If we can survive this series beating Minnesota may be the toughest series in the west Over the course of a series our decision making will beat out Minnesota's. No question in my mind.

That’s a fact. Kat is such a low iq player. Ant is young, but can go on a heater. Jokic owns gobert. If our guards can stand up to their length, I like our chances

Jaden McDaniels shadow boxing a brick wall and breaking his hand right before the Nugget series will never not be funny.

Phoenix Bums will be done in 4, max 5. It's unfair how good Jaden McDaniels is on both ends of the floor as a role player, and to have NWA, his lesser version behind is such a luxury. Like it or not, Wolves are the deepest team in the NBA this year in my opinion. But there is no way in hell they can keep this roster moving forward. Gotta go thru them somehow and it will be minimum 6 or even 7 games toss up series imo in the 2nd round.

Thank goodness we got the home court advantage over the Wolves, because I think we may need it. Wolves could win their series in 4 or 5 now that Grayson Allen is out. We might still have a long and grueling series with Lakers (I expect we lose Game 3 Thursday). Wolves are the one WC team that I fear could upend our championship hopes.

Our advantage over Minnesota in the clutch is so vast that I think it'll be very tough for them to overcome.
Still, it'd be a brutal series.

remember, we washed the Suns in Denver this time last year. they came back and swept their home games and made us sweat, with Booker being literally unstoppable in G3. this series is by no means over. Minny did what they're supposed to do.

Minny did what they're supposed to do. Bums do not have the point guard and Wolves are more than equiped to contain all 3 of their stars with young athlethic PoA defenders and have Gobert roam in the paint. As good as we were last year we were miles away on defensive end compared to this Wolves team. They got blown away in game 2 with Ant having god awful game. Bums with 19 turnovers and nothing is easy for their stars on every possession. I hope that somehow this series goes 6 or 7 and they kill eachother but i doubt that Bums have the menality and leadership to pull it off. They are all bunch of frontrunners.

well, let's see how the Tpups handle adversity first. they're great defensively but I don't believe they have the bbiq or maturity to win two straight road games against a team of elite iso scorers.

Cat,Ant and Vagina can go up and down and can be exploited mentaly but old man Conley and Jaden McDaniels especially (who i would LOVE to have as a Nugget) are the ones that scare me the most. I would give KCP,Strawther and 2 first round picks for Jaden McDaniels in a second how much i like that kid and how well he would fit with us long term.

So anyone want to pick a home team to finally lose one tonight? Mavs @ Clips (Kawhi questionable, but was at shootaround) Pacers @ Bucks (Giannis doubtful, improving but not expected to play) Suns @ Wolves (Grayson Allen for Suns, Kyle Anderson for Wolves both game time decisions) I'll pick Doc Rivers lol. He always does mission impossible

Agreed. This series isn’t over at all. One lakers win and the entire momentum will shift. Game 4 then becomes must win But I am getting 2021 vibes from this playoffs. Beating a rival only to face with a much tougher team in round 2 who we don’t match up well at all.

Gotta finish off LA first, but that darn Minny series just seems destined for a 7 game series.
I’ll trust the Nuggets’ experience in the clutch and in game 7s to edge out the Timberwolves in one of those typical, ugly game 7s. Like a 98-94 type game.
I also feel like the Thunder will be in a 7 game series too.
In Denver we trust.

Their defense is made to punish iso scorers. Phx needs to drive and dish and put pressure on the rim to be effective. You want to see immaturity? Watch Devin Booker when things don’t go his way. Phoenix is not winning this series. Hopefully they make the wolves sweat a little though. Btw…Beal is not an elite iso scorer anymore. Just isn’t.

Fami to me is like the embodiment of america Fami is a good representation of the 25% of America that is “woke” and sanctimonious about it. (Note: insert fami coming in to give us a moral superiority post about how the woke movement isn’t real, America is corrupt, and he won’t participate in any movement, even tho he’ll always vote for the liberal)
