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

    sorry you made the choice…..i have seen it all in like 35 years so maybe it pans out but not likely? never get too high or too low

    Ant cannot be the only one that scores. KAT has been doing nothing. Gobert hasnt been special either end of the court. Their defense has disappeared too which is killing them.

    If rudy starts 2nd half over Naz I’m going to bed. Dude turned into a bitch after missing a game. If you wanna be home with your new baby I get it but give your salary back and leave. MF ers make more in 3 or 4 minutes of a game then most of us make in a year.

    If you divide his salary by minutes of regular season it’s over 10k a minute if he plays or not.

    Now let’s see if they respond like champs or chumps.

    Looking like Chumps at this point. Rudy should return all 4 DPOY trophies, because he is ducking Joker and getting schooled by him when forced to D him up. The effort level on defense is gone, just not even remotely close to the first 2 games. And the coaches have no answers, and KAT is back to stupid fouls and whining. Ant going superhuman is about the only way I see this going 7.

    We woke the beast… Denver is just really friggin good… they have answers for anything, it just took them 2 games of poor shooting to wake up and figure out how to solve what the Wolves were doing…as mentioned, it will likely take a super human Ant effort to win game 6 and then anything can happen in a game 7, you just gotta get to game 7…

    They are done, nice run but in typical MN fashion they lead us on then just dump it.

    They are in Big trouble now for sure. I just don’t understand how you can have such big swings from one game to the next. They go from winning by 26 to losing by 27. Ant goes from scoring 44 one night and backs it up with only 18 the next game – WHY ???? I think not having Conley really hurt them last night. Sure hope he can return for Game 6 and that ANT can have a huge game, If not I believe their season is done.

    Jokic is superhuman. Maybe one of the greatest of all time when its all said and done? Rudy played him pretty good and he just got roasted anyway. You try and contest his shots, he dumps a pass over, under, behind his head, with his head it just don’t matter. Denver D was also flying around like their hair was on fire.

    Maybe the refs let them win game 6 just so they get another paycheck for game 7?

    Man… I really didn’t think we would lose 3 straight. If Denver keeps playing like this they will easily win another championship. Jokic is almost unbeatable when he is on. Hopefully Finch and the boys have something special lined up for tonight and take it another game.

    Yeah I too thought there would be a lot more effort by the wolves for game 5 very disappointing. Didnt necessarily expect them to win, but at least have some pushback.

    Pretty crazy how this series has swung. Shut them down the first 2 games and have looked totally powerless in stopping them the last 3 games. Wolves could really use another scorer, Towns is just too mercurial. Ant is a beast but is going to need a sidekick to get it done just like all the great ones did. Jokic is fun to watch, even though it is coming at our expense.

    Something (a corrupt league and refs I suspect) has me thinking they might actually win tonight to push it to 7.

    Trying to not get too excited but they are killing them. KAT is handling the joker, Ant is Ant, big jelly coming up big and our defense is BACK. Don’t let us down Wolves!

    looks like they are playing a lot of zone so he is just the last line of defense and not trying to get burned by backcuts?

    Wolves def kicked the hornets nest. Nuggz look immortal but its the fkn champs and if they don’t step on their throat in the second half, it will not end well. Its a game of runs, don’t be on the wrong end

    This is the only way to contain Jokic. Push him out of they paint and try to keep him there. Rudy does not travel well outside so its up to Karl and Naz to try their best. He will get his, just can’t let him abuse you once he gets close. His IQ is off the charts.

    I’m very impressed by the defense by KAT so far. Doing a great job but 3 fouls!

    he is more talented than he is smart. i have been waiting for him to grow out of it for years…..i am convinced he will never figure it out?

    I’m not able to watch the game so can’t comment on it but looking at the box score, Denver shooting just over 30 percent, big difference from the last two games when they shot around 60.
    This because of good D or just shooting urine poor?
