    It didn’t look like the Twolves made any major adjustments. They just seemed to want it more

    If that's true, it meant nothing because the Nuggets didn't go to the line much.

    I doubt it. Im not a big enough twolves fan to shell out that kind of money. If it was the Rockets instead of the Mavs then yes.

    Also is I do have some connections so if a client happens to have an extra ticket…

    I thought the game was a wrap with the way the Wolves were looking in that 1st half

    the Wolves defense is a joy to watch…I also love Naz Reid’s versatility off the bench

    so many likable players on the team

    denver just missed wide open shot after wide open shot, they completely dominated the game, but it's one game and shooting luck matters, denver just had all the luck against them. Rudy's insanely lucky shooting, and foster giving them double the free throws didn't hurt either. Thems the breaks

    This is definitely a fun team. I was really impressed with KAT. He came to play and was carrying. The team when it looked like
    They might get blown out of the building.

    He's fine. Nuggets need to find a way to keep Pope and improve their bench. Good luck to them.

    Denver missed a lot but you also started seeing the wolves get a lot of steals and beating Them to the loose balls.

    yup, it's a cascade effect. Missing all those open easy shots forced them to play their starters without a rest, which makes them not have the energy to close the game.

    Sota bigs are up and down. The Dallas bigs can compete with them. They had no chance vs Joker.

    The Nuggets really miss Bruce Brown. He was the answer that countered the opposition's runs.

    The Nuggets' big issue is they stacked their starting lineup to perfectly fit Jokic but don't have a full team or anyone that can make plays other than Murray. They need to either spend picks to upgrade from MPJ or turn him into 2 good role players so they don't lose everything when they go to the bench.

    Christian Braun's tough guy facial expressions ain't winning any games.

    For the nuggets to get significantly better they need to find a way to give Jokic a break.

    I just knew whoever lost would have their fans complaining about the refs.

    I'm also not sure Jokic was the best player on the court. I thought KAT was more efficient and when you factor in defense, I would say it was even or worse. And, to that point, I think Jokic needs to be better defensively. The Nuggets don't have enough flexibility with their lineups because they have to fit more defensive minded players around him. That would make sense if it made them an elite defensive team but it only let's them hold serve in the playoffs.

    Nobody wanted Denver to repeat. Somewhere silver is relieved. Whoever wins out of this final 4 will be success for the league.
