    If Denver wins game 4, all of the Timberwolves' life and spirit will be immediately sucked away from their souls.
    Edit: Looks like the Nuggets just had their souls snatched away.

      TWolves is not winning another game. They been totally disrespectful to Jokic with the Edwards MVP chants. Denver going to blow them out every game. T Wolves doesn't have the peices to compete. Denver showed patience on how to break down that defense. Murray passes was elite. What I dnt understand is why did T Wolves go away with the press. This L going humble Edwards. He got people thinkkng he MJ foreal. He got a high ceiling but he aint there yet. He just look like Mike and dribble somewhat like him getting past defenders

    Jokic "he doesn't play defense" 3 blocks + 3 steals this game :) So many delusional commentators!
    Nugs are champions for a reason! More focus + some adjustments = fewer mistakes = win. That's the beauty of POFF basketball - adjustments, changes of tactics, momentums, and rhythms, individually and team-wise.
    What a statement game! BRAVO!

    I can't fault people that called for a Wolves sweep. Nuggets really returned to form in this game. Every game so far this post season, they let themselves go down by 20+ points and have to spend the game trying to catch back up. This series, they looked vulnerable in game 1, and utterly demoralized and defeated in game 2. Looked like it was gonna be a sweep. I'm happy to see them bounce back. Looking forward to an exciting rest of this series!

      ​@@tommywaitsyI personally wouldn't say so. After Game One I predicted Timberwolves in 7, but when I saw how the nuggets played in game 2, you can't fault people for saying it would be a sweep. Sure they're the reigning champs, but reigning champs don't get locked up by Naz Reid(Nikola Jokic) and reigning champs don't go 3-18 when they thrive under pressure (Jamal Murray). Not to mention he had an injury too. You can't tell me that it didn't look hopeless for the Nuggets after game 2, because it did. They're the reigning champions yet they got held to 80 points only and got blown out by 30-40 points. Sure, it's basketball, blowouts happen, but to the reigning champions? And in the playoffs? Idc what anyone says, but by that point I had wolves in 6. Obviously the Nuggets weren't gonna get swept, but you can't blame the people that thought that.

      Easy to win when the refs effectively nullified your opponent's ability to play defense. Early foul trouble resulted in tons of open looks for Denver. And that early foul trouble resulted from the refs being inconsistent and reffing like it's the regular season again, no longer allowing physical D like they usually do all playoffs so far.

      Believe bro, these boys are now awake. Watching them play Game 3 and I can tell something changed with them.
      They're actually hustling. Contesting every shots, Jokic actually playing defense and setting proper screens. They were patient on offense and actually taking proper care of the ball. Even Murray has been forcing shots less. There's actual ball movement and not just Jokic and Murray trying to play their own game.
      I believe they're back.

      They collapsed mentally in game 2, the way game was officiating was a big part of that, and they felt too much pressure on the home court after losing game 1. Resting their injuries for 4 days, and playing on the road really helped them find their game again.

      Of course they looked comfortable. The refs completely F'ed the Wolves by switching up how they ref mid-series, resulting in an insane number of fouls on the Wolves in the first half. They were too afraid to play any D the rest of the game for fear of fouling out, resulting in tons of open uncontested shots for the Nuggets.
      This was clearly on purpose to extend the series. You don't accidentally change the ref style that drastically mid-series without any warning.

      i was thinking...they had like 3-4 days to readjust their game. that helped a lot, at first they were shocked by how timberwolves are playing, and the matchups were kinda awkward.
      playing in transition and faster pace with extra passes instead of a pick and roll is gonna win against the double center line up. the defense were scrambling and breaking their ankles trying to catch up, it was simply amazing.

    Nice to see Murray on his game again, and you have to love that Jokic-to-Gordon lob. The Warriors are out of it, so whom do I cheer for???
    The Nuggets!!! They can even it up at two apiece, and then it's a two-game series.
