    I don't know why people were surprised at the outcome of this game because the Minnesota Timberwolves were one of the best teams in the Western Conference all season long they played four games against the Denver Nuggets this season and they split to a games a piece, I see this being a long series and I think it could honestly go seven games, I don't think anyone that really knows anything about basketball can honestly count the defending NBA champions out after one game but Minnesota is a very good team and it's about time people stop underestimating them and start realizing how talented they are, it's funny how everybody honestly thought that the Lakers were going to play Denver better than anyone else as a 7th seed which they continually stayed around the entire season at the bottom of the Western Conference and for some reason people were surprised that the Minnesota Timberwolves who had one of the best records in basketball was able to go into Denver and win a basketball game, it just doesn't make any sense

MJ inspired me thats why hell be my number 1 always but jokic made me believe in basketball again and they have an actual team in denver. now with ant is something especial and they should keep doing what they did in game one. either way im inspired by both of these dudes, and im glad basketball is in good hands now that lebron is on the way out, i hope jokic and ant keep thee hunger even after a win or loss this year, carry that into years to come
