Agreed. Jokic is a fraud and Gobert owns him.

Too late bruh, you can't counter jinx Raps in 4. His bad juju is unmatched. Chuck level (who btw guranteed a Wolves sweep and we immediately lose big lol).

This is true and KAT is way too professional and emotionally secure to let game 3 rattle him whatsoever. I expect him to come out and be absolutely dominant in game 4.

Welp. If they can win another, then this becomes a series. If they don't win game 4, this was just a pleasant moment in time for Jokic and the Nuggets. They needed this, and they got it. Now the real work begins.

I was feeling down about the game. But read back 20 pages, and saw this.

This Raps in 4 guy is the ultimate jinx in these match threads or his takes on rap beef battles (his username even jinxed Raptors to Wizards level).

So now I'm calm and just waiting for the now guranteed Wolves in 5 or 6.

Thank you Raps.

damn, Raps in 4 you are **** us

All joking aside I'll still take Anthony Edwards over anybody to close out a series when the time comes. That dude is just built different.

might say this in a few years but not now with just a handful of impressive playoff performances. So many people built different that they are not that different anymore lol.

Denver ain’t the defending champs for nothing, so don’t be surprised if they win game 4, and if they do things get really interesting from there.

Turned that ish off at halftime. Good game Denver. I'm actually glad they showed up to make it a series. Let's go Sunday night.

These playoffs are so boring. So many lackluster performances. Except 2-3 games it has been a letdown so far.

Well you're defending someone for throwing things on the court, which to my knowledge has never been done before. No one was stupid enough to do it. "but you can't suspend him because it's the playoffs".

So you can pretty much do anything and get away with it because, it's the playoffs.

Or perhaps it's just a player throwing something on the court? It's not that big of a deal.

Suspending players for nonsense, reducing overall talent on the floor is a terrible idea

They gave LeBron a ring for a nut-shot. So make it make sense then.

Draymond attacked another player while having a history of attacking other players.

Murray threw an object onto the court, hurting zero people.

Why does your brain automatically assume those things are the same in terms of seriousness?

I told my buddy after the first 30 seconds of this game that the Wolves looked flat. They were. That's why they didn't compete. Absolutely no fire and no intensity.

Didn’t someone threw a chair to a couple of Nuggets’ staff last year and ended up with only a $50000 fine (no suspension carry onto the regular season)? That someone was Anthony Edwards.

Getting fined $100,000, you ought to think Murray threw a grenade towards the basket. Seeing how much he struggled that game, he probably forgot to pull the pin.

This series is a rare case of home disadvantage coming into play. Its still anyone's game.

I suggest maybe watch the games. It's been a great playoffs imo. OKC/MIN breaking out in the West and trying for jump start their dynasties. Mavs trying to figure it out. DEN struggling massively but trying to find their groove again. East is wide open. NYK and IND having a battle and we're seeing the CAVS stepping up against BOS. See how that goes. There's been some really good games and series so far and it'll only get better.

Games 1-2 felt like fake games. Like refs decided to call them the complete oposite of the way any game in this playoffs or regular season were called to help young exciting team with US basketball star. I hope game 4 will be good game

The refs called it like that in the first round against the Suns.

Wolves were allowed to play super aggressive and it it flustered the Suns who lack size and aggressiveness. I don't think the Suns would have won anyway even if the refs called a lot of fouls on the Wolves because the supporting cast like Conley and McDaniels were on fire and KAT had some amazing scoring outbursts.

Did McDaniels just forget how to shoot after Round 1?

He’s been a terrible shooter since the first month of the season. Without looking at the actual data, I think he probably was below 30% from 3 over the last 50 games of the regular season.

Who wins GAME 7 and goes to the WCFs?
