Nuggets. Sheesh.

The Nuggets straight up got their asses kicked by the TWolves last night. And that was without Gobbert. Can’t remember the last time I saw a defending champion look so bad. Embarrassing.

I thoroughly enjoyed TWolves dominating the game. I hope the Nuggets get swept.

Nuggets/Wolves

If you don’t like this series, you’re not a basketball fan.

The right player got the MVP this year. Jokic is just amazing. He loved going at Gobert.

Watching Jokic play is like watching Froome ride. Gets it done. But so ugly.

I don’t understand how 90% of those shots go in. Just does some awkward spin and flips it up like my 5 year old.

Totally disagree. One of my favorite players to watch. He just skewered the reigning DPOY. One of the best offensive players in history. Top five before he’s done if not already.

Jokic joined Chris Paul as the only players in @nbahistory with 40 points, 10 assists & 0 turnovers in the postseason.

I’m highly subjective on this, as I grew up in the Dr J, Magic, MJ era. Smooth, finesse, exciting, electrifying, and beautiful to watch. Opposite of the joker.

Jokic is a hybrid of Magic and Olajuwon minus the “D” of the latter and with an ability to hit the three that Magic lacked. Must see TV in my book.

An absolute curb stomping. I was casually checking the score and by the 4th quarter was dumbfounded.

Yes, that was quite the night to day change that occurred with the most recent two games.
I hope game 7 goes to 3 overtimes.

I watched until a few minutes into the 3rd quarter for signs of life. Horrid shooting and Nuggets were crushed in the boards. Lots of open shots missed early, esp by Booker. KAT stayed out of silly foul trouble and spent much more time in the paint at both ends.

We might get the Sunday Games 7 double dip!

Anyone have any thoughts on the two Game Sevens?

Hard to see Denver losing at home. Not sure about NY/Indy. Dallas should wrap things up.
