yikes, he took a back bump like a wrestler

 

[rolaholic]

He'll be alright.

 

[jpzx]

Thank god

Foul on McDaniels? How Sway

 

[ballinsam23]

Wolves defense has been on point this game

Murray missing shots he usually makes though

 

[elpablo21]

How did the Wolves pull this off with the worst DPOY in history?

 

[T0INE]

Any pre/halftime/post ESPN NBA show is an automatic mute for me.

TBH the same goes for the TNT crew at this point.

 

[651akathepaul]

If Jaden stays making those, its a wrap. Coming up huge today...finally.

Nuggets just chucking up bricks every possession now

They’re a combined -1 in the Gobert minutes in the last 2 games.

In G2 the point of emphasis was limiting Jokic’s shots, doubling him on every single touch below the 3 point line.

Theoretically doubling Jokic is the last thing you want to do but Denver didn’t make any plays out of it in G2 and Jokic had no rhythm, so you have to at least try it again for an extended period.

Another benefit of doubling Jokic is you cut down on the paint points.

Denver will be better in G7 but you have to show Jokic a crowd on every touch

It feels like Jokic is saving his energy for game 7. He's not being assertive at all.

14 shots in the 1st half. Plenty aggressive

Just the rest of the team can't shoot a lick though

 

[toneboi76]

KAT has been great

 

[T0INE]

Ain't that Meek with that sassy "Get Up!" at the end?

 

[lawdog1]

Only thing interesting about this game now is when Malone gives up and pulls all the starters.

 

[jpzx]

Ant back to the locker room, hopefully it’s just for treatment because we’re up so much.

 

[QU!K]

If NBA suspended Jamal Murray game 3

Would the Wolves have been up 3-0?

 

[sooperhooper]

Bro l can't understand how nuggets, esp Murray played THIS trash

 

[elpablo21]

The KAT flex

 

[lawdog1]

Crazy...3 hour wait and they turned cars away for the bobble heads

osh kosh bosh - guess it’s probably good he speaks limited English. US infrastructure might not being able to handle him being much more popular.

Nah...shots doesn't mean agressive. A chunk of them shots are 3's...he's chillin around the 3 pt line all game waiting for others to cook. He's unstoppable in the paint...I know the Wolves are crowding him, but he's not really forcing the issue either.

This was my preferred outcome. Massive blowout I feel like I missed very little.
