[Highlight] The Minnesota Timberwolves take a 2-1 series lead as they defeat the Denver Nuggets 113-96. They held Denver to 28⁄82 from the field (34.1%) and Ayo Dosunmu led Minnesota with playoff career-highs of 25 points and 9 assists.
Should have chosen the Rockets
Especially if JDub is going to be out for the second round. Could have faced the Rockets without KD and the Thunder without JDub
I think OKC would’ve won in round 2 but yeah. Seeing the LAKERS about to sweep the rockets is hilarious. Denver wish they threw that game against SA
If I were the Nuggets, I’d still rather try to face OKC after a cakewalk first round, because you never know when injuries can happen and now they might not even be getting to face the Spurs at all.
The thing is, if you’re seriously aiming for the title, you’d have to play OKC in the 3rd round anyways.
I mean, aside from Jokic who needed to play for postseason awards, they basically benched everyone else against the Spurs.
Jokic should have played like this against them
we ain’t dodging anyone… Wolves played better tonight but series ain’t over yet.
Jaden called half this team out by name and then bitched each and every one of them
With Wemby’s injury and the Spurs’ inexperience, the Timberwolves may be the best team outside of OKC in the West.
Ants injury might be more concerning than this serious has shown. Luckily other n players have stepped up and we matchup well for that. But ants clearly not 100%
Yeah, he looks well south of 100%. All the grimacing and trips to the locker room were not encouraging.
Wolves best chance for a deep run might be to get this series over with quickly and hope that Spurs v Blazers goes long (not that crazy if Wemby misses a week), which could give him as much as a week of rest.
He’s not going to the locker room. The bike is right outside the tunnel that he rides. Still not ideal obviously but he’s not getting looked at or treated.
Series isn’t over. I think Denver will come back hard in Game 4 (depends on AG though). With these 2 teams, the series is always unpredictable.
I’d still pick a fully healthy Spurs over the Wolves. At some point, having a lot of experience without having achieved the ultimate success can actually hurt you. The Spurs would definitely be playing with more house money on top of having the best player in the series and home-court advantage.
The constant wemby praise is out of control
The guys a freak. If you can’t see that you’re not watching
Especially when Randle bullies him
They have made back to back conference finals what are we doing here lol
How can more playoff experience hurt you? Do explain.
As far as I know and understand Gobert can guard Wemby to some extent, also Julius Randle and Naz Reid can abuse/body the smaller forwards/wings of Spurs. Not to mention Mcdaniels and Ayo Dosunmu can guard Fox and Castle competently. And Anthony Edwards have their number since he can just score against them comfortably
“I can wait for his podcast” -dweeb
The Jaden McDaniels podcast is just 10 minutes of his cohost naming players and Jaden going “pussy”
Episode 1 will go triple platinum
I would love for KG to bring Jaden on his show. Jaden just sitting there deadpan while KG is freaking out for about 30min
Big ticket and Slim ticket!
He thinks it’s a good response. Reminds me of online soccer/football fans and asking “do you know Lebron?” and they say some BS like “Who? He plays pingpong right?”
Fucking cornball.
Jokic is not better than prime lebron James or steph curry and it was an insult to people’s intelligence to suggest otherwise.
Yea honestly. I’ve had this opinion for a while. Every year I see people complaining that jokic should have 7 MVPs in a row and that he’s the best player in the world, I understand it is a regular season award but the glaze he gets year after year after losing in the playoffs repeatedly since 2023 feels double sided to me compared to other players.
What an insult 🙄
Ayooooooo <3
Dude really might be the best 6th man in the NBA. Love to see both him and Kuminga showing out
Jokic stans when he averages a triple double against a below average team in the regular season:GOAT offensive player, better than prime lebron James and jordan offensively.
Jokic when he is a liability and cone on defense and plays below average in crucial playoff games: Guys cant we all just get along!!
No other so called best player in the world in several decades has had little accountability and criticism, he is the best thing since apple pie when they win and its his team mates fault when he loses. I watched lebron in 2018 take a team of scrubs far lesser than this team to the nba finals, the jokic I saw tonight does not deserve to be in the same breath as lebron James or curry. Stop the gaslighthting its time for accountability.
Please dont insult our intelligence ever again comparing this guy to a prime lebron James or steph curry. Tonight was an absolute disgrace by the so called best player in the league . Its time for accountability
Whenever he has like 30/15/15 in a win:
Better than MJ and Bron, the GOAT, should have 99 MVPs
Whenever games like this happen:
lol how many threads you gonna post this in man?
Half of the nuggets fan base is upset Murray was an allstar this season and going to be all nba. They love the excuse of jokic having bad teammates
Jokic when he gets shut down by Rudy Gobert: “fraud!!!”
Lebron when he gets shut down by JJ Barea: “guys can’t we just all get along!!!”
The cone is getting sent home again early in the playoffs. Forget prime lebron or curry he isnt even better than shai.
He choked game 7 last year and got shut down 6 foot alex caruso
Lebron has 10 Finals appearances and 4 rings 4 FMVP and 4 MVPs lol
Jokic has 1, 1, 1, and 3
Get serious.
lol you used the example of lebron where it’s universally accepted as his worse performance ever
You forget that Jokic got locked up by Caruso last year. That was his “Lebron vs JJ. Barea” moment.
The ironic part is that JJ Barea covered Bron for 30 second total in the whole 2011 finals. And Lebron never even got his pockets picked, just got called on one offensive foul and passed the ball during another possessions. Caruso guarded Jokic for Game 7 and parts of Games 5 lol
Caruso argument doesn’t work here since he’s a top 10 defender like Gobert.
In what world is caruso a top 10 defender
least he made up for it, lmfaoo jokic got locked by a dude half his size
Antman,batman,superman…. jaden McDaniels
“Heh that’ll be good for his social media”
I’m going to guess they won’t be #6 defense anymore lol.
Successful hate watch 😈
