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. That suns series would have been a sweep had Murray not contracted Scottsdale-Ebola during those 2 games.

I’ve been worried about Minnesota since last year.
However - their conditioning is terrible. As long as they’re not up by 15 midway thru the 3rd quarter, then we win (it’s a lot like when we faced the clippers in the bubble).
I do hope phx can give them a series but I’m not holding my breath. PHX is just not a good team, and their weak points are getting exposed even worse right now.

Minnesota is clearly our biggest threat. No surprises there. Still a ton of time left in both series though.
I will take a victory lap though for Rudy all of a sudden not being a playoff liability (just like he wasn't last year) once he is surrounded by perimeter defenders who aren't terrible.

take a lap Ring.
but the Tpups are lucky they escaped the OKC/Mavs bracket. SGA, Kyrie and Luka would've hunted the switch and have him shaking and sliding like he was trying to walk on black ice.

fami's going to enjoy this. There's no way to argue that Minnesota/Dallas aren't the two biggest threats to the Nuggets. The T Wolves are obviously threat #1 due to their defense though and a much better bench.

Rested Boston is our biggest treat. We spent lots of energy chasing the seeding for nothing and that will come back with interest in that series if it doesn't come sooner

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) So you're pretty much just a clown 24 hours a day now, huh? How do you make time in between hunting for Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman's real killer and accusing basketball players you don't like of pedophilia? Do you, like, have interns trying to come up with the absolute dumbest thing to say in every possible context or does it just come naturally to you?

Over the course of a series our decision making will beat out Minnesota's. No question in my mind. Fami to me is like the embodiment of america Europe, North America, Australia. distinction without a difference. we're all complicit in genocide. we all forced the world to accept corporatism, neoliberalism and the petro-dollar by the barrel of the gun, which had the added benefit of destroying the one planet we have to work with. our imperialist and colonial wars killed millions and we've learned absolutely nothing from our horrid and obscene past. our "rules based order" only applies to our enemies.

Minnesota > Boston. The only difference is Boston is going to play like 14 games on their path to the finals.

I run a nationwide company that I started from nothing. You have to work for someone else in order to eat, fami. Nothing wrong with that - but you think you’re morally superior to everyone here - and you’re not. You will compromise your convictions in order to live. Me? I would rather starve. The proof - I work for myself. With that - I hope Best Buy lines up better lunch break benefits for you. YWDF!

It doesn't change the fact that you are an unending fountain of ludicrously stupid takes. Are you going to post your high school report cards next? Your incessant need to prove your worth to strangers online who've known for years you're a clownshoes idiot is sad.

I'll fear more Boston in the finals than TWolves in the second round. These are all good teams and small things will decide matchups. Rest factor is a huge thing and Boston, beside HC advantage will have a rest advantage. We could have prevented it if we didn't chase the seeding

the Jay's have played 7 complete seasons together and have yet to form an effective 2 man game. you're not winning anything in the NBA if your two best players are only capable of scoring in isolation.
