jokic so sick. really all the nuggets. seemed like they shot 80% tonight on wild trick floaters. would take them over heartless celtics any day.

feels like Minnesota needs Conley back for gm 6

Denver was putting 2 on the ball on Edwards and the other perimeter guys just couldnt do a whole lot

also Jokic is good

Where was Denver the first 2 games ?

The negativity I red from certain posters about the Knick is alarming .

Can anyone remind me why Dallas didn’t kept Brunson again ?

They should have made a decision on him the previous summer whether that's signing him to a reasonable extension or trading him for some value. But, I can't blame them for not matching the Knicks offer. I thought that was a huge overpay at the time. Obviously, I was very wrong.

Really buying into strongman Thibs and his ironmen. "We are the New York Knicks, suck on our New York dicks", etc.

It might go 7 if Minny just shoot lights out next game, which is a thing that can obviously happen in the modern NBA. But over the last 3 games Denver appear to have "figured out" their opponents. The contrast between game 2 and game 5 was stunning. That extra couple of days between games 2 and 3 were put to good use by Malone and staff.

"Rick Carlisle is an embarrassment to the United States of America. There should be zero Pacers fans at game 6 if he's coaching this team". lolol

Nuggets/Wolves reminds me of Spurs/Thunder WCF in ‘12 where the Spurs were up 2-0 and then OKC figured them out and won 4-2, except that was probably more impressive since they didn’t have anyone nearly as good as Jokic.

That plus the Spurs were 10-0 in the playoffs and looked unstoppable.

Hot take - Duncan Spurs underachieved the last ten years or so, should’ve won like 3 titles instead of 1.

I concur with the above, albeit the Raps in 2019 down 0-2 to the (better regular season team in the) Bucks and needing overtime to make it 1-2 in game 3, before sweeping the rest was impressive/unexpected as well

Dream scenario:

Someone loses their shoe on the court.

Opposing team picks it up and throws it their bench.

And the team hides the shoe/refuses to give it back.

I WANT THIS TO PLAY OUT

Wolves definitely had quite the last 3 weeks, looking unstoppable, 6-0 with 1 close game where Book shot 20 FTs, Murray hurt, everyone saying Ant about to be "face of league", should be title favs (sobv sans Celts easier road) to got smoked 3 straight, Murray looks close to fine now, Conley is 38/maybe dead and Jokic is BPIL again.

Also fwiw looks like finally, mercilessly for OKC backers that Giddey won't start tonight and it'll be Wiggins.

Mike Malone is a top 3 nba coach. That's what being shown here by Denver.

Celtics play down to their competition like it’s their job.

Derrick White >>>> Tatum

The sides of the court need to be widened big time.

But it’ll never happen due to loss of premium ticket sales for those seats.

Joe starting over Giddey

still thinks thats wrong, would go Wiggins

Joe sucks on D

Cavs had heart. It's nice to see a lower seeded team in the East have heart

Horford with the 22-15-5 tonight

on that new balco

Giddey hitting a 3 was probably worth 10 pts to dallas

Half of their normal rotation decided to sit this one out.

dallas has proven to clearly be the better team last 4 games

but OKC coaching in rd 2 of a playoff series is as bad as i can remember, dude was mashing buttons with rotation all series

when was the last time a #1 seed got to this point in the season and still didn't have their rotation or even starting lineup figured (barring injuries)? and okc don't even have any injuries lol

Jokic took it personal …
