I’m admittedly a little surprised by the odds of the Wolves series
Spurs are +132 to *sweep*
Sure, Minnesota will struggle to score but … I’d be very surprised if they didn’t take a single game and weren’t competitive in numerous games

Anthony Edwards taking some standstill free throws at Wolves practice today

Anthony Edwards getting shots up after practice. Chris Finch says no change in his “week to week” status just yet.

@NBABlackburn The better team won the series. It just is what it is.
English
If this happens.
Victor Wembanyama will go through the same 3 teams in the Western Conference as Tim Duncan did in 1999 for his first championship.
Blazers, Wolves, Lakers 👀

Call me delusional, but I’ve got the Lakers shocking the world and doing the unthinkable against OKC.

@VojaMedic @Jetlife_Ryan_ As opposed to when teams are not cocky and they fall and it's super fun
English
@Jetlife_Ryan_ I'm not just saying in the next round, in general with the teams that are this outspoken and cocky, when they fall it's not fun.
As far as the title window it was closing for a couple of years, new era of the NBA you gotta take advantage when the pieces fall into place like 2023

He can talk all he wants, they won the rubber match series.
But usually this type of talk never ends well, it all comes around

Jaden McDaniels on the Denver rivalry "Yeah, you could say it's a rivalry. — I don't know if we can anymore after we beat them, like, 2, 3 times, but it's cool." "You're saying that they can't be in your class anymore bc you guys have gotten the last 2 series?" "Basically."

@milehigh_ @Abovethelies1 @NugsGetBuckets I'm shocked the average nugget fan doesn't know ball (I'm not)
English
@MScottCooperCS @Abovethelies1 @NugsGetBuckets Lmao don’t start with that 1940’s and 50’s crap. There was like 9 teams in the league and barely 2500 in attendance. You’re talking about plumbers that played basketball. Those banners als hang in LA and don’t even belong to the Timberpups. What a reach…
English
I get why the Timberwolves are this excited.
They have never won a ring so beating the Nuggets is the closest they will ever get.
English
@milehigh_ @Abovethelies1 @NugsGetBuckets Minneapolis has 5 NBA championship rings from the Lakers. Squish.
English
@Abovethelies1 @NugsGetBuckets Obviously Einstein… Hang the Banner. Denver still a superior sports town and this series doesn’t phase us like you think it does.
English
@NuggetsLead @zimbabwe3448 5 rings with the Minneapolis Lakers. Cya next year.
English
Never forget Nikola Jokic's path to his championship in 2023
Beat KAT, ANT, and Gobert (4-1)
Beat Durant, Booker, and CP3 (4-2)
Beat LeBron, Anthony Davis, and Reaves (4-0)
Beat Bam, Herro, and Butler (4-1)
ONE OF THE GREATEST RUNS WEVE EVER SEEN...😳🐐
English
The craziest part about where the Nuggets and we as a people find ourselves is that it is very likely that the Nuggets win this series with the guys that just went down for the wolves.
English
@PetersenWill The Wolves just had 2 devastating injuries to their starting backcourt. Nuggets ain’t worth a shit if they can’t close out this series now. Not sure why you would think this is bizarre.
English
The Nuggets, down 3-1, are barely favorites to lose this series. Vegas always knows but this is bizarre 🤯
English
@cainc24 @ShahbazMKhan That would have been the peak moment of the franchise. I love Gobert.
English
@ShahbazMKhan Why couldn’t the 3 attempt have gone in the other night? It would have broken the internet
English
Rudy Gobert always good for one miracle play you’ve never seen him do late in a closeout game against the Nuggets.
this and that Peter Griffin turnaround in G7 are shit you’ve never seen 27 even attempt on a court. incredible feeling
English
@waltdenver Don't look away. Denver chose this with their win in San Antonio.
English
Jaden grabbed Jamal’s jersey 57 times to
Make sure he didn’t get by him. Somehow zero fouls.
English
@NugsGetBuckets Don't look away. You guys chose this with that cute little win in San Antonio.
English
The Timberwolves are allowed to foul every single possession and nobody cares
English
@Will_d_jones Don't look away. You guys chose this with that win in San Antonio.
English
What's your best-case scenario outcome for tonight?
Bones goes for 25 in a win?
Big TJ night?
Julius dominates with physicality?
Jaden slamming the door?
Perfect world, what happens?
English
I understand that losing Anthony Edwards and Donte DiVincenzo are huge blows, but the primary reasons the Wolves are up 3-1 are:
- Jaden defense on Murray
- Rudy defense on Jokić
- Pace/athleticism from Ayo/Naz/Bones/Jaden
Those remain unchanged. 11.5-point dogs is crazy
