After Denver took games 3 & 4 at Minny, I thought this series was over. Amazing.

Haha, KCP! C'mon man. You are not boxing out some little guard. That is Karl Anthony Towns. You gotta put a body on him.

Unpopular opinion here, I acknowledge that either of these teams is a threat if we don't play well, but I'm actually more wary of Minnesota's teamwide length and defensive presence than I am of Jokic ripping our offense apart.  The Wolves have the right team composition to put the Jays through hell for a series and I just don't think Denver has that.  Yes, Jokic is a problem, but I don't think that team can stop us.

Yeah, I have gone back and forth on this too. I was impressed by how Minny played against us earlier this season. They matched up well. Their length and athleticism caused us problems.

I like our experience advantage over Minny though.

Eh, I feel like a lot of this is matchup dependent. I think they matchup well with Denver, particularly their defense that can help contain Jokic and his overall impact.

Our offense is much more perimeter oriented with many more weapons and less Jokic-centric, meaning it's more dynamic and hard to guard for them, even with their good perimeter defense.

Additionally, we're a significantly better defense than Denver and have the necessary weapons to limit Minny's limited offense.
Recovering Joe Skeptic, but inching towards a relapse.

Cannot believe a defending champion down single digits is not trying everything to come back here, even @ 20 seconds.
Lot of crazy things have happened in the last minute of games in the NBA.
