Nothing to Avenge Here! It’s Ant Man vs. Joker & The Suicide Squad: Official Timberwolves (#3) vs. Nuggets (#2) West Semifinals Thread

[Unbothered]

This was one of the most embarrassing losses by the Nuggets. Only put up 70 points and got blown out by Dayum near 50. Everybody was glazing Jokic off one game and acting like Murray hasn't been shyt for the majority of the postseason. Let's be honest most people thought it was a foregone conclusion Denver was going to win last night.

Low-key before last night, I had a thought in my mind that if Mike Conley played in game 5 who knows maybe the Wolves could've had a chance because his presence was missed in that game. I picked the Wolves in 7 and I believe they could win a game 7 on the road, nobody thought they'd win games 1 and 2 either. With the way Denver has been inconsistent, there's a very good chance they can lose Sunday night.

People keep bringing up the Nuggets being here (game 7 atmosphere) before but that was years ago ('20 bubble) with a completely and very different team with only 3 of those players (Murray, Jokic, and MPJ) remaining on the roster in which Murray had arguably his best postseason run, a stark difference compared to this year.

Denver is a weird team. Good enough to beat anyone by double digits but then they'll lay the most random eggs.

This is the current league. Probably more good teams than in recent memory but no more dominant super-teams.

To be honest, Denver is playing with their food. They should have ended this last night

The got smoked the 1st 2 games because the refs allowed minny to get at them defensively and Murray was hobbled.

Then the league gifted Denver with 2 blessings 1. They didn't suspend Murray when they should have and 2. 3 days rest that allowed Murray to get a ton of rest. Then Conley missed game 5. Plus early fouls on minny bigs hurt their momentum.

With that said I still have Denver in game 7 but with only 1 day rest and Murray back looking mediocre a scenario where jokic scores 45 and still loses can definitely happen. Especially if Anthony Edwards has a signature game for his legacy.

NAH BREAUGH
YOU CANT SAY SOMEONE
IS PLAYING WITH THEIR FOOD
WHEN THEY LOSE BY 45 PTS

[CHICAGO]

Game 4: Scored 12 of 27 points when guarded by Gobert, most of which was when Gobert had to collapse on other players at the rim.

Game 2: Scored 0 of 20 points when guarded by Gobert.

Game 5: Scored 2 of 18 points when guarded by Gobert.



Those were the only 3 games this series where Gordon balled out. Since you watch the games, you can tell us which two games you were talking about.

WHEN YOU DONT WATCH GAMES
AND LOOK AT HIGHLIGHTS
YOU DONT EVEN REALIZE GORDON
BEGAN BRINGING THE BALL UP IN GM 3
AND INITIALIZING THE OFFENSE
WHICH CHANGED THE WHOLE SERIES

We're still waiting for you to list the games he "balled out because Gobert was guarding him". You said there were a couple. Don't change your story now.

 

[CHICAGO]

Game 1: +12 with Gobert, -5 without him
Game 3: -10 with Gobert, -17 without him
Game 4: +9 with Gobert, -17 without him
Game 5, -2 with Gobert, -13 without him
Game 6, +30 with Gobert, +15 without him

THIS MAY BE THE WORST POST
IVE EVER SEEN.

DO YOU EVER WATCH GAMES
OR ARE YOU STILL PRETENDING
TO BE OVERSEAS?

Richard Jefferson's bias in favor of the Nuggets and Jokic in a 50 point blowout was




jesus christ, he was almost as bad as Timothy Bradley's boxing commentary. Like it's plainly obvious he's a company man and the company gave him his marching orders on who they want to win




anyways, gave this shyt back to NBC keep it to them two, TNT, and Amazon, cuz ESPN/ABC coverage is

 

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

Plus/Minus is such a fraudulent way to judge someone’s impact on the game. It’s for casuals

Aaron Gordon did start bringing up the ball and they were intentionally putting Gobert in PnR action almost every play.

Gobert played his best game last night on both ends, and his effort level when it came to rebounding was much better. Using plus/minus to pretend he was playing well up until last night is silly. I’m sure he would tell you himself he wasn’t playing that well
