Gotta keep Caruso on the floor. That guy is a difference maker.

Caruso is a menace out there

Who do you think won the Knicks-Wolves trade to this point? Any different than you thought at the time of the trade?

It will be interesting if wee a rematch between the Nuggets and T'Wolves in the WCF and if the result goes the other way this time because Minnesota no longer has the twin towers. That may play a big factor in deciding whether it is was a worthwhile trade.

I didn't like it for Minny at the time. I didn't like it for them at midseason. Randle has been phenomenal in the playoffs though. Better than Towns. He has been making the case for Minny as the (surprising) winner of this trade. Next round may turn that on its head though.

Both. Great D + bad shooting.

They have effectively stopped each other from executing their main offensive options. Forcing other guys to make plays. They are struggling.

Great job by Caruso to deflect that pass by Jokic to A Gordon to stop a dunk. Jokic got it back though. Unlucky for OKC.

I thought in real time Jokic pushed Caruso to get that ball

I thought the Jokic push on Caruso was a tough one. Marginal. Could be called. Could be play on.

I didn't think Caruso had enough contact to call a foul on him on Jokic's shot. Minimal contact. Incidental contact. Jokic flopped.

BALL DON'T LIE!!!

Big bucket by J-Dub. Strong take there on a night where he has struggled offensively. Strong mentality.

That is more like it SGA. Nice one.

Follows that up with a terrible decision to take a contested 3 off the dribble. Lucky they got an offensive rebound. Awful shot selection by SGA.

And then he does it again. Dumbass. Wasted 2 opportunities to score there. A 2pt bucket would have stretched the lead to 9 with 90secs left. A big lead. Dumbass.

Denver score on the other end. 5 point lead. Dumbass.

Turnover SGA. Denver ball.

Another awful possession by SGA on the subsequent possession. Dribbled the ball for an entire possession. Created nothing. Was content to dribble out the clock with 7secs left on the shot clock instead of trying to create something. Then forced into a horrible 21 foot leaner to avoid the shot block.
