Nice 10-2 run by Minny, down to 5

  • Sometimes there's no sane reason for optimism
Just as expected the Nuggets experience champions and the Wolves youth and inexperience it’s on full display. Nuggets are coming outta the west.
That is what scares me about DEN vs BOS.

Denver are the only team that can out-experience Boston. Boston have more experience than any of the other teams. Only Denver has more them.

They won a Title, but I wouldn't say they have more experience. They've each only been to one Finals. Boston consistently goes to at least the ECF every year and all of our best players are in their prime. Jokic is obviously scary, but I don't think guys like Gordon, Porter Jr, KCP, and Braun are better/more experienced than Jrue, White, KP, and Horford.

Don’t see Denver losing this game
It doesn't look good for Minny. Looks like one of those learning experience type games for young teams that are not yet ready for prime time.

Worst thing for Minnesota was beating the nuggets by 45 points in game 6. That woke them up.

1992 Finals Gm 6.

Bulls down to POR. MJ on the bench. Pippen and the 2nd unit drive the comeback. MJ comes back and helps finish the job.

Minny's other guys doing a great job here getting their team back in the game while Ant is on the bench.

Oh, I think winning makes a big difference.

I mentioned that 1992 Bulls vs Blazers Finals. Chicago was nervy in 1991 against LAL but were much more comfortable the following season after their title experience. Meanwhile, Portland had been to the Finals in 1990 but lost and were still just as nervy in 1992.

That confidence winning gives you is real.

LOL the "Lets Go Nuggets" chants sounds literally like "Lets go Celtics" or maybe it's just my stream?

I don't know about others, but I find Murray to be one of the most unlikable guys in the league.

Minny got it to 34-29. Then DEN had a 6-0 run. 40-29. This brought Ant back in off the bench. It hasn't made much of a difference so far.

Dallas will give Denver a better series. The games will be closer throughout. Minnesota CANNOT shoot, you do not have to respect them.

Those Braun misses could haunt Denver later if they don't bury the Wolves.

If Ant has a bad game tonight then he deserves the criticism. Fair is fair. Tatum catches this heat all the time even when he was younger and lost some big games.

1-6, 3 points, team down double digits. Isn't this Michael Jordan Jr. we're watching??

Beautiful Dirk-esque shot by Towns.
