I’m so over sports now the timberwolves came out hot the first two games and exposed the nuggets they literally had the answers to beating this team and you mean to tell me they lost 3 games straight all of sudden and then in game 6 they back to doing the nuggets the same way they did them the first two games so they can force a game 7 all just to dress it up to make the nuggets win in game 7. There’s no authenticity in the game of sports anymore they put these organizations in the wrong type of hands now these games be tampered with and make them go in the direction that the big wigs want it to go. This is why I barely watch sports anymore. The timberwolves was literally about to sweep them at first. All of this just so they can make more money. Sports is literally built on politics these days

Flashing Game 7 with 8 minutes left in the 4th is like killing the enemy inside – its sending a message you cant beat. And coach Mike Malone just did the right thing.

The NBA is so rigged. Denver was clearly point shaving. As much as I want MJ 3.0 to move on in the playoffs, I’m sure the NBA and Refs make sure Denver wins on Sunday.

As a long time nuggets fan, I give the Timberwolves lots of respect how they been playing. I think Mavs vs. Wolves would be an intense series too.
