if game 7 doesn't end with a buzzer beater, fire them NBA script writers 🤣
Game 7 will be a coin flip lol, both teams can win it's just a matter of who will have a better day.
are u saying it's all riged? Just asking cause I have that feeling for a long time...
If it was rigged they wouldn’t allow so many boring blowouts, rating tanks during blowouts. Only been like 3 close games the past 3 weeks, doesn’t make sense at all if it’s rigged
😂😂
@@jacobjewkes8359 good point lol. people raving on this series, it wasn't anything close to the best with 3 blowouts. 2006 Mavs Spurs series was one of the best I've seen and only 1 game was a blowout. Heat Spurs in 2012 was really good too
JMcD is a PROBLEM for Murray -- who is now health-compromised in a series where Denver quit in 3 games, opting to extend the series. Ironically, Jokic now needs to score and dominate Q1 like his buddy Shaq to wake up the Denver shooters
JMcD is not a problem for Jamal....Jamal had plenty of good shot attempts but just can't nail them. The Wolves didn't play any extraordinary D, the Nuggets beat themselves...
by 50 points, copium. You clearly need to check out Murray's post game, you denver fans are mad at him and lashing out at internet folks
Nah Murray a problem for himself
JASEN IS NOT!!!!!!! A PROBLEM JAMAL HAD SMOKED ATE JADEN ALIVE FOR THREE GAMES STRAIGHT YOU OBVIOUSLY MISSED THOSE GAMES SHOWING YOUR IGNORANCE JAMAL HAD BEEN INJURED LATE IN THE SEASON AND Denver's medical staff has done a fine job very good they're actually one of the best in the business so I'm pretty sure that your mom will be ready a lot of times they they exaggerate the injury when it's not as bad in a locker room they've talked about saying it's mild it's not as bad but they try to be careful so that they don't go too far on it but Jamal will be fine cuz when Jamal is doing well Jaden cannot stop him don't even kid yourself I hate people who push a false narrative like what you're doing no nobody can stop Jamal and at times they can kind of help contain him but they can't stop him so don't kid yourself
@delgadorebinds987 exactly Denver just a stinker of a game Denver has shown they can rip Minnesota apart when they're FULLY locked in and especially!!!! In 1 game do or die game 7 I fully expect that Denver will be ready to win big over Minnesota
Whichever team shows up mentally wins. Both have shown ability to stomp the other
"4 of 28." I could get off my couch having not touched a b-ball since 1990 and shoot that!!😂🏀
3 days rest is a huge advantage for Denver
Complacency / lack of focus is part of team character. If it happens in a game six, well, then there is no guarantee they can do it on demand.
It's all about how much physicality the ref's allow. Crew Chief for sunday is Scott Foster, so i'm expecting ticky-tack fouls to be called. If wolves primary defenders can stay out of early foul trouble it should be a competitive game. If they pickup a couple cheap fouls early it could turn into a easy nuggets win.
They beat this team 3 times ,I didn't expect denver to win 3 games in wolves home
This was my favorite round 2 series of all time because it gives off that rising superstar and defending 3 times Superstar vibes. Both teams are so damnb good it shows whoever gets by will win it all.
you havnt seen much playoffs basketball then. There have been so many great ones back and forth close second round series in last 20 years. like 2006 Mavs Spurs was one of the best. Mavs winning on the road in OT game 7, what a thriller it was.
Has there been a close game? seems like these teams don't come prepared every other night
The winner wins it all
I have a weird feeling that the Nuggets will get blown out again on Sunday. The Wolves have looked like the best team of the decade when they've been on. Not sure what adjustments Mike Malone can make at this point.
Umm it’s simple they won’t shoot 18% on wide open shots 😂😂😂 literally the reason they lost
@@Tumorcoach The Wolves didn’t shoot well either (not as badly as the Nuggets) and they still won by 45
@@bcurve why are you just lying they shot 55%….. that’s total wide open looks was like 62%. Was their best this series and had 10 more free throws made.😂
@@bcurve bruh they shot 55% total… and 62% on wiped open looks it was their best this series. What do you mean they didn’t shoot well
@@Tumorcoach They shot 46%?
I AINT NEVA SIGNIN UP FOR DRAFT KINGS
Who knows who will win this game. The games have been blowouts so it's hard to say who's been better.
both teams had blow outs and close wins at home and road. who knows
Honestly, you can’t even take home court advantage into consideration. Both teams got swept at home and exchanged blows in game 5 and 6. Honestly game seven might be the nail biter game.
It’s in Denver so they have the mile high advantage… but I’m going out on a limb and say the younger, deeper wolves make the Nuggs gas.
We in Denver this weekend. Game 7 at altitude. Jokic and them boys are likely pissed. coach Malone pulled them and sat them down and next game they gonna fully lock in. It’s all about the shooters. Jamal Murray gotta hit net. Need MPJ hitting middy and 3pt shots. AG gotta be a dawg. And the bench gotta be hyped.
How did that mile high advantage work out in the first two games? Yeah, that's what I thought.
Mile High advantage seems to favor a 22 year old freak athlete like Edwards
@@coreyczech yeah I got a feeling that even though the Nuggs are more acclimated to altitude, Sunday will be the young guns (Wolves) prevailing. Denver is favored, but I just have a hunch of will be Minnesota.
This has nothing to do with gas.
Best respect the Wolves. Dissing that team is like dissing Rorschach from Watchmen in the prison chow line scene. "I'm not locked in here with you....youre locked in here with me!" 🤨
They the ones dissing … if you watch the interviews we show respect
Respect this mediocre offense? Best respect MV3. He about to show you why.
Jamal Murray definitely not showing respect... He said "Who?" to a question about ANT guarding him
@@shawn_derrhe don’t talk like that why are u talking like that for him 😂
@shawn_derr I'll give all due respect to MV3... he's an all time great just came against a more complete team that could throw 3 capable bigs at him
I don't know what's going on with Murray, he has these nights where he seems like he is in his own head... I hope he figures it out, and shows the world why he's a champion
tough defense and his shot isn't falling the same
Hard screen early in the game left his right arm hurting the rest of the game.
@@SinkrSwim my guy the whole playoffs he's been cheeks
Murray has been the weak link all along. Denver has worked to get him going, but he's not up to the task.
I knew he was going to have a rough night when he missed those opening floaters (which should be the shot that’s there if they double Jokic and he can beat his man off the rotation)
Jokic will have a Game 7 MVP Performance. In Game 7s Joker has averaged a 24 16 7 with a 3-1 record. I trust and Believe in Denver winning Game 7
nope
Kat and Gobert quick 3 fouls each first quarter Game over Denver wins
Wolves would still win if naz had a big game, wolves have beaten nuggets at Denver 3 of the last 4 they were fully healthy I think it’s truly a toss up based on what we’ve seen this series
Naz Reid blocked Jokic twice in the 4th quarter... ya forgot about him
Is it possible that the WC has 5 teams better than Boston? (Denver, OKC, Mavs, Wolves, & Lakers)
Why are the lakers included? They are not a good team
@@PGooniee it's sarcasm
@@cmac392 well the other 4 are better
@@cowboyschad5x778 It's as if the Celtic's didn't have the best record in the NBA against the WC teams for the season.
Boston would destroy all but Denver and that would be a 7game series.
Rudy Gobert needs to finish his story
I expect a close game this time.
Reason being -- I think sometimes you're just going to have severe off-shooting nights.
No way MPJ/Jamal are shooting in the 20 percent range come the next game.
That being said, I expect the Twolves to be on their same defensive shit because it's been working.
So probably the score will come back down into competitive territory and it'll be a battle.
As just a fan of basketball (and not of one of these teams) -- I'm happy we're going seven games!
MPJ goes through several game long shooting spells... It happened to him in NBA Finals last year...
Jamaal Murray is going against the best defense he's ever seen and doesn't respect it... Wolves have been forcing players to lower percentages all year and can absolutely do it again GM 7
Also, Naz Reid and KAT went 0/8 from 3 last game and they still won by 45... Reid and KAT absolutely could go off more than MPJ/Murray
@@coreyczech It wasn't an exceptionally high scoring game, I mean it's not like Timberwolves scored a million points, it's just that Nuggets shot for sh!t.
Nah it was his elbow - Probably Jamal Murray
Denver got a little more chance to win for their better excutive. Both teams know each other so well, and G7 is all about getting those points that the defense gives up. But hope Ant can prove me wrong and I can see him killing everything in front of him.
Denver on paper should be favored.
But NBA wants Ant in the Finals. So there is that
@@oneyedthingwhy do you think that?
@@petropeso7911
You should ask the NBA
Def rebounds and TO are crucial for Denver
National Media said Minn is gonna win the chip...Nuggets in 7 for certain!
not true... a lot more have picked the Nuggets
Huh? Most are picking the Nuggets
Just toss a coin. The question is will a fairy sprinkle them with maguc dust or not? The only actual move they could make is to get Murray back far into the background, let him take 2 shots and if he misses just dont pass to him anymore. He's not why they lost last night but it's just the only actual step to take other than having some animal sacrifice ceremony. After last night you can't rely on experience, past championships, stats, etc to predict whether the Nuggets will show up.
I wouldn't even start him honestly. I would build the strategy without him and send him in for the last few minutes every quarter to see if he turns on. If he does, keep him in. He is so unreliable.
@@AbcDino843 well thank god you don’t coach cause that’s the most smooth brain idea I’ve heard.
@@Tumorcoach why? Is he an amazing player? Consistent? Dependable?
@@AbcDino843 they don’t have a back up point guard and he’s literally a main part of the two main game. Even if he ain’t shooting best he is still their best slasher.
@@AbcDino843 dude asked why like why do folks like you who don’t know ball comment just such ridiculous takes like it’s intellectual strong
All this talks are nice BUT when you win a championship and the first thing the owners do is to sell a bunch of excellent bench players then you are looking for trouble or you are just not wanting to win the next title or you're just plane stupid....now we are basically hoping for a miracle Jokic scoring and assisting 70 points once again....
Joker is gonna have another record game Sunday he won’t let the nuggets lose , seeing him watching the wolves standing on the sidelines said it all
that is what im afraid of
pls bb
Very very good chance of that happening. It’s where I’d put my money.
I agree that Jokic will have an epic game... I just don't think Murray/Porter/ Nuggets bench are gonna have enough impact...
Wolves were overconfident and not locked in after game 2... They'll be locked in Game 7. No one can stop them when they lock in.
@@coreyczechI agree that they’ll be locked in - but the whistle is going to be completely different in game 7 I think.
I would absolutely bench Murray for game 7 and build a game without him. Send him in a few minutes here and there and see if he's hot or not, but he is too unreliable and inconsistent to build a foundation with him in it.
IF Jamal Murray is hurt min can win but if he can’t knock down those shots consistently enough to help the MVP get right then it’ll get interesting & weird
These are my picks for 10 leg parlay 😂
Rudy Gobert Over+ 23 Points +rebounds +assists
Jamal Murray under 19.5 points
Christian Braun over 4.5 points
MPJ under 13.5
Jokic under 12.5 rebounds
Total points over 192.5
Nuggets ML
Anthony Edwards’s over 27.5
Aaron Gordon over 14.5
LETS GO EDWARDS 😈
Over 197.5
I’m a Nuggets fan so I’m hoping that Jokic picks up his game. The rest of the Nuggets, too.
Simple if Mike and Mal show up we will win if not we might still but not likely
The series probably is over had Murray been suspended for Game 3 as he should have! But Go Wolves!
Such a soft take.
Gonna be interesting to see how the refs call the game because Minnesota wants Kat on joker and so he has to stay out of foul trouble! Kat also the last 2 games been driving and passing the ball to Rudy for dunks and layups! Murray has a ton of ego if Minnesota gets a early lead he will shoot over and over and be denvers demise.
Rip your prediction
HIlarious. It's like listening to grand-nephews talking about physics. Not even a clue. The Golden State Warriors are the only repeat NBA champions in the last 10 years, winning in 2017 and 2018. The Los Angeles Lakers have won the NBA championship three times in a row, from 2000-2002, and the Chicago Bulls have won three times in a row, from 1991-1993. What does this mean? Statistically, they will loose. Nuggets are a good team, but they are not great enough to win back-to-backs.
Like there is a standard when you are good enough to win back to backs. Oh, you are aware we are not talking about winning a chip but a 2nd round series?
Jontay Porter's brother is one of the best shooters in history? Chill
wolves will be in foul trouble! sensitive refs will destroy the game. hope let them play it out who gets better offensively wins.. I trust denver to have more chances at home and more consistent role help than wolves. but i want wolves to win for ant.
Im super worried the nuggets won't show up again.
Same
I have no fing clue whos winning but i would bet its going to be a boat race.
Denver will win 7th game by 6 points
Nuggets 102 Timberwolves 96
Final
you almost got the Wolves score right
@coreyczech nuggets deserved to lose..Joker missed 8 3 point shots in a row...
This is Anthony Edwards coming out party. Wolves will be hungrier in game 7 and there's nothing the Nuggets can do about it.
Also after any time denver loses big in a bad blowout denver DENVER ALWAYS COMES OUT ANGRY !!! the next game to make up for the previous bad loss "" so i fully expect Denver to come out strong and punish Minnesota especially!! In a do or die !! When denvers backz are against the wall the Nuggets play out of their minds and will win BIGTIME !!! the role players for Minnesota dont play as well on the road
That's a copout saying that Denver was unfocused, NNNNaaaaaahhhhhhh! They got beat the heck up and tossed around. That's what happened, and the wolves coach played all of the right players at the right time and didn't throw equipment on the floor to purposefully injure a player or ref. Spoiled children, get put on punishment and Denver can't hide behind the Lakers bad coaching for their losses now.
55/45 for Denver. Basically, everything is open.
As a wolves fan that’s how I feel
hey Jason, i know it's way too early, but where would you project Jokic being in the top 10 overall when he retires? He's a monster! lol
If he retired today he is for sure not in the top 10
@@imperialbengal4068the question is obviously not referring to today.
@@AccordingSign32 it’s a strange question because nobody knows what he will do in the future it’s impossible to answer
@@imperialbengal4068 just a projection. i honestly have never seen a player like him before. esp since he's 7 foot lol.
@@co6672 I think he would need at least 3 finals mvps to be in the convo

He’s goin 3-10
He’s going 3-10
0% chance that Denver players/fans are confident after being absolutely dismantled in Minnesota. If Jaden McDaniels plays even 75% off what he did in game 6, Denver has No chance of even keeping it close minus an injury. 🤷♂️
Smooth brain comment
@@Tumorcoach Youre right the nuggets fans are pretty stupid. They might think that losing by 45 is just a fluke.
@@TheWongagy it’s “you’re “ sad when someone calls anyone stupid but can’t spell at a first grade level
@@Tumorcoach It’s spelled correctly. I didn’t use the correct punctuation, and neither did you. You’re welcome for the lesson “Coach”.
@@TheWongagy not spelled correctly smooth brain it should be you are so you’re….. thanks for proving me right about smooth brain my guy doesn’t even know 1st grade spelling. I clearly did use correct pronunciation 😂
You can’t beat Nikola Jokic on a Game 7
Wolves should beat nuggets 4-1
It’s not focus, nuggets got ass wooped stop it
How ridiculous does it seem to pick Denver to win to a team they lost to by 45 points??? Wolves didn't shoot much better than Nugs at 3s. Wolves were up by 50 and they both put in benches w 8 minutes to go in 4th. Denver only hope is the refs
Then how to do explain a game 7 taking place?
If you limit joker to 25 and less assist you beat nuggets easy, game 6 is proof
Let’s go wolves. Can’t stand Jamal
Let's go Nuggs.....can't stand Goober
@@Stretch79 jamala Harris has gone home🙏🏾
Wolves put Kat on joker and play lot man to man coverage how they did game 1-2

Murray elbow is injured; wolves by less than 10
Denver wins by 11
Nuggets were the best team last season. This season not so much, and next season they will be an afterthought.
Series is 3-3, they are still good when they can beat Wolves 3 times, Wolves might be future champions.
Nuggets have a better record this season than last, considering the talent in the western conference. Factor in the pressure from repeating a chip. Not an easy feat. Expect challenges, with MIN being by far Denver’s biggest challenge. I believe the Nuggets will close out the series on Sunday. They’ll again get locked in, focused, and get back to playing Nuggets basketball. Coach Malone will have these guys ready.
Nuggets just need one more good player jamal is rly bad now and Bruce Brown Jr. was beast last season in denver
@@vlada91bulbulderwould be nice to get BB back fr.
Its hilarious that no one comments on the elephant in the room which is Jokic dreadful defense.
because its not dreadful. go look at his defensive stats/rating. its just a narrative that the embid lovers have been pushing in the media the last few years and obviously you took it up
Jokic's defense has nothing with Nuggets scoring 70. It wasn't an exceptional night for Timberwolves either, scoring wise.
It doesn’t mean anything when he is plus 11 on the court…. Like tf
When Dlo had 0 points ya blamed AD and Bron and said Jokic was cooking AD. smh fan boys with a channel thats all.
MPJ is one of the greatest pure jump shooters in NBA history? Come on now man, be better.
He’s folding against wolves defense
Dude constantly picks against the wolves when they win lolol
PLEASE PICK DALLAS 😂
Suspiciously perfect for the NBA narrative. Foreign versus American, athletic versus IQ, ISO versus Team, offense versus defense, black versus white(espn) young versus old, 2 all stars& rising super star versus MV3 & no all stars .not like it doesn’t benefit the NBA & advertising partners. As beneficial as Larry vs Magic. hhmmm
Coin flip
Worse analysis I have hear... It is all about ball moving speed and rotation. That affects all shootings and performance
MURRAY SUCKS. He is shooting .392 in the playoffs. Its shocking they are winning with him he is a liability.... He is either injured or just sucks...last game-
Nuggets Bench...4-27... Jamal Murray...4-18. Imagine a starter and the bench go for 8-45. Murray is not an efficient scorer. He is a liability.. Why bother coming to the game? That is is insanely bad 17.7 percent shooting. The Nuggets should get a real shooter to compliment Jokic.
Recency bias is wild.
@@tannerweinheimer7839 .392 in the entire playoffs this year, non recent part - He is always hurt
@@tannerweinheimer7839 It's not recency bias, Jamal is playing terrible post season. Denver lost 2 years of Jokic's prime bc Murray's injury. I know it's not his fault getting injured but he's simply injury prone and even when he's healthy still inconsistent af. Beside last year post season, he's been below average max player
Teams adopt the personality of their stars. And Jokic has an apathy problem, which for him isn't really much of a problem because he is so consistent regardless. But that bleeds over to everyone else, and it has been a problem for a lot for the season.
Wait till game 7 bruh
Couple of tough screens and timely screams from the big fella, and they will be good to go.
Jokic won a RING without ever playing with All Star teammate, has the biggest on/off diferential since KG and Minesota..and he won with limited team like that, let that sink in...
No, he is not apathic, he is just very concentrated and tired after game. I feel like the game was fixed, they had to lose and didn't care how much. To me it's impossible for all of them to go limp at the same time.
Oh brother. Talk to me after he’s holding his second trophy.
I think denver might win thisngame by 25
Hahaah refs will do everyrhing for nuggeta to lose😂😂😂 nba is a joke
No way Denver is losing 3 at home in a single series
Will Denver or Minnesota advance. Fixed the title for you.

Jason's pretty clearly not a fan of the Timberwolves. The Nuggets deserve to lose this series though. They have some serious loser energy. There's way too much quit in that team.
