2024 NBA Season and Playoffs

Ant shoots terribly: he trusts his teammates.

Tatum shoots similarly: his teammates saved him.

The narrative the next few weeks will be nauseating.

Yeah it’s gotten weird at this point. Hopefully Tatum just starts playing his best ball now.

Wow did Jokic give up there.

I don't recall ever seeing a team give up like that, down 7 with 33 seconds to go. Jokic bends over and puts his mouthpiece in his sock.

I thought play stopped for some reason. Game was not over.  Bad look. Even Jokic’ final drive - was casual. Could have saved 5 seconds and shot a 3.

Just wanting to get home to his horses isn’t as cute when you lose In the second round, woof

The boxscore tells the tale. It was basically Two vs five. Yikes

Feel happy for Wolves fans. So many years of pain and heartbreaks. They deserve tonight

20 years since KG led them to the WCF. 2004 to 2024.

That year and this year are the only times in their history they even managed to win a playoff series. Both times end up going to the WCF.

Defending champion Nuggets actually blew a 20-point lead in a game 7 at home. Incredible.

What is the best Nuggets forum chat room - Gotta be a complete meltdown.

  Gonna be an interesting WCF ….

Now we root for a seven game Western Conference finals where the winning team comes out exhausted.

Wow, I didn't realize how little the others did.

J Murray 35pts 3ast 13-26 FGA
Jokic 34pts 19reb 7ast 13-28 FGA

Those two were the only ones in double digits.

MPJ 7pts 9reb 2blk 3-12 FGA
A Gordon 4pts 4reb 2ast
KCP 5pts 6reb 3ast 2stl 1blk 2-7 FGA

Braun 5pts 3reb 3ast
R Jackson / Justin Holiday = scoreless


It is amazing outside of MPJ none of them even shot the ball that much. A Gordon had 5 shots. Braun 3 shots. R Jackson 1 shot. Justin Holiday 0 shots. KCP only 7 shots. 5 players 16 shots. 5 players 114 minutes 16 shots. What is that? One shot every 7-8 minutes. Barely in the game.

not really Wolves waxing the Nugs

Murray: 13/27 for 35 points.
Jokic: 13/28 for 34 points.

The entire rest of the Nuggets was 8/28 for 21 points. Just a huge let down by the supporting cast.

It can't be good, but they did win last year. I think fans [in general, not Boston] are a lot less wound up once you bring a Title to your city somewhat recently.

Of course I want the Cs to begin a dynasty, but if they win just one in the next couple of years, I am going to be so relieved. It's been a long journey

They should have kept Bruce Brown. This was like us letting go of James Posey too.

It seems that way from the stats, but they also got a 20 point lead with such high usage in the first place. Once they cooled off, the offense fell off a cliff. Tough to blame your teammates when they never got a chance to get going. Unless they were going to get the other guys some actual easy looks, Jokic and Murray needed to continue to carry the load and they couldn't.

I see some Nuggets fans blaming fatigue on Murray cooling off. Saying he lost his legs in the 2nd half on his jump-shot. Also saying Jokic was clearly gassed after playing 46 minutes.

They are quite angry at MPJ. Disappearing in this series after dominating in the Lakers series.
