactful game.

Jokic is gonna get another MVP. This man is so clearly the best player in the world. And has been for 5 years.

Murray is finally gonna get his first All Star. Man is ice cold and always been so clutch.

As someone getting into basketball, this was a great game, but the ending of 4th quarters and overtimes with the fouling is hard to watch.

It seems like 1-2 minutes of game time can take 10-15min of real time.

Yeah there was too much ref action at the end but to be fair, Ant could’ve gotten ejected earlier if they T’ed him up for trying to tickle Jokic on the free throw line lol It was not smart of him to crash out in OT with the game so close. He sealed his team’s fate as much as anyone. Wild game all around.

If the only thing you have to say about that game is about the refs, then you’re the real ref fan. Because you don’t want to talk about basketball at that point.

Absolutely incredible performances by Jokic and Ant. Jokic played out of his fucking mind and I don’t know how he keeps doing it with 3 starters injured. Nice to see Jamal Murray redeem himself after a rough end to regulation.
