    Except that Denver just comes back and now they lead 30-27. They are resilient and they adjust.

    How strange?
    A team that can match and even exceed Denver’s length is giving them fits.
    Where have I seen this before?

    Murray still didn't score in middle of second quarter.I don't think he goes for 30 + points

    Nuggets been getting ticky tack calls but allowed to rake guys across the arm. Looking about as legitimate as the Heat vs Mavs finals when you weren’t allowed to look at Wade.

    Jokic pushes every trip to the basket. Should be already in foul trouble.And Murray still scoreless.
    But Ant with 25 points basically himself keeps Minnesota in the game.

    I see nothing in this first half that tells me the Nuggets won’t win. They’re getting all the calls, Ant got smashed across the arms by KCP and got no call. Jokic is shooting over Gobert like he’s not even there. Murray hasn’t even scored yet and they’re still up 4 at halftime, we played them way better than this. If we didn’t have a moron coach and just one player that could box out besides AD we probably would have beat them. Nuggets win this in 6 at most.

    Wolves-Thunder WCF would be so awesome. Probably won't happen though. I still see Nuggets winning this.

    Why isn’t that an offensive foul by Murray on that three- kicking his legs forward?
    It is for just about every other player in the League.
    Bullsh$t officiating.

    Well, things did not go like this when we played them. This is over, Wolves take HCA.

    Ant with 39 points.

    Edwards is so fun to watch, I would not mind if this Minny team wins it all, but they have a long way to go, it’s 1 game against the defending champs. Having Towns, Gobert, and Reid to use on Jokic is a nice luxury though. Still, Nuggets in 5.

    Ant 43 points, Murray barely can walk for 3 quarters and Jokic with almost triple double

    I think MN is the real deal against Denver if they can stay healthy, match up well with them with their even bigger size plus Big bodies to throw at Jokic and Ant seems to be in process of arriving on the biggest stage this year’s playoffs as a genuine superstar who can dominate a series.
