We don’t look like that team this postseason. Maybe things will change but between injuries, sloppiness, a lack of fire, and strange rotations by Malone I am not optimistic we make it 6 games deep. I certainly hope for a surprise like the Avs have delivered against the Jets though.

Becoming a superstar right in front of our eyes, sometimes I still can’t believe he’s a Timberwolf. I feel like playing for Team USA this summer is really going to help his game too.

Not sure I’ll live to see it though, the way this Denver series is going to take years off my life…

@flannel-slut @october-rust
That was a hell of a game! Wolves came out hyper energized and just looked so hungry. It was awesome to see Jackson light it up like that though to get the nuggets back in the game.
AE just brought the heat though.
All in all, it was a stellar performance on both sides. Nugs bench kept them in the fight. Tomorrow got me nervous.

We need Murray to stay out of whatever funk he was in first half to have a shot. MPJ is playing out of his mind but all great things come to an end. Hopefully we pick the split tonight and make this a series!

[Mizmazzle]

I agree! Murray needs to get his game face back on if we are going to have a chance. Jokic needs to step up to MVP status and be a super hero. MPJ, that guy is fueling his game with overwhelming personal tragedy...Need a W tonight to keep the fight alive!

[mclaincausey]

I’ll be doing my part tonight. Hattie was so crestfallen that she couldn’t come to a game with a friend and me that overwhelming guilt let to a playoff game family night

[Mizmazzle]

@mclaincausey hell yea dude!!

[mclaincausey]

[Mizmazzle]

@mclaincausey love it!!
Really hope the nugs can control their frustration better. It’s getting the best of them.

[mclaincausey]

@Mizmazzle they’re just completely outclassed. The length and effort of the Wolves is a problem.

[october rust]

Man, I’m not going to come on here and talk shit because I still think the series goes to 6 or even 7, but I can’t believe this is my Timberwolves team. Minnesotans aren’t used to having anything this good when it comes to sports.

@mclaincausey Start them early. Have you taken her to an Avs game yet? Hockey is by far my favourite sport to follow

[mclaincausey]

@Tago-Mago of course! Hockey is my favorite team sport perhaps save for motor racing. I go to Denver University (reining champs and winningest Division I program) and Avs games regularly.

The Stars are also a tough matchup but I said that about the Jets too, so hoping we can look like the Wolves in this one.

[Mizmazzle]

@october-rust you’ve got a team to be proud of man!! They’ve taken a juggernaut in the Nuggets and reduced them to infantile play by comparison.

[Eza]

What about the WNBA?

[Tago Mago]

@mclaincausey out of respect for your well-reasoned aversion to upvotes I will refrain from giving you one even though I want to

[mclaincausey]

lol no skin off my back either way. Go Avs!

[mclaincausey]

Congrats to Jokič for MVP #3.

Not to denigrate his amazing teammates, but he’s done it playing a team game without the kind of surrounding talent of other MVPs

[Mizmazzle]

Hope this MVP gives the team a spark. Sadly, sounds like there is a lot of internal strife that is coming out in the media about the discord of the team. Not to mention Murray acting like a spoiled child who had his lollipop taken away and throwing shit on the court.
