I think refs got that 1 right though hard to not give Jokic 1 even though I agree Minnesota baited him a bit. Reid could of been ejected that's tough call. Incredible game and crowd
Guy took how many cheap shots and then gets the same punishment for going chest to chest with one of them. It's a terrible call IMO, but pretty consistent with how they usually call it.
Ideally refs would of called initial shove on clark but they can't allow jokic to just take it into his own hands or you'll get bigger brawls. It was a tough situation but Denver ended with a free throw which to me felt like right result
Murray has been awful on both ends of court. Timberwolves depleted backcourt has completely outplayed Denvers healthy backcourt
Is this the same dude that ran the Born basketball camp decades ago? I think he played for the Iowa Energy at the time?
Christian Braun is not a $25 million a year player. That overpay is going to kill them
They didn't have anyone who could make a shot, especially Murray
Can’t believe the wolves won that. Down Ant, DDV, Ayo. Jaden McDaniels talked that **** and backed it up
Braun/Murray 5-21 for 15 points tonight felt like that's the game.
Seriously, what were they thinking with that? Paying a guy at the most plentiful position in the league that kind of money to be a below average role player is killing that team.
The people who think the NBA is all offense and zero defense didnt warch Goebert's defense massively play a role in winning that series against one of the greatest players ever.
He was really good as a rookie, and stepped up nicely after we lost KCP. I think the plan was expecting him to continue to improve.
But he got hurt early in the year, and then when he came back he’s been a disaster. Since Denver is not a free agent destination, I don’t mind overpaying the guys we got while developing. But it’s bitten us twice now with MPJ (even though he was good for the Nets this year) and now Braun, if their development stalls
Congrats to all Minnesota fans. This was the most disgusting Nuggets team I’ve seen since we won the title. Didn’t even try to play D all year, and showed 0 heart all season.
We’ll see you on the ice rink! Hopefully the Colorado team has more luck in that series, but it’s going to a brawl

I suppose, but the NBA is loaded with wings that could play off of Jokic and score at a high level. He was pretty good last year, but guys like him are plentiful in the league.
Chris Finch is ridiculously underrated as a coach.
Also, with Ant out, gives other guys a chance to be more alpha...however long term, Ant has to be in the equation to make another run at the finals.
Arguably the greatest night in Minnesota sports since the twins won the World Series in 1991. And having both clinch at home was icing on the cake
Sorry to Nuggets fans on here but I enjoy seeing them knocked out. Jokic amazing but IMO gets a free pass from the media pretty often for both his defense and the dirty plays/scuffles he consistently finds himself in.
Luka for example gets murdered constantly online and by the media for his defense while Jokic gets abused and you hardly hear a peep.
Add in Jamal Murray and it’s an easy team for me to root against.

I’ve had enough of Murray. I wouldn’t mind Denver trading him. The team as it is now is not working anymore. Need changes and fresh blood.
