GAME 7 IS GOING TO BE A MOVIE 🍿🗣️
But I just feel like Nuggets will win game 7 I just don’t see them losing back to back games again to wolves 🐺. Also just because of their championship DNA experience and coaching will come handy more than ever but then again anything can happen in a game 7
@@pg13pacernation30 championship DNA? I think they win,but you're acting like they've won multiple championships.
@pg13pacernation30 after seeing what jokic is capable of its Insane to bet against him. And I'm a wolves fan. But my god. The man is a 7'1 pg who can shoot from anywhere and pass from anywhere on top of that he has the most insane floater spin move up and under package ... he doesn't even look and hits floaters. But the wolves can ride momentum and they are playing like a complete team who knows if they knock this team out they stand a huge chance to win a chip. For guys like Mike Conley Robert Kat this would be huge. And all this entertainment for free... great time to be a basketball fan
@saintsgang8629 I agree but I hate to say it they are the best team in basketball unless the Celtics reach another level we haven't seen. And I'm a wolves fan but I never though AG would have great games like this or jokic would literally turn this into Harlem globetrotters they all know when and where to cut. They are a different version of a warriors or spurs team. But I couldn't believe how easily they won those 3 games.... that said I see now how hungry the wolves are. Conely was shooting like a sniper out there with aimbot. And McDaniels said let me grab the torch for a sec so all in all it could be anyone's game.
This has gotta be the best series of the playoffs
Knicks Sixers was far far better imo
It’s because we’re looking at an actual championship match let’s be honest this looks like a either of this teams can win the chip this year
@@Josephlokzzright. It’s just high quality basketball. Two very well built, well coached, teams are playing with multiple all stars, clutch players, good defenders, mvp x3, and one of them is the defending champs… can’t ask for a better series
Sorry a 45 point win isn't a good series, there's been zero real close games in this series, closest margin of victory has been seven points, whoever wins games in this series, are winning them comfortably
@@Pswayze23sixers are not in the playoffs,stay off the weed brah
'keep your foot on the gas" reminds me of when kobe said "no mercy"
He shouldve said"Jobs not finished"When he was up 2-0😂
Kobe only ever won with super teams. He was a nobody when he had to do it himself.
@@Zenigundamlmao and tell
Me what super star won the championship with out others stars I’ll wait
@@Zenigundamsuper teams?? You were born in 2002 weren’t you?
Giannis, Dirk, kawhi with the raptors
I respect how much Ant values Jaden
I respect how much he values Jaden McDaniels
Gotta have great role players
That’s his kd
Murray may have stoked the flames with “who?”. Last thing the nuggets need is for Ant to feel like he has to prove something.
Sounded like he was confirming if the reporter was talking about him or Ant, not saying he didn’t know Ant 😐 6:44
He felt some type of way about that question.
Reaching like you pat bev lol, Jamal couldn’t hear the reporter 😂 it ain’t that deep lol
@@2011Capewho cares 😂I hope Ant has a “and that’s when I took it personally.”
I think ant fueled the fire in the nuggets more when he went in their locker room bragging
Holding them to 70 points is the craziest thing I’ve seen
It’s like when the Suns sucked Game 7 vs Mavs. They just couldn’t hit shots. Nuggets are lucky it happened game 6 and not 7. It does happen but not often in a crucial playoff game.
regardless on whatever happens sunday. this has been an incredible season for the wolves. if you told me at the beginning of the season they’d being on top of the west for most of the season, win 6 playoff games in a row, beat the defending champs in their own arena twice in the semis, and be in a toss up game 7 to go to the conference finals… i’d have told you to put the pipe down. regardless of what happens next, this team has made history
FatFaktz
It's not a toss-up. Denver is going to win Game 7.
@@Zenigundamthe mere fact that its game 7 means it’s a toss up lmao
@@Zenigundam As a Minnesota I’m thinking highly negative… somehow they won with my mindset like that so imma keep it that way
@@brycebirkinbine4119believe in Minnesota, they didn’t believe that we would go up 2-0 against Denver, they don’t believe in the game seven, but we always get it done no matter what
JAMAL FINNA THROW HIS COAT AT THE PRESS! 😂
Who ? Who me ?
@@Dtja11 any basketball questions ? 😂🤣
I've always said that he has a punchable face😂
He had a heatpack cocked.... the press got off lucky😂
Denver is through.
"We got jaden McDaniels "
We got McDonald’s 🤣
People sleeping on him still!
He put himself out there last year for his play now everyone better know his name
I have been telling everyone in the comments, where are Jaden, Conley, and Walker? now they see what I was talking about. Another thing I talked about was to play the Nuggets 1 on 1 you have to take away the assists from Yokic you are not going to stop him from scoring but those assists are "KILLERS". the reason is if you look at the starting 5 lineups we are more talented, that's why I was so frustrated at the coaching staff double-teaming ( you only do that occasionally) them too much leaving someone wide open, and usually 3's. Now our fans can see the result when they play that way!!
I stg 😂😂
Denver has a ring and may get another very possible
He was on his behind like back pockets, LOL Big Perk deserves an Emmy for that line😂😂😂😂!!!!👏👏👏👏
He said it so casual too didn't even crack a smile 😂😂
😂🔥🔥🔥😂

"Game 1 & 2" Jamal Murray tried to redecorate the building with all those bricks he placed up.
And game 6
@@jaimejones1590Thanks Captain Obvious, I was wondering which game he could be describing on a video about GAME 6
shaping up to be one of the best Game 7's of all time
Best script written by Adam Silver of all time.
Because LeBron not in playoffs, the viewership numbers dropped so bad.
So he will have every team go to game 7 in the playoffs now to offset it
Facts
Yes, In the history of these two teams playing a game 7 against each other
@@nor-in5kjppl like you are extremely weird 😂
Pretty good
“He was on his behind like back pockets.” LMFAO! 😂 Ima have to steal that one.
Jamal Murray has changed the narrative on him in one series.. blames an elbow for his poor performances when every player out there is hurting somewhere.. he has been getting locked down. Elbow does nothing about it
Yea dude really only goes off because he has an all time player on his team dudes good but he needs to get back in the lab this summer
Loock down??? Jamal is simply terrible, rest of the team too, they missed 20 open 3s, 20 open 2s, layups... nothing to do with Minesota defense LOL
He not getting locked he missing wide tf open
@@NFKINGTY He's getting locked down and missing shots too
He is still a nba champion. Not sure the narrative is changing jaja the narrative was always the same, great complement to jokic but not good enough to be an allstar or all nba. Like middleton, this is how these kind of players are.
"Step back you dont know me like that" is a subtle atlanta reference for ant
Supposed to be "Get back, motherfucker, you don't know me like that".
lol I was searching to see if anyone caught that Ludicrous line
lol it’s get back get back you don’t know me like that
@@brandonwilliams8220I mean I think that’s the point, it’s basketball, step back. 😒 clearly that doesn’t go over your head.

Murray is one of the greatest examples of “every body tough when they up” I’ve ever seen in the NBA
Him and Hali. Both better win they series lol
That’s definitely cap lmao
@@AliFrankTheTankHali is another good example fr lol
Agree@@Cullor95
Y'all forgot Book. Acting tough when he had CP and Ayton. Just to be torched by Luka on their home floor lololol
Murray choked and blamed his elbow 😂
Bro said Who ?? For me ?? Lmao boy you know you heard him 🤣🤣
That ish was too funny 😂
😂😂😂😂
Jus bc he got one ring he really think he’s like that 🤨😭😤⛽️🪵💨
His ego in this series going to be his demise, and it’ll be televised on sunday
Ant is gonna stomp him for that disrespect
Jamal Murray really Trippin Anthony Edwards been putting the clamps on him, and then he had the nerve to say “who“ nah it’s my elbow lol as if we not watching the game
Like 2 heavyweights standing toe to toe, exchanging blows. Looking forward to game 7
Yup good series
Great analogy
Am I wrong but has each game been a borderline blow out 20+?
The NBA actually has been marketing its basketball with a wrestling / boxing archetype in mind.
Ewards was great but MCDANIELS really saved us.
Nuggets fan here. I totally agree with you.
lmao talk about mcdaniels when yall win, but no mention of him when yall lose? 😂 make it make sense
@@sjacqVO21bruh. He’s talking about the game that JUST happened. He don’t need to build a Time Machine to satisfy you.enjoy the series and quit whining in the comment section

Next: What is your Jersey number?
Conclusion: Are you a starter?
@@sjacqVO21when they loose there stars also didn’t show up, Jaden ain’t paid like them
Man I used to like Murray , crazy how this series changed my perception of him
I never liked the dude he thinks he’s a god cuz he’s on a great team
Go outside and get some sun on your face
Please pull this off Minnesota 🙌🙌
I hope they do,but i think experience will win in the end.
Denver will come back after being humiliated. If MN wins game 7, it will be very close.
@@stevenhartlaub4557 Who cares about it being a close win, them winning is all that matters
Couldn’t be happier for my state tonight. Heck ya Wolves LFG
From texas I’m lovin the wolves
absolutely!!
That team huddle speech was something special. Imagine a 22 year old rallying the troops like a veteran. This Ant-Man kid is different.
They do this in the next game they will win
Jamal Murray always "hurt" when they lose 😒
Better than that dude of the “not enough help” whenever they lose
@@fabianocostacoelho3591They’re both soft and arrogant.
Perk got me scheming how ta put myself in a circumstance ta use the "on his behind like back pockets" line
seeing those real Wolves jerseys, them winning playoff games against real teams, this is surreal. people talking about them positively and not just in a joking way is crazy.
Used to love rebuilding the wolves so glad it’s coming to fruition
Timberwolves went down 9-2, coach immediately called a timeout, made some quick adjustments and they just never looked back. The players played their hearts out tonight, but I gotta give a lot of credit to our coaching staff also.
I wish Steve Kerr didn’t forget how to do this
“He was on his behind like back pockets” perk a fool 😂😂😂😂
As a Lakers fan, this series has turned my respect for Jamal Murray into disdain. He had the nerve to blame his elbow for his poor performance(s) and not the shackles that Ant has put on him?? If Kat and Rudy come to play in Game 7, Denver is toast, Murray is shaky
He was streaky when he beat us last year he never gained my respect as a Lakers fan
Perk-"On his behind like back pockets"... 😂
I like it when Perkins speaks 😂😂😂
He predicted this too
😂😂😂frfr thats my dawg
Perk always stating 💩
For NBA culture, this is interesting because they basically legislated defense out of the league a few times (both Pistons related) to encourage more offense but also to encourage ratings with explosive/exciting play. But here you have probably the new face of the league in Ant with explosive scoring while also having a defense that can shut a team like Denver to 70 in a game. That's crazy.
When u force these offensive minded teams to defend they run out of gas on offense .
I'm sorry for Jammal Murray fans but this series open up a side of him that's not good being seen, from throwing towel, and then heat pack and then dismissive with reporters and now the "who?" well the "who?" i get it, its competitive energy. But clearly his frustration get the best of him very much. Like i said before it's not austin reeves or D'lo who guard him this time.
I still think game 7 Denver should win it but the pressure is different now. Denver is no stranger to game 7 and have the most experience however, the pressure as defending champion will be a new experience in game 7.
Wolves in 7
All they gotta do is make the open shots... they missed sixty shots and about 50 were wide open threes layups and midrange
Bro got clamped 💀💀💀
They better show Ant the Murray interview before Game 7
I was thinking that, too 😂😂😂
Factsss!
Y’s that???
@@BudKing42_OhEdwards been locking him up and Jamal acting like it's his elbow
Masterclass performance by the Wolves!! Anthony Edwards was on fire 👏👏👏👏
God Jokic is a great sport and the best player in the world but Jamal is getting exposed as a child in this series throwing tantrums and trying to act like his elbow is why he was trash today😂
Please trade Joker to the New York knicks and save him, He will be so happy there. Lots of horse race.
He will be very grateful and give you many rings in his prime years to come
He is a class act. He even went over and checked on Ant, I believe even touched his back, to offer support when he was on laying on the ground after falling hard. He doesn't complain, he just does his job so well. The best in the league.
This is just flat out crazy.
Perk analysis tonight is accurate and on point
Really Denver gave it away per nba request
AntMan is thé truth. OMG 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 i love this kid. He can ball
Totally unrelated but can people stop saying Kobe got carried by shaq every time Edwards has a big night at the age of 22 his name is right beside Kobe at age 22 in some stat line
why, I was there watching those finals. KOBE absolutely got carried by Shaq diesel. but there's no shame in that. Shaq was the dominant, unstoppable force at that time. Kobe lovers have tunnel vision. I'm a 6ers fan and always loved the game. Shaq was da best player on the team those 1st two championships.
Espn gotta keep that lebron better than kobe narrative alive
Shaq definitely dominated in the finals but Kobe put in his work throughout the playoffs esp on the spurs blazers kings etc. respect the man
@@user-qw7xq7ni9pnobody was saying Kobe was the best player. They were a duo. In the west Kobe dominated, in the finals Shaq dominated. Everyone knew the conference finals were the real finals those years against Portland, spurs , kings.
Competitive series but I wish the individual games were better. Nothing like games coming down to one or two possessions at the end. Hopefully game 7 delivers that.
Someone else said it in here but it’s like two heavy weight fighters exchanging blows
True, but the reason why there's nothing like it is because it's rare. Games that are decided in the last few possessions just can't be expected to happen often, but when they do, you're right. They're the best.
You are seeing elite defense on both sides
Jamal poor form, gotta own it and stop whinging and making excuses!
They got jokic but we got Jaden McDaniels
Said no one ever

Why Rudy aint suspended for thing that he do TWICE!

@@gloopdogg1145the money sign??? He got fined twice tf you mean? There is no comparison to doing the money sign, throwing a towel at a ref then throwing a heating pad that landed on the floor during live gameplay ALL IN THE SAME GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!! The n*gga got $100K fine and that was it! For context, when Gobert did the money sign the first time, it was an $100K fine alone! He didn’t throw anything so how are the fines/penalties the same if Murray’s actions were way more egregious?
Didn't matter they were going to lose anyway
9 points in a quarter by a team is CRAZY JUST CRAZY
Love the passionate fans. That place was rockin
The only thing holding the Timberwolves back is playoff experience and they’re getting that with this playoff run. If they keep this up, they’re going to be scary for years to come.
It's time for the DNA test. "Michael Jordan YOU ARE THE FATHER"
😂😂😂😂
Y’all forgot about the GOAT Marcus Jordan
😂😂😂😂
Step back you don't know me like that 😂😂
When did he say that I’m truna find it
Ant man does have the MJ vibe
Anthony edwards leadership is beautiful keep it up legend
Anthony Edward’s is therapeutic for Timberwolves fans…. He says to KAT, all the things Wolves fans wish they could . 🥰
I've been a Wolves fan. If I'm being honest, the refs have always been tough on Towns. There's some guys in the league that it seems they get called for ticky tack fouls more than others. They did the same thing to Dwight Howard. I have no clue what their deal is.
@@FindMe04 🤣👍 Yeah I gotcha man… but KAT is guilty of all the things Ant criticizes him for… like Ants told him to take his time in the post, and face up to read the defense and make a great pass. Stayed outta foul trouble(which Ant brought up again at tonight’s post game)
@@FindMe04It's because Towns has a tendency to run his mouth and act overly dramatic at times. He's at his best when he just puts his head down and plays.
Jimmy Butler played for Wolves, complained about KAT, but didn’t do much to help him. Played for 76ers, complained about Ben and Embiid, but didn’t do much to help them… to see a 22 year old take KAT, light a fire under him, encourage him, support and help the man focus right to be the presence that he should be, as well as for his other teammates… I’ve never seen someone in the NBA do that to this level. I believe Ant is going to dominate this league over his career, and I’m here for it
Matchup made in heaven. They are equal but not in terms of playstyle or depth. Wolves have strong depth while Denver is so well coached and has a strong 123 punch!
Hate Murray never take accountability for his shitty play
im sayin.. dis ngga talm bout his elbow 😂😂😂😂
He's a front runner like LeBron
@@andrewgiegerich8211 lmao shut up you cringe bronsexual

If the NBA didn’t rob the Wolves by not suspending Murray this series would’ve been over‼️ wolves are the better team
Yeah us fans well maybe the media really needs to speak on that I'm sure some will after if wolves win!!!
Probably would have been a sweep if he was suspended
Delusion is a heavy drug , wolves are not the better team , cus you have blowout wins don’t make you better
We are the better team when Jaden ( all series no scoring), Walker ( missing wide-open layups and 3's not scoring), and Conley ( turnovers and injuries, low scoring) show up.
@@lionelhowell4972 hard for Jaden to score when the refs cheating wolves putting him in foul trouble non stop
@@bksfinest9582 They were, but he has to adjust to the way they are calling. he and Walker have to score the ball. Every time during these playoffs when those 2 are putting up ###'s we are very hard to beat.

As a Wolves fan, I respect Coach Malone. He is a great coach, and I am sure he will get his team ready for a competitive game 7.

A really bad sign for the Nuggets to lose like that. I'm shocked with the way they played, those first two losses were not a fluke by any means. A game like this gives the Timberwolves all the confidence they need going into game 7.

How believable is it that a team will win 3 straight including a blowout, than get beat by 45? Doesnt seem very realistic to me.
@lapocasini1246 I tried telling nuggets fans that nba was fake after game 3,4 and 5 but they wasn't having it until they got blown out by 45 in game 6

The blowouts in this series are something else. I can't read what team is going to win game 7.
It’s so extreme only 1 close game
Jamal looks rattled
I’ve never seen a game where a team missed as many shots as the nuggets did in this game. It was like the ball was scared to drop in the hoop, so many in and outs lol. Incredible defense by the timberwolves but wow it was crazy how none of the nuggets shots were falling.
🧲 maybe ... anything to make this go seven ....
And they defense wasn't that impressive to me because Denver was getting everything they wanted inside and out jus couldn't hit nothing
Games like that from Denver is the reason why I say they're not as good as everybody says they are
