    Wolves Dethrone Nuggets in Best of 7
    Minny has taken a significant leap forward this year while the Nuggets have more or less stayed the same and I'd argue less because they don't have Bruce Brown as their 6th man phenom. Wolves have the interior defense to give DEN problems and have a good mix of veteran savvy and spring chickens. Also doesn't hurt that they have Michael Jordan's illegitimate son, Ant Man.

    Wolves series +172

      Even if the Nuggets win you'll still be a virgin so what difference does it make?

        How is the coach ?

        Will he be on the sidelines ?

        I think it makes a difference

              T-Wolves have a long way to go

              Jokic has some things to figure out though... quit being passive 5 possessions in a row and just tossing the ball to bums to shoot open 3's as soon as a second defender comes to him

                It was a close game until the end. I think this will be a tough fought series going forward. Probably go to 7 if I had to guess. Nuggets win the next game.

                  Nuggets getting fried... No gobert and g2 at home after a lose and down 30 at half. It's tough for teams to repeat but didn't think they would lose like this, this early.

                        TWolves defense is elite. They can get through Jokic's wide body and still defend Murray. Once you take that away what else does the Nuggets really have offensively? Looking like break out the brooms.

                              Bye Bye Nuggets. They are getting dominated. This series is probably over. A bit shocking to see. Twolves are pretty damn good.

                                  Their defense is incredible

                                  Gobert didn't even play Game 2 and they've completely shut down Denver

                                    Lakers wore out Denver. LOL..

                                    Actually you are correct. Twolves D is pretty solid.

                                    Charles Barkely was saying they have the best defense he's ever seen.. That's laughable as he forgot playing against the Detroit Pistons with Dennis Rodman and the Michael Jordan lead championship Bulls teams.

                                        they blew it. road team streak ends in game 5 and then the pressure gets to them again in game 6 with KAT probably shooting 25% again

                                          NBA today is just psycho, a team destroys one game then gets destroyed in the next. Never seen anything like it, even back in the late 70's when there were no dominant teams.

                                              Look no further than the Memorial Day massacre in 1985. Boston beat the Lakers by 30 and went on to lose the Series 4-2.

                                                T'Wolves remind me of those KD/ Westbrick Thunder teams with Ibaka & Perkins on the backline and Sefo' the designated perimeter defender. Great defense to offense. Can't stop Jokic though, and that's ultimately going to do them in.

                                                  really poorly timed turnovers from the Wolves

                                                  that was one iffy thing I noticed from them randomly throughout the regular season... even at home if it was close late they would fall apart on offense or just play DUMB

                                                  the game KAT scored 50+ at the end they fell behind and of course since it was "his night" they forced the ball to him and he was surrounded and he didn't care and still forced up a shot and there was a foul but the refs took advantage of the wolves falling apart late and didn't call it and they lost... it was to a BAD team maybe the Pistons

                                                  who cares if it's his night... give the ball to Edwards

                                                        G5 nuggets up by 4 late 2Q as i type this.

                                                        basically a must-win for T Wolves here.

                                                        they ain't winning a G7 against this team at this venue.

                                                            that was one iffy thing I noticed from them randomly throughout the regular season... even at home if it was close late they would fall apart on offense or just play DUMB

                                                            the game KAT scored 50+ at the end they fell behind and of course since it was "his night" they forced the ball to him and he was surrounded and he didn't care and still forced up a shot and there was a foul but the refs took advantage of the wolves falling apart late and didn't call it and they lost... it was to a BAD team maybe the Pistons

                                                            who cares if it's his night... give the ball to Edwards

                                                              why do you just hold the ball till you are doubled and not in motion? then pass it to bums to miss shots and have no chance to win

                                                              this kid has a long way to go

                                                              Murray and Porter didn't even do anything and this team folded to 1 player.... amazing! Porter 6 pts and Murray padded his 10 points to 16 at the very end

                                                              props to Gordon
