Minnesota feel nervy after the refs missed a few calls. They gotta make sure they don't let themselves get rattled. Settle down. Execute. Control your emotions.

Feels like this is done in 6 if Denver wins.

Still don't believe in Joe.

Wow, terrible swing there for Minny. Went from 7 down to 15 down in like 20 seconds.

Jokic = 9-15 FGA 19pts
A Gordon = 6-6 FGA 14pts

It is not just them either. DEN are roasting. 64% FG%. 50% 3PT%. 64 points on 42 shots, 6 FTAs and 6 TOVs. So 64pts on 51 possessions for 1.25 points per possession.

Wow. What an end to the half.  Could have been 5, but it’s 15.

Mitchell questionable for tomorrow with a calf strain.

OH MY!!!!!!!!!!



Terrible news. That means we lose by 20, doesn't it.

Another potential trap game  :-X Usually means Boston plays down to their competition, but this time it's not the Heat it's the Cavs!

Almost like this team are defending champions or something? Minnesota’s defense is getting sliced up.

Give up an 8-0 run in under 30 seconds to end the half. just a back breaker for Minnesota.

Wow, the downside to the wolves potentially “choking” is Denver is so freaking good and if they get through this I don’t see them losing

Ant = 9-12 FGA for 23pts
Towns = 1-10 FGA for 3pts

Naz has 9pts. McDaniels 6pts. Conley 5pts. Gobert 1pt. NAW 2pts. Not much help from the supporting cast aside from Naz Reid. And Towns is a no-show.

Rest of Minny = 10-31 FGA not including Ant

Bostons Achilles heal, remove the opponents best players and Celtic have a mental breakdown, they forget to keep the eye on the prize …and crumble to lesser men

Denver scare me a lot more as an opponent than Minnesota do. Jokic is one heck of a matchup problem. The two man game of Jokic & J Murray is a major problem.

Minnesota would be a much easier team to matchup with. They cause some problems with their overall size & athleticism but they have nobody who can single handedly unravel our defense like Jokic can.

They have 34 points in the paint already. Yikes

Playoff inexperience caught up to them perhaps...to be up 2-0 and stealing both games in Denver to now possibly losing home court advantage. That's a tough pill to swallow.
