Hopefully it goes to 7 games it's a good series when teams don't like each other lol
The boos when Mcdaniels is holding the ball 🤣
Putting McDaniels with Jokic on the thumbnail is nasty work 😂
The Nuggets came out and played with a sense of urgency knowing that they needed to win to stay alive in the playoffs. The T’Wolves are dealing with injuries to 3 of their most important players, 2 came off the bench
Jaden McDaniels is shooting 7 percent from 3 this series he need to stop taking 3s a this point
Christian Braun dunk and then point at Mcdaniels still on the rim was 🔥🔥
If spencer jones and cam johnson keep on playing like this. Nuggets can win the series
Jamal Murry look like a troll doll with that hair. 🤣
The Nuggets overcame two 3-1 deficits in 2020 btw
I hope the Nuggets win man, Jaden proved his point but I need to see Wemby vs Jokic in a game 7 series 🥶 Sucks Donte and Edwards got injured.
Nuggs in 7 I still got faith 🤞🏾🏹
The 3-1 come back starts
Timberwolves with 25 TO is tough to overcome.
We got strong dunks from Jokic, Murray, Johnson, Jones, Braun, and Brown. We are so back.
Nuggets in 7.. there's blood in the water 🦈🦈🦈
This was the game I was expecting Denver to have after the McDaniels comments, but I'm glad we did eventually see it. You don't want to end your season looking the way they had been looking. Their defense was far better, but I have to say I do feel like Min's injuries played a role in this. Having 2 of their biggest offensive threats unavailable, even just the threat of Ant, made it easier to lock in on guys like Randle. But I loved that they never fully took the fight outta Min. They still almost came back, which showed that wolf heart. But shout out to Jokic for stepping up. I been on him and he's finally playing big. Better effort and better coaching in this game. They found better ways to manipulate Rudy in this one. Shout out to all of Denver's guys. They actually showed up. Had they played the way they played tonight from the start of the series, things might have been a lot different. Let's see if this same fight travels to Min for them, this is far more doable at home but they have the benefit of Ant and Donte being out (speedy recovery for both of you, especially Donte) which will definitely play a factor. Great game, though! This is why this was the series everyone was so infatuated with. I'm still rooting for the Wolves because I love guys like McDaniels and Desumu, but there is definitely signs of life from Denver.
wolves are done, nuggets got gifted this series with ant and donte going down. rip
If Denver lost to the wolves without Divencenzo and Ant then they really deserved to go out
Am I the only one noticing that part of the reason they won tonight is Jokic stopped taking layups since Gobert never gets called for fouling him on the layup? He bumps jokic from behind almost every time. The officiating on that has been terrible
Now I’m little scare for game 6 hope Nuggets force to game 7 back at home
