    Well, the silver lining in this disastrous effort for Minnesota was the fact that they acknowledged they never came close to playing their best to the game, and that they didn't play up to their abilities.
    Saying that about themselves regarding Game 3, and playing their best in Game 4, are two different things.
    Minnesota HAS to know they can't go back to Denver at 2-2.
    They must win game 4, which will give them a Game 6 opportunity to close out the series, if they should come out flat again in Game 5.

    SAS says Wolves so the Nuggets bout to win. Man’s hops on any train he can see in front of him, never hops on them before the clout. Classic SAS clownshow.

    I predicted this series to go 6 games from the beginning. Hopefully we can win it in 5. The defending champs did what they’re supposed to do. We’ll be going back to Denver 3-1 after Sunday. GO WOLVES!!!

    It’s one thing to pick Minnesota to win. Genuinely predicting a sweep is pure foolishness and prisoner of the moment 🙄

    Minnesota looks like the are playing with 7 guys on defense when every other team is playing with 5.

    Agree with Wilbon. The one sided discussion around this series is not normal in sports. They played a whole season. The last two games are the whole story. Are the odds against them? Yes. But IF the Nuggets win tonight then can we act like the Nuggets (who just about EVERYONE said was about the best team in late March) are finished? We’ll see.
