BIG win. But bad karma, multiple injuries.
It will be really tough next round.

Nah, Wolves are playing with house money the rest of the way. It was going to be hard even before the injuries. You play the teams in front of you.

On the final day of the season, Denver had a pivotal game against the Spurs, where if they won, they secured the third seed and consequently a series against the Wolves, but if they’d lost, they would’ve dropped to the 4th seed and gotten matched up against Houston. Denver chose to win and take the match up against the Wolves because they thought Wolves+Spurs was an easier path than having to face OKC in the second round, which they would’ve done if they had lost on the final day, dropped to 4th and won the series against the Rockets. So Chris Finch is saying the Nuggets believed the Wolves path was an easier choice, which is why they had to work hard to prove them wrong. Hope this helps!

And if Denver lost to the Spurs, Finch will say the Nuggets are cowards for avoiding his thugs. Your obsession with the Nuggets is unbelievable.

The Nuggets have zero defense. (D)ENVER NUGGETS. The D is silent 😂

That “they chose us” narrative is so stupid. The Nuggets playing like they did in this series would’ve lost against Houston as well anyways.
You try to play and win every match-up, intentionally losing games is peak loser mentality. Minnesota was just better over 6 games.

Hopefully Finch’s eyes are open now to the depth of his team. Really need to compete for a title next season.

You are missing a superstar and an all-star caliber player and you still win, it is good coaching.

No Finch. LA chose Houston so Denver got the 3rd seed instead of LA. They didn’t choose you.

Nuggets choose the Spurs path than OKC but got eliminated by wolves😂
