2023 Wolves

I hope the refs dont do a 180 call a foul on every little thing tonight but have a funny feeling they will. Ya I watched it to and didnt hear that part.

KD has been the leader of a team for exactly x0 rings.

If that was legitimate, I’m sure the Wolves front office knows better.

Let ANT feast on these other “stars” on his own.

Bucky yeah I was suspecting it wasn’t real so I’m sure someone created it with AI. He was very complimentary about his teammates in the video I posted. I’ve never seen someone blast their teammates like before so was very surprised when I watched it

I think we will see right away in the first quarter how the refs are planning to officiate this one. I hope our guys are ready to adjust? Sweeps in the playoffs do not translate to making money for the league.

Denver came to play. Wolves missing easy bunnies and Denver can’t miss anything. Its a game of runs and hopefully Wolves get on one to end the half

i won’t blame the refs. nuggz couldn’t miss which is not sustainable. wolves were not physical enough. fans were not even able to help out.

we are onto game 4. Sunday better be a different story now that they let Denver back in it.

Ugly.

Denver on the Moneyline might have been the best $75 I’ve spent in a long time. That was the easiest $105 a guy could make.

The champs weren’t going to go down 3-0, nor did the NBA want to see another sweep. I still love ANT, but some of the hoopla is excessive as shown by his 19 points at home. I’ll probably stay away from game 4 bets…mainly because I will be working on something and too busy to watch it anyways.

Hardly looked like the same 2 teams! But there was no way the Wolves were sweeping their way to the ship, there was gonna be a loss and adversity along the way. Now let’s see if they respond like champs or chumps.

They missed every shot and Denver hit nearly every one of theirs. Terrible game, better bounce back tomorrow.

this will go 7 and I hope the wolves prevail. anyone calling a sweep is delusional. it is weird about 2 blowouts but nothing new. they will punish Denver tomorrow after getting complacent. they just have to play smart and stand their ground.

NY is getting pounded! Just can’t like that team.

Jamal Murray clearly righted the ship after games 1 & 2. He just drained a buzzer beater from distance before half.

Good lord what a disastrous final 3 seconds…

no punishment so far sadly. once again Denver can’t miss a shot even when they play tight D on em? they got to be shooting close to 70%? if that is sustainable, then nobody will beat em.

may as well just start shooting from anywhere like Denver

Rudy been a non factor. If he don’t step up, Naz better get in

Denver just refuses to let the Wolves back into the game… we cut it to 9 and Joker comes down and gets a 3 point play… we cut it to 10 and their bench guy drills a 3… sob

Jokic is a magician and an MVP. He never has bad games. no home team has won yet so there is still hope?

Ok, we punched them in the mouth and then they did the same to us… best of 3…

Thank goodness we are going back to Denver

Joker is better than Rudy and KAT combined, and that’s the real issue. And that frantic team defense from the first 6 playoff games has gone AWOL, Finch and the Coaches had no answers last year and don’t again this year. At least thus far. Ant going superhuman might be able to save them, or fouls/injury to Jokic. Otherwise they aren’t going to make it out of this without a return of their defense.

9 missed free throws and the 8 point swing in the final 15 seconds of the first half… too much to overcome…

It was a good game, but we were chasing all night after the first 5 minutes if the game…

We won the 2nd half but the 2nd quarter really hurt. Denver has just not missed many shots the last two games. They have been on fire actually. Really didn’t want to let them back in the series but we just did.

that is all

KAT is just not that good. He’s not consistent enough to be the #2 scoring option on a title team, especially considering his defense. When Gobert is out of the game as a second line of defense, the guys KAT is attempting to defend go off. If Aaron Gordon (as Denver’s 4th highest scorer on the season) goes for 27 points you are going to lose. Period.

A lot of ANT’s work last night amounted in points for him, but left the others to try and create their own shots…which IMO is the team’s weakness. The Wolves are best when ANT is scoring ~30 points while creating for others. If he gets 50 in game 5, I could still see them losing. KAT’s version of “creating his own shot” is just stepping back further from the hoop and letting dumb 3’s fly early in the shot clock.

If Gordons mop on his head dont get in his way and he misses a few shots we will be cooked.

The late part of the second quarter is what killed them. THey were down 5 sat a bunch of starters and then it ballooned to 15 in like 2 minutes.

so many downers everywhere which is understandable but it is now a 3 game series. i think MN sports fans are conditioned to assume failure is inevitable or they got PTSD? i try to stay positive but its always at the back of your mind.

i said it before that the 2 teams that would give them problems in a 7 game series are Denver and Boston and here we are. very strange that home court means absolutely nothing in this series anyway?

Ant needs help and is not getting any last 2 games. Kat is showing over and over how dumb he is but you can’t fix that so maybe he gets less minutes? problem now is Rudy looks like he is totally out of it after the birth of his kid so there better be a heavy dose of Naz tomorrow.

if Denver keeps shooting like they did last 2 games, may as well pack it up and plan their summer vacations. i think it should be back to what got em there and that was defense. as far a Jokic, you may as well let him do what he wants because he is the 3 time MVP and is unstoppable anyway. take away everyone else as best you can.

I bet my kid Wolves in 6. I’m still alive.
