Man, Wolves can’t even get credit for a solid win. Everyone looking at “what’s wrong” with the Nuggets. How about the Wolves are a better team? I swear the Wolves could win the NBA Finals and still be the Rodney Dangerfield of the NBA. No respect!

It’s never been about Luka Doncic or Austin Reeves.
It’s always been about LeBron James.

I think denver got tired and you could tell the gsme was chaos and everyone running around. That style of game will always benefit the timberwolves. Denver needs to just slow down even more and use all 24 seconds on the shot clock every possession make or miss. They were being sped up because they were truing to force turnovers. Less dribbling, play slower on offense. Makes there less total possessions in the whole game for both teams which also limits the amount of possessions you need to defend for. If they play slower on offense itll be easier to defend and i think thats why dencer isnt worried. They know if they want to play slow try hard halfcourt basketball then Minnesota doesnt have many options to make them miss shots they nirmally make by making them tired

YOU CANT BE THE BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD IF YOU ARE YOUR TEAMS BIGGEST LIABILITY ON ONE SIDE OF THE BALL.

NBA didn’t kick out all the 7′ players yet, so Joker not dominating small forwards this series. But don’t worry white supremacy is all ways tweaking it’s system.

Why does espn have so many women talking heads? Does anyone actually listen to what they say about sports and take betting advice from them? Honest question. Maybe it’s just me but I can’t take them seriously

How on earth is it that when Jokic scores 30 no one on this show can shut up about his greatness and how he is the best player to touch a basketball and no one can compare to him. THEN we watch him play not bad offensively but be an absolute liability defensively I mean this dude couldn’t guard a street sign. Anyone and everyone was getting dunks in the paint and jokic is to afraid to foul so he just lets it happen. HOW IS THAT MVP WORTHY??? shouldn’t the mvps be on both ends of the floor I mean give jokic OPOY every season but MVP should be someone doing it on both ends every single game not afraid to block a shot. Aaron Gordon is the most valuable player on that team and it showed last night his defense is something no one else on that team can do.
