rudy gobert fadeaway over Jokers he never made a fadeaway 😂😂😂
He sure picked the right time. I'm a Laker fan,but I always liked Gobert. he's limited offensively,but always plays hard.Him and KAT, the whole team really just got sick of getting their butts kicked every year. They were not gonna lose. It was an amazing performance. They were fresher than Denver in the 2nd half with them at home.
Thats karna for Jokic making all these tough fadaways on AD. @vernpascal1531
big time shot
Gobert turned the sliders all the way up for that position.
even more rare than jokic dunk xD
I’m very glad Minnesota won the series but let’s all be honest it never should’ve gone seven because the NBA should’ve suspended Murray for game three and Minnesota would’ve put Denver in an 0-3 hole something that no team in league history has ever climbed out of to win a series
Facts
Didnt NBA not suspend Edwards when he threw a chair?
@@danielmedjedovic7068 edwards threw a chair onto the court during a live play having a player slip on it?
Refs wanted Denver the whole series
It’s sweeter this way. Minnesota beat Denver fair and square, even with the refs trying to hand the game to Denver in the 4th Q of Game 7.
Kat's reaction to saying to the reporter about losing last year, the last two years, the last 20 years was beyond hilarious! Probably one of the funniest and true answers I have ever heard.
Perk is soooo right about Murray and Malone. No wonder Murray was such a punk. He learned from his coach. They need to learn from Jokic how to be classy.
we been losing for 20 yeeeeeeerrrrrrrsssss😭
And Mcdanilels trying showboat dunk when game was over...they are plenty of punks all around.
He earned the right to showboat they won after being down 20 don't like it tell them play better@@Tokogeta
@@Tokogetathis isn’t baseball. Go watch that if you want good little boys that won’t make you feel small
@@Tokogetahahaha that’s what happens, losers get dunked on. Hold your 20pt lead then, loser
Shaq "is Anthony Edwards close to MJ?"
Chuck "they both black"
Anthony Edwards aesthetics is a mixture of Joe Johnson and Tracy Mcgrady ..In my opinion ...not Michael Jordan
@@silence3916 He's far better than both of those guys though.
@@HTHAMMACK1 I hear you ...That's your opinion....I respect that...I'm just saying "style of play... Anthony's ceiling is still very high ..He's 22 years old
@@HTHAMMACK1I'll give you Joe but he gotta do it longer to pass T-Mac
Also Chuck: "Anthony Edwards Reminds Me of Michael Jordan & Kobe Bryant." I notice you left that one out.
When your Great Hope Jokic gets compared to the greats it's no problem.
But when fans mention similarities of Ant and Jordan it's now a problem.
Perk sitting there with that look. 😅
Go Wolves! 🐺
Game 7 between TWolves & Nuggets was a microcosm of the entire series. It started in an atypical fashion w/ the TWoles winning the 1st two games in Denver. Then the Nuggets returned the favor & won in Minn. Last night was a summation of all the twists, turns, & contradictions this series encapsulated 😊🎉❤
"been losing for 20 years" caught me off guard to be honest 😂😂😂
He’s wasn’t lying though. It’s their time to shine haha.
@@montraybrown9008 they need to be consistent and work on their shooting and some decisions making I was furious on the way they lost 3 in a row
Mike Malone and Jamal Murray blamed tiredness and difficulty of repeating as the reason they lost. That may be true but that just diminishes the strength and fortitude of your team to repeat (a la Pistons, Bulls, Rockets, Lakers, Heat, Warriors, etc.,) -- instead of just saying we lost to the better team tonight. 😮😮
They did?
@@2cupojoe136not Murray just Malone
@@2cupojoe136 Watch their post-game. They pretty much admitted that they ran out of steam this year WHICH diminishes the reputation of your team's mental/physical fortitude when compared to other great teams who repeated in the past -- especially the Bulls three-peating twice. Malone even used the Spurs dynasty run as an excuse for losing this series saying that the Spurs never repeated but they were still a dynasty. Just say you lost to the better team and preserve some dignity for your players.
Thanks to this series, the Nuggets went from a likeable fan favorite to the villains. From them being front runners when talking to the media to Murray's antics and Malone's attitude, they have turned a lot of people off on them.
the great teams that won 2 and 3 championships in a row don’t make that lame excuse. they got taken apart and that it. Losing by 45! snd then 3 losses at home?? take a seat your one and done
i thought they weren’t gonna come back once the Nuggets established double digit lead but a great comeback 👏🏾
There is countless amounts of Minnesotans who are gonna get Naz Reid tattoos if they win the chip.
I may not be from Minnesota but damnit I'm getting one!
@@sin978 I salute you, welcome to the club.
@@sominnesotanI already got one!
If Anthony Edwards gets a ring & finals mvp at the age 22 , you are looking at the next next all time great for this upcoming generation
He is nowhere near an all-time great. This entire era is weak. Stop the nonsense. He is overrated. 6 for 24 in a close out is a choke job.
so check your mamba stats😂😂😂@@marcelmarshall4240
This era is arguably the most skilled in history. And Wolves likely lose this game 7 without Ant.
@@DrunKaoits scripted, rigged. This era is weakest
@AlenTudja delusional, then why aren't the defending champs can't repeat?it's just clear that the league now so balance that any of those good teams has a chance of getting a championships,unlike mj era,one sided teams,coz mj only has the superteams,in pippen and rodman,and longly😂
"in history" is what's wrong with sports media
I mean it might be wrong because we dont have video record of every playoff game since the NBA, ABA, and that one other basketball league in the US that merged with the NBA inaugural post season respectively.
If it’s a fact then what’s wrong with it?
😂 so u the type to hide from the truth and live off lies
Espn just making topics out of rocks 🪨
@@OGGOAT23and you are still watching
KAT’s Chris Tucker impression was amazing.
I came home to watch the replay having a fair idea wolves won, but was still on the edge of my seat wondering how the heck are wolves gonna come back 😂
We have jumped the hardest hurdle! Bring it home boys, it’s our time❤🔥
What would you call the Mavs hurdle then? 🙄
Amazing show, thanks.
Stole the script is OD crazy
When the Lakers won they had 3 big men as well. A.D, Dwight and Javale
2009 and 2010 Lakers too with Bynum, Gasol, and Odom. That’s actually who this Wolves team reminds me the most of with Ant being the dynamic guard that Kobe was and Mike Conley is their Derek Fisher.
@@Serching4JerryGarciayooooo Derick Fisher is a name I haven’t heard in a minute
Derek Fisher is a trash human being. Disrespectful to mention that name along with Conley in the same sentence 😂
The reporter is your daddy Mike lmao
His name is Mikey Malone, not Michael Malone 😂😂😂
@@BabylonGateLA ohhhhk
Rudy's "irrational confidence" 😂
As a Minnesota sports fan, I’m still waiting for the collapse. Winning just isn’t what we do.
Not a Wolves fan here; please enjoy the ride!
Ya'll are playing with house money. Just relax and enjoy the ride like the rest of us.
@@paragon7atl good advice. Thanks.
I can listen to Perkins all day, dude is a goat.😂
Dude's a clown with lazy takes
He's a racist clown, is what he is. So he got one prediction right, big deal. How many did he get wrong last year, and this year alone? Especially pertaining to the Knicks, and the 3x MVP and champion, Nikola Jokic.
So is most sports opinions on social media. Rather hear it from someone with a voice who played though, not kids who started watching 3 years ago 😂
@@nonchalantcommenting2273 exactly! They're all clowns in a way, but at least Perk keeps it stupidly interesting.😂
I'm happy to see the Timberwolves win ant man is a great team leader
RJ really out here trying to push this narrative that nuggets played bad cuz they faced the lakers first, how about they exhorted more energy than they needed to to beat an 8th seed!
THAT WAS THE MOST STUPID THING RJ SAID. The nuggets won 2 games against the lakers just by sheer luck on those 2 buzzer beaters.They were gassed playing against the lakers
7th seed
@@BlaqStar4524both of those buzzer beaters came with the score tied…
Very happy for AE & Kat especially
Congratulations wolves!! Amazing win. 👏👏👏👏
One of the best 7 game series of all time, maybe the best 7 game series in Round 2. The rollercoaster. I know both fan base totally enjoy the ride no matter what the end result was. The emotion after every game is crazy.
😂😂😂😂 these guys has it all. I've never seen anything this this
6 for 24 had different plans. LOL
Perk was actually very sensible today. Kinda crazg
FOH needing a Game 7 disqualifies every team from "greatest run in history". Perk is ridiculously hyperbolic
@@heirrose1606 why is beating a tough opponent that you weren’t supposed to beat, in 7 games disqualifying you from having the greatest playoff run? And that’s not even really what I was talking about
@@trentonp.8632 Because the best runs by teams have 1 loss the whole playoffs, leaves no doubt, others only have had 2. 3 in a series for a coin-flip Game 7, which can be argued was one bad game by the loser, with the league's best defense, is great NOT greatest. Words exist to show the difference. YOU can have Lowered Standards but that says more about you than Facts. Greatest leaves no doubt, no Compromise. It's a Sam Jackson Pulp Fiction situation: "English muthafkker, do you speak it?!", and Perk fails his English vocab test almost every time.
@@heirrose1606 maybe we have different views on that then. I think greatest can mean a number of things, not just dominating every other team. If you’re that much better than every other team, is the run even great? Do you think the 2017 warriors playoff run was great? No one really talks about that as an all time great playoff run. I think a “great run” can also mean overcoming seemingly insurmountable obstacles and proving all the doubters wrong. Ant has already taken down an all time great in KD and the reigning MVP in Jokic, now he’s battling with Luka and Tatum for face of the league, what makes this run not great?
"One of" is better than "the." I don't think anything beats Hakeem or Dirk's run. Dirk beat the defending champion Lakers who won BACK TO BACK (Not just 1 like the Nuggets) but BACK TO BACK and went to THREE STRAIGHT FINALS (Including 2008), then beat the BIG 3 in OKC THUNDER, then beat the Juggernaut in the first year Big 3 of the Miami Heat. And Dirk had no other all stars. Come on man lol
Something that Conely and Gobert and Walker did that they couldn't do in Utah. Win a series against Denver and go to the Conference finals just shows Utah's cursed.
Much love, God bless yall
Did Malika Andrew’s just make a reference to microscope after her cohost said she was going to explain something in micro… what a fool
What did Antman said after game 6 he said get ready for game 7 is gonna be Epic!!! 🏀💯🎯
Will never be greater than Dirk's playoff run. That will probably remain the greatest playoff run of all time 😂
Man watched 1 CZcams vid now that’s his opinion 😂
Idk man they’re pretty much on the same path. Only argument might be the fact that there’s no lebron in these finals
Exactly. They beat the spurs with the hall of famers or was it the OKC thunder with the big 3, then the Lakers dynasty and swept them, then beat the big 3 in Miami who were in their prime. Total disrespect to Dirk and Co
They basically beat at least 10 hall of famers in that post season
@@AntonioGarcia-wn7ut That playoff run didn't happen during times of Wilt's 100 point game 😂 We actually saw Dirk's playoff run in real time 💀
Perk is really a KD hater😂. He has to mention Phenix got swiped before he can comment the game😅
To Minnesota fans, DO NOT OVERLOOK DALLAS. Just because you took out the defending champions doesn’t mean automatic berth to the Finals. Luka and Kyrie are still very dangerous. Perhaps better than Ant + KAT. Luka and Kyrie are very dynamic scorers.
If Minnesota loses to Dallas, I lose my bets. Oh, well. I kinda expect it knowing my bad luck.
Derby parlay
Mystic Dan wins Derby ✅
Celtics wins East
TWolves wins West
Preakness parlay
Seize the Grey wins Preakness ✅
Celtics wins East
TWolves wins West
I will likely bet a Belmont winner parlay with the NBA Finals winner. Turn that into another $100 winner to collect $300.
Celtics and TWolves still needs to take care of business in these conference finals. They’re not in the clear just yet. If Dallas upsets Minnesota, then I got Celtics over Mavs in 6. Celtics will avenge what Kyrie did to them by stepping on Lucky after Kyrie ditched Boston for Brooklyn.
Luka vs. Ant is about as close to having LeBron vs. MJ for a playoff series. We already know Nick Wrong will pick Dallas. He wants his Slovenian LeBron to beat Jordan. And this is years after clowning on mini Kobe named Kyrie. Kobe is who Kyrie idolized when he grew up.
Kyrie crossing his GOAT/“MJ” for 90s babies…
czcams.com/video/a9MfQKnvEkk/video.htmlsi=pVfaAjlVsc3bQoLH
In the end, I expect MICHAEL JORDAN to prevail over 🇸🇮 LeBron James and mini Kobe Bryant in a playoff series. I will never bet against Michael Jordan. He will always be THE G.O.A.T. His long lost son, Ant, is next in line.

Pat4Clippers change your username to Eddie Mush 👴🏻 then copy and paste this 3 more times 🤣
Dallas imo should be an easier matchup for the wolves but i am expecting 5-6 game series
Pat4Clippers you really are Eddie Mush 👴🏻
A lotta y’all clowned Perk for his Wolves prediction. Where y’all at? 👀
Right here, Perk is still a clown, his takes are horrible which is surprising since he played the game. I don't go by who he picks but rather the reasons why and the facts and analysis behind that and he's always had fairweather and lazy takes.
That was the most nutty series ever and a beyond nutty game 7!! Let's go Wolves
Interesting choice of words.
Was gonna say same thing, thx for speaking out
Perk got this one right. Ant is a problem even when he shoots 6/24.
😂😂 he isn't.nigga is 7-15 point player
"Be a gentleman in success, and a man in failure." RJ 🎯
Go Timberwolves🥶🥶🥶
2004 Detriot Pistons all over again.
This defense is way better Ant, McDaniels and Rudy are all All NBA level defenders and Ant is leading the NBA playoffs in scoring rn.
PERK MUST BE ON THAT LEAN & PERC'S!HE BIG TRIPPIN!
Denver got outcoached. That's what the Nuggets coach should be upset about.
He is.
He sure did. Coach Finch realized the Nuggets were doubling Edwards and leaving players and open lanes wide open. He made adjustments and took advantage of that.
Wolves all the way baby!
That's right
lets go MN!
All season.... Defending Champs vs Seed 2....
Barely play half a dozen times.... Wolves been some heat in the Snow
Yh so far the greatest run to winning a championship was Dwayne Wade in 2006 against Dallas Mavericks
Perk is on his game, he's correct! If Minnesota wins the championship they will have beaten all the best teams in the NBA to do so🤔
Denver's game to lose they Dropped the ball 🏀
❤❤😊😊 oh children of the sport ... i called Bird Pacers vs McHale Wolves in the beginning of the season .... Ainge and Uncle Sky High Arlines just make it even more interesting... Haliburton Garland Edwards and Tatum are all evenly matched as the New NBA
I've said since the playoffs start 😊the wolves will be NBA champion in 2024 😂😂😊😊
TAKE ME THERE 5 LFG🤞🏾
JOCIC IS ABSOLUTE CLASS AND DECORUM! HE GAVE FLOWERS TO THE WOLVES!!!
Exactly richard thank you when they beat lakers last year he said "put it in a pipe and smoke it"
Wait... the Wolves also steam-rolled PHX, so how did that prepare them for close games? I get needing intensity and a challenge, but I would like to think having to come from behind like Denver did against the Lakers prepared them more than the Wolves vs. PHX. Maybe I'm wrong...
Didn't Perk say he was like the King Of New York or something not too long ago? Does he think no one keeps receipts? His predictions change all the time!
10:51 so condescending😂😂😂😂 how he worded that
Blah Blah Denver lost control! What about maybe...just maybe the Twovles are just that good!!??
Yeah ... take it from Perk! After all, he said the Knicks clinched after winning Game 5 against the Pacers. So he obviously has his thumb on the pulse of the NBA.
“You’re gonna wanna hear Michael Malone”
“No I don’t…” 😂
Chiney blows Malika out the water when it comes to looks and basketball knowledge!
inremember early on in the season Perk brought out the possibility 8f denver n9t repeating situng there hasn't been repeat in 5 years
The victory lap Perk been taking, you would think this is his first prediction he got right!
Ant is a very likable guy. Probably the most since Steph. What an exciting career to come.
Great comeback for the Wolves.
Am I tripping or did the warriors not go back to back 2017-2018 why they acting like it ain’t been no back to back champ
lol Jeff is PERFECT for this show..
I love his commentary so much. His analysis, his humor. He was made for this. ESPN needs more people like him.
So quick to keep writing off the Mavs
Dayummm 😭
I didn't know Jouner Lucas played for the Twolves 😂😂
Perk...where was big body brunson?
Luka, Antman, or Tatum will get their 1st Title this year.... That's wild.
Or Haliburton
@@jehushaphateh nah😂
Malone just shows his true character nasty !!
Can’t agree that it’s the greatest run. The Lakers went 16-1 one year in the playoffs back in the 2000s.
In big market LA. That’s easy mode. Not the same as winning in a cold small market.
Sports TV is such a clown show these days.
Perkins should just write a whole book on future team champs in NFL,NBA,NHL lol
If the Wovles Beat Ky & Luka They gone Win it all That’s crazy I stay in Minnesota and ion even like the team I just Like Ant From Georgetown 💪🏾
LANK- Let A Naysayer Know

Congratulations to the T’Wolves 🎉
If the wolves win the title I cant wait until next year to hear the excuses on why they didnt repeat.
"we've been losing for 20 years!"... lol
At least joker gets to ride his horse ahead of schedule
Lets Not Forget, Jaden McDaniels And Naz Reid Didnt Play Last Year. And Minnesota Still Gave them A Run for there Money
If my Celtics weren’t in it, I’d be rooting for the Wolves to win it all.
Big Perk called it. Wolves in 7.
🐺
KAT so sassy 💅💅
Kendrick’s prediction is insane
He's actually right. I'm a Celtics fan and I don't see it for them.
As long as perk speaks.. I ant man hearing it
You wanna hear Michaels Malone.
No I don't! LOL
Dwade has the best run
Perk is unbelievable, man! Antman would have one of the best runs ever! let's not get ahead of ourselves 😐
I guess Draymond was wrong about Rudy.
Kawhi run is still no.1 and lebron Cleveland teams
Toronto? KD and Klay out with injuries.
Refs had fan duel In one ear and prize picks in the other this whole series and wolves still
Won 😭 😭 I’m impressed
let’s not forget dirk mavs championship run
