We should be sued for coaching malpractice for this lineup its hot effing garbage with no PG and a completely useless Kyle Anderson on the floor. Morris should have been in for him.

We had our boot on their throat and then NoriFinch gave them life by pulling Mike and KAt early.

Naz Reid has been some kind of awful and NAW should not be your lead ballhandler against the kind of pressure Denver brings.

Absolute travesty to be down 2 points at the end of the quarter when we had an 18-4 lead 7 minutes into the game.

Monte Morris should be on the floor when Conley goes out.

Anyone else going to show up? At this rate Ant will need to score 90

We need two words Naz Reid, we are getting one word Naz Reid and I can't post that word without it being censored.

Kyle Anderson does nothing out there.

Ref really let mpj step inbounds then step out of bounds with the ball in his hand wtf
all I ever needed was somebody with some reason who can keep me sane
Ever since I can remember, I've been keepin' it together, but I'm feelin' strange

Thank you refs for putting Kyle Anderson on the bench with foul trouble.

I like seeing the stars make cuts. There was one from Towns, and KAT fed a cutting Ant in the first quarter.

I was downvoted for writing that DEN bench has more chemistry and discipline... Q1: Reid missed an easy layup, turnover, NAW turnover...

That was a pretty awful start for the bench. They combined to go 0-2 on 3s with 5 TO and 4 fouls.

If Karl gets Jokic in ISO like that he needs to go to the basket.

I never expected their bench to out play our bench. Much less to this degree.

Feels like wolves bench always looks bad against the Nuggets. They have to dominate if they're gonna win this serious

100%. Karl’s shot was one I expect with 2 seconds left on the shot clock, not with over 14.

Crazy. Reid and NAW are -17 and -16.

Defence has been good but our offence surely needs to get better. As much as I have enjoyed Ant scoring at will, it seems our offence has been a bit too much iso rather than team basketball.

Sometimes plus/minus can be misleading. This is not the case. They’ve both been terrible.

They played worse than that. I don’t know how to explain to someone not watching how bad they were, but I simply cannot tell the story of this game without being able too.
