2024 NBA Playoffs: West Semifinals: #2 Denver Nuggets vs #3 Minnesota Timberwolves (MIN WINS 4-3)

[Funcrusher]

Anyone else getting Israeli propaganda as their half time show?

What?

If I run up and push someone to the floor and take the ball, that will be called 100/100 times. If not, then someone is messing up and should be fired. There are some calls that have to be called otherwise you just aren’t watching

What basketball league has less blown call than the NBA?

My local co-ed league.

What basketball league has higher salaries for ref than the NBA? Should we not have higher expectation?

If NBA refs are so bad, you should be able to point me to a league with better refs. I ask this question of ref bashers all the time and never get an answer. When I watch NCAA games, the refs blow *way* more calls. And if you can't identify a league with better refs maybe you need to accept NBA refs do a great job all thing considered. And that calling a game in real time is a lot harder than sitting on your couch watching replays.

I think whoever wins this series wins the title.

Yeah, I just don't trust Boston.
And if Boston doesn't come out of the East? lmao oh my..

Yeah, Boston has some strong pretender vibes.

Amazing how Murray can play like a star in the clutch after being so bad for long periods.

Truly an enigma.

Clearly isn't healthy.

Complaining about the calls is ridiculous this early in the game. The Nuggets have 2 more FTAs, and 2 less personal fouls. None of the TWolves starters are close to being in foul trouble. The refs are letting them play. Yes, they missed some calls here and there, but it's hardly egregious.

It's been pretty bad

Dirk has kept himself in shape. It is always interesting to see which athletes keep exercising after they retire and which don't.

Fat-Dirk would be a weird one. He has always been a string-bean. I can't imagine him NOT looking like that.

I'm now picturing fat-Dirk and fat-Reggie together.

same here
the C's are good but i'm not sure KP will actually return and who knows how he'll be missing considerable time this late in the season
without KP or with a 70% KP they are def beatable and imo Denver and Minny would be the favorites without KP

Reggie Jackson needs more help

i just love the fact that we've already known what these two are made of early this series; the Wolves do have the weapons (led by Ant) to keep up with Denver and the Nuggets are indeed resilient and will be a tough customer to deal with whatever the situation.

It also kept in check the overreactions and we won't see any of those anymore. i think. LOL

Kenny keeps saying if you beat one Smith you beat them all. That seems like the opposite of what he means to say.

Kenny isn't very smart
Source: I have watched him on TV for 20 years

I let it go the first time.

Then he said it a second time and now I have to assume he has no idea whats coming out of his mouth.

I like Dirk here a lot better than Shaq.

But I like anyone on the panel better than Shaq so I don't know.

[Exp0sed]

also, whoever wins this series if they go all the way pfff..that's a sick route to the finals
beating a healthy PHX\Lakers team in the first, an elite Nuggets or Wolves team in the 2nd and a healthy Mavs or OKC team in the WCF with the stacked C's in the finals - that's sick..

Something something the others. Something something BBQ chicken.

Reggie Jackson needs more help

i clowned him all season but even if he completely sucks the rest of the way he still earned his 5M paycheck in that litte crucial stretch lol

every european league has better refs. there's your answer. don't say you never get it next time

[Woodsanity]

Surely things will even out and Murray won't be bad all playoffs....

7 for 7 in the fourth quarter please.

[Wolfgang630]

Will Denver ever have 1 game where they’re great from beginning to end?

[CobraCommander]

Reggie miller has never heard of SGA

Ant > SGA

He means you beat one, you [have to] beat them all. It's implied.

Why do you trust Minnesota more than Boston?

Mostly because of the path. The East and their matchups aren't exactly helping them ramp up and I don't trust Tatum to be THE guy in the Finals.

Whereas with Minny, if they win this series I see that as a serious "leveling up" and I trust Ant to deliver if the game is close enough.

And as far as OKC/Dallas go, I think OKC is a year ahead of schedule (not a bad thing, hell that was basically the 2012 run) and I worry about Doncic's knee for Dallas.
