      @racimegacar you should be concerned with denver losing by 45 in a game 6 against a championship level team. Do you think this is a joke? Denver beat them last year without Naz and McDaniels, and on top of that, most of the players said mn was the hardest team they faced. MN is at full strength, and we all are witnessing the potential of their team. Minnesota is hungry and wants to beat them! They remember last year and want to avenge themselves of that series loss. This game 7 is a serious game with more on the line. This ain't game 3 thru 5 where they aren't forced to play like this Is their last game. They won't play relaxed! I'm sure of it!!

    The series has been controlled by whether the refs allow MN to play defense or not. Simple. They did let them Games 1 and 2, then didn't for 3 games, then did let them again for Game 6 (to bring it to 7).
    Tomorrow, MN won't be allowed to play defense so that the defending champs win. MN is too small market to be allowed to take out defending champs with a 3 time MVP

    Such a disgraceful effort by the Nuggets. Between starting point guard Jamal Murray and the three bench players that are allowed a few meaningful minutes in these playoffs (Christian Braun, Reggie Jackson, and Justin Holiday), the combined shooting percentage was 20% (5 for 35). That is just puh-THETIC!

  • @gametime2473
    @gametime2473 Před 27 dny

    I don't think the T-Wolves held the Nuggets to 70, the Nuggets held themselves to 70 by shooting like garbage the whole game. This has been the Nuggets problem all 12 games of these playoffs. Nuggets had plenty of open looks at the basket and missed pretty much all of them. T-Wolves had a smart gameplan though. They noticed that the Nuggets have no one playing well other than Jokic so they just clamped down on him and dared the rest of the team to beat them. Sadly the rest of the team can't score. The shooting numbers for the Nuggets in the playoffs this year are horrible other than Jokic. Even Jokic is shooting an embarrassing 27% from 3.
