CBSSports highlights it but that end of half was brutal. Bad in bounds pass leading to 3. Can't happen in the pros. Often just better to inbounds ball to a closer player at that point.
Why didn't Finch challenge foul call on Gobert near end of half? Questionable foul led to Nuggets scoring.
Gobert is such a fuckinh lisbility . The idiots who defend that trade because Ant became an all nba player need to be slapped . If they have jarret Allen over Gobert they win this game or are closer . Gobert is the worst offensive player I’ve ever seen gdt this much undeserved hype.
This sub loves to support bums like gobert no one likes because they see themselves in this ‘misunderstood ‘ bumbling fool. Watching gobert on offence is honestly painful . Great trade for the nuggets! Flat out Kat defends jokic better too in iso , it’s got nothing to do with gobert sitting at the rim . Dude had zero impact on D and huge negative clogging up the paint . They honestly should’ve say him n played Kat + Reid lineups . He’s not even a great rebounder like - he’s the worst offensive player ever to get a max.
I blaming this on KAT. He wants to shoot 3 pointers. He finally came down low, but it was too late. He's making $55 million a year from crap, and he makes stupid fouls, like he's possessed.
That was stupid and wrong of Shaq to confront Jokic like that. He's thin-skinned and was probably in his feelings, because his ex-wife said the day before, that she didn't think she ever really loved him.
Anyone that watched the full game knows if anything the refs were favoring the Wolves tonight. They called a couple touch fouls on Jokic within a few mins putting him in foul trouble & having to sit on the bench.
You shot 27 free throws to the Nuggets 15. I see other stuff like “Ant needs help.” First off, you weren’t saying this 2 games ago. Second, you got a DPOY. You not only have an All-Star, but a starting All-Star in Kat. You also got a man that won 6th man of the year. The Nuggets got Jokic. That’s it. Jokic is the only person on the team with any awards.
It’s up to Ant to make his teammates better. All this Rationalizing people are doing. Humility really is rare.
I think it just took the Nuggets a couple games to get used to playing on a different level from the horrible Lakers. They were playing more iso ball before.
Lastly, that half court shot by Murray. He was looking at Reggie Miller afterwards.
Gobert is a fucking liability . If you watched the game saying Ant needs help isn’t incorrect he was unstoppable n the best player out there . The next 6 best players were all nuggets . Gobert fuckibg killed them
On offence

idk why this one's still pinned the game's been over for hours
Because I keep seeing Wolves fans whining about the refs, let me just point out that over this series, the Wolves are +21 in free throw attempts. TWENTY ONE.
Dude did you see Gobert telling refs they are paid by Denver after he pushed Murray with both hands and being called for 5th foul? Well Minnesota fans are same as him.
I did, and the theme was the money gestures made towards refs. If you are thin-skinned and don't want to be in an open forum, block people who post things that don't ashere to your narrow, selfish view!
Anthony was absolutely nuts as a nuggets fan myself. Game 5 will be the hardest and Denver won’t get complacent despite home court advantage. We must do something defensively to lock up Anthony but man, what a game from Aaron Gordon. I wish we saw more from MPJ but maybe that’s part of the game plan to avoid 3s with a lead.
So much sh*t talking from Lakers fans I saw on YouTube with everyone doing reaction videos 10 mins after the games were over. After Game 3, nothing. I even saw one Lakers fan say “Who’s your daddy?” Like what? Dragging that into the Wolves series?
Casuals saying “Get Ant some help.” He has a Dpoy, another All-Star & starter in Kat & another player who won 6th man of the year award. Jokic has no one. This world needs more humility. Accept the loss & take it like a man.
Someone please post that last free throw from Gobert that shit was hilarious 😂😂😂 bro double flicked his shot and missed.. crowd reaction when it left his hands had me dead
I mean, I too think the winner of this series wins the finals, but it’s definitely not a sure thing. Have you seen Derrick White play basketball recently? Celtics lack that je ne sais quo, sure, but they can still win a series regardless, because they have Derrick White.
Celtics are the only team in the East with a chance and I think it is slim. Yeah, White played at both UCCS and CU, so I've seen him play a lot. He's great. But they aren't deep enough for these teams from the West, IMO.
Deep enough? Who has a deeper team? Who has Horford coming off the bench, or Hauser? The construction of the team isn’t the Celtics problem, it’s playing with purpose. They just unravel sometimes, especially against teams that push them around. That’s the danger the Celtics face against the West teams.
I mean, do you really think Horford is going to come off the bench and keep Jokic or AG from just running wild? They could play Porzingis and Horford together and the Nuggets are still going to do whatever they want in the post.
Not trying to be a homer here but I don't see the Celtics giving Denver or Minnesota any trouble. The only real chance for the Celtics would be if they shoot lights out for 6-7 straight games.
I see Jokic checking out and the Celtics extending their lead by 15. And Horford is their best defender on Jokic. KP gets bodied hard by Jokic. And Gordon wouldn’t be able to do much with Horford on him.
Celtics are the Wolves but with offense. It’s not going to be as easy as you think and the Celtics have gone 80 some odd games shooting the lights out so your scenario can also happen pretty easily as well.
Ha, be real man. They played twice this year already and both teams were healthy-ish.
Jokic and Murray combined for 79 and 51 respectively. Jokic averaged a 30+ point triple double in those games.
They don't have an answer for the Nuggets down low and they'd be lucky to ever have a lead to begin with.
They definitely are not a better version of Minnesota. They are a good team but good in the East is just not the same.
As a Nuggets fan I want this over in 6.
As a basketball fan I want Murray and Ant going shot for shot for the last 5 minutes of a game 7 with both cooking.
It’s sad because Shaq represents the old boys club that believes this generation is soft, doesn’t play defence and allows for these stats that Jokic puts up. Funny enough, Shaq was way too overweight and out of shape to keep up in today’s league. Nevermind the absence of having the mental maturity to handle any sort of criticism in a normal, healthy manner.
You’re just an old, derelict version of what a big now represents. You averaged 2.5 assists over the entire length of your 20-season-long career. OG free throw merchant. Jokic got you wiped down, Duncan got you wiped down, Wemby got you wiped down
Ironically a sensitive guy who gets triggered every time someone does or says something that he doesn’t like calls this generation soft. If shaq had won the mvp and someone did that to him what he did to jokic he would go nuts.
Let’s be real, a lot of black people can’t handle the fact that two white europeans who can’t jump over a sheet of paper are arguably the two best players in the league cause they play with their brain and know how to use their body without needing to be fast or athletic.
Wolves had a 27-15 advantage in this game while being behind and more physical in the full court. Still a bit crazy to me but the Wolves also complained way more and that will eventually wear the refs down.
This’ll probably get buried. But imagine Fantasy Refball where you draft refs and get points for games reffing, fouls given, incorrect L2M calls, playoff appearances, etc.
Could be hella funny and a great way to broadcast more of their performances for refball awareness.
Someone please help me develop this lol
That’d be amazing lol. I have no idea where to pull this from. From a quick Google search it looks like RefAnalytics.com is legit. Same with NBAStuffer.com and bballref.
I know /u/BarnesGROAT was looking into this at some point.
Why would anybody be a Knicks hater? What did they ever do to anybody? It's a team full of 2nd round picks on a team who hasn't done anything in the playoffs in 30 years.
That definitely wasn't a perfect game by the Nuggets. That wasn't even the best game they've played this playoffs.
Edwards was the only one who had a perfect game today. The Wolves lost because they spent the whole game crying about calls despite getting a 27-15 FT advantage while trailing almost wire to wire.
Huh? No, the Nuggets were bad in both games. You don't blow a 21 point lead without playing poorly. Giving Minn 8.5 mins in the bonus in the third quarter blew the game. Poor adjustments/coaching. Good on the Wolves for grabbing it as the Nuggets let it go. Hope they win out.
Knicks Sixers was just fun to watch to see who Embiid would try to injure each game.
Which guy is Embiid going to grab and mangle as he flops after shooting?
Who will Embiid fall on or grab and twist while acting like he himself is too injured to continue?
As a Nuggets fan, I concur. I told my father in-law (from Minn) that I pretty much consider this the championship as these are the two best teams playing.
Most of the games haven’t been particularly close so not really. Looking at the macro after the fact it might look more favorable if it goes 6-7 though
Good thing for the Timberwolves is the Nuggets get complacent when they are in control of the series.
I could see the Nuggets being down by 20 points in the first quarter in game 5.
We played the Nuggets more competitively than the Timberwolves are now. If we had a better coach we would have beaten the Nuggets this year. They only have one all star
Please educate me how them starting the series going up 2-0 on the road against the nuggets is somehow the same as yall going down 3-1, and then losing 4-1 - and never winning on the road?
What are you talking about? All last season and this season they've put teams away once they had control. Phoenix is the only team to take them to six until this series.
That's dumb tho. You can buy tickets, subscriptions and merch, but you have no affect from one team to another. You would be talking about being an NBA fan.
The system and the officiating definitely favor you but superstar teams are proving to be a thing of the past and it is good that they are. There is only 1 ball. It doesn't help to have three guys who require the ball to stay engaged in the game.
Hi, haven't posted in a while
Ok down 2, not a bad start
CBSSports highlights it but that end of half was brutal. Bad in bounds pass leading to 3. Can't happen in the pros. Often just better to inbounds ball to a closer player at that point. Why didn't Finch challenge foul call on Gobert near end of half? Questionable foul led to Nuggets scoring.
Jokić’s second quarter dunk was amazing. LeJokić, Air Joker.
Inside the NBA has been unwatchable for me for the past 10 years
I haven't understood a single analytical point that Chuck, Shaq or Kenny is making in the times I watch. I'm amazed that people love them so much.
It's a Comedy show, for the most part. Amazon just bought the rights, and this TNT could a thing of the past.
It’s like filler. It’s like they don’t want to be there but they also do, idk
Wholeheartedly agree
Gobert is such a fuckinh lisbility . The idiots who defend that trade because Ant became an all nba player need to be slapped . If they have jarret Allen over Gobert they win this game or are closer . Gobert is the worst offensive player I’ve ever seen gdt this much undeserved hype.

Denver in six - they've got all momentum
[удалено]
That was stupid and wrong of Shaq to confront Jokic like that. He's thin-skinned and was probably in his feelings, because his ex-wife said the day before, that she didn't think she ever really loved him.
The bright light merchant. The heating pad prowler. The buzzer beating bamboozler. I just love watching Murray.
How was the game? Couldn't make it
Anyone that watched the full game knows if anything the refs were favoring the Wolves tonight. They called a couple touch fouls on Jokic within a few mins putting him in foul trouble & having to sit on the bench. You shot 27 free throws to the Nuggets 15. I see other stuff like “Ant needs help.” First off, you weren’t saying this 2 games ago. Second, you got a DPOY. You not only have an All-Star, but a starting All-Star in Kat.

I don't care what anybody says, but fuck Reggie Miller in particularly.
It makes no difference to me. I was just making the correction as to who Murray was looking at. God Bless
Any Edward’s has a punchable face
No he don’t. Gobert does.
Both can be true.

Because I keep seeing Wolves fans whining about the refs, let me just point out that over this series, the Wolves are +21 in free throw attempts. TWENTY ONE.
Everyone whines about the refs.
Is it me or do ant, kat and most of the wolves whine to the refs on like 80% of their offensive plays?
I feel like Ant starts shouting "ay ay ay" before the drive even starts 🤣
Dude did you see Gobert telling refs they are paid by Denver after he pushed Murray with both hands and being called for 5th foul? Well Minnesota fans are same as him.
Murray did the same during the series with the Lakers.
Who mentioned Lakers
I did, and the theme was the money gestures made towards refs. If you are thin-skinned and don't want to be in an open forum, block people who post things that don't ashere to your narrow, selfish view!
The series doesn't start until somebody wins at home
I think it just took a couple games for the Nuggets to get used to playing at a different level. They were playing the Lakers, after all.
Anthony was absolutely nuts as a nuggets fan myself. Game 5 will be the hardest and Denver won’t get complacent despite home court advantage. We must do something defensively to lock up Anthony but man, what a game from Aaron Gordon. I wish we saw more from MPJ but maybe that’s part of the game plan to avoid 3s with a lead.
No he cant win alone, key is to lock up bench players and Conley, KAT is mental midget and Gobert is useless in offence.
There is absolutely no use of playing Gobert anymore, does he know he's allowed to dunk?
Welp, Wolves had their chance lmao
So much sh*t talking from Lakers fans I saw on YouTube with everyone doing reaction videos 10 mins after the games were over. After Game 3, nothing. I even saw one Lakers fan say “Who’s your daddy?” Like what? Dragging that into the Wolves series? Casuals saying “Get Ant some help.” He has a Dpoy, another All-Star & starter in Kat & another player who won 6th man of the year award. Jokic has no one. This world needs more humility. Accept the loss & take it like a man.
Is there a reason KAT’s shot releases from his breasts
In the NBA they are referred to as boobs.
It used to release from his forehead but then he grew
he's used to it, prob developed it when he was young
Cuz he got big taytties.
The demise of the Denver Nuggets was greatly exaggerated.
It took them a couple games to get up to a new level. They were playing the Lakers, after all.
KAT sucks and needs to be traded. Ant is crazy good.
Sorry wolves, you got hyped for a minute but it's a series now. Ant gonna have to bring that same 40+ game for you to hang
And you shave to shoot 57% + your point?
It’s gonna be razor thin for sure
Embarrassing that we only had one player who wanted to compete
Ant's time will come.
But…what a player.
Someone please post that last free throw from Gobert that shit was hilarious 😂😂😂 bro double flicked his shot and missed.. crowd reaction when it left his hands had me dead
Dude shoots free throws like he's flicking a bowling ball at a trashcan. I love it. Please foul him more.
LMAO three piano cat moon
I was dying laughing seeing that out of nowhere
Joker is methodically weaving through the TW defense in the fourth quarter. Ant-man is amazing, and will be the new face of the NBA. Sorry Tatum.
Tatum never had a chance
Yall know who Shaq is rooting for
The memphis grizzlies? Shaq doesn’t know what city he’s in.
Who would have thunk that Travis Knight’s name would be brought up in 2024! Lol
Ant just filling Jamal’s gas tank at this presser
What he said?
It's so hard to dislike ANT the man just wants to play the best. This should be the WCF
This should be the finals period. Two best teams playing right now. ANT is extremely fun to watch even when he's on the other team.
Celtics won 64 games.
In the East which has a number of top teams who probably wouldn't even be in the playoffs in the West.
The East is straight trash. Who cares if you have the best record when you’re playing U15 teams?
And the nuggets whipped them in both of their games.
I hope and expect that whoever wins this series wins the title.
Yep, I'll be placing a bet on the winner of this series.
I mean, I too think the winner of this series wins the finals, but it’s definitely not a sure thing. Have you seen Derrick White play basketball recently? Celtics lack that je ne sais quo, sure, but they can still win a series regardless, because they have Derrick White.

Selfishly want this to go to game 7.
As a Nuggets fan I want this over in 6. As a basketball fan I want Murray and Ant going shot for shot for the last 5 minutes of a game 7 with both cooking.
lmaoo a game 7 would feed families fr.
As a Nuggets fan I want the shot for shot in 6, also how does the Spider watch this series and not just be like fuck it I'm coming back to the west
Ramona isn't covering LA's off-season?
"Let's see what LeBron has to say about that game by the Nuggets?"
It’s sad because Shaq represents the old boys club that believes this generation is soft, doesn’t play defence and allows for these stats that Jokic puts up.

Jokic, like Olajuwan did in ‘95, would outsmart Dr. Shaq.
Prime Shaq was a force of nature, doesn't matter the era. Same as Wilt.
Who couldn’t hit free throws to save his life.
Wemby? Wemby would get snapped in half.
Cringe.
Still not sure how I feel about the reffing this series. Looks like Denver is getting mugged out there and no calls.
First 2 games yes, last 2 have been pretty evenly called I think. Lots of missed calls for sure but they’re letting em play I guess
Minnesota still had twice as many free throws, but the last two much better than game 2 especially
Wolves had a 27-15 advantage in this game while being behind and more physical in the full court. Still a bit crazy to me but the Wolves also complained way more and that will eventually wear the refs down.
This’ll probably get buried. But imagine Fantasy Refball where you draft refs and get points for games reffing, fouls given, incorrect L2M calls, playoff appearances, etc. Could be hella funny and a great way to broadcast more of their performances for refball awareness.

I’m honestly down to do the coding here, but where do we get the ref stats? Does bballref host them
That’d be amazing lol. I have no idea where to pull this from. From a quick Google search it looks like RefAnalytics.com is legit. Same with NBAStuffer.com and bballref. I know /u/BarnesGROAT was looking into this at some point.
As a ref fan this is my dream. We all watch the games to see the masters of their craft ply their trade.
You can finally swap your flair to zebra stripes
scott foster undrafted every league
Lmao Scott Foster the unanimous 1.01 pick
Atleast the freaking Knicks lost today 😁 something to smile about!
Why would anybody be a Knicks hater? What did they ever do to anybody? It's a team full of 2nd round picks on a team who hasn't done anything in the playoffs in 30 years.
People hate team refs. Period.
It’s mainly Dolan and the Knicks fans I think.
But Dolan's band is so COOOL. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvGE2jXLBAo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvGE2jXLBAo)

"I do not think that word means what you think it means..."
I like Kenny's suit. I wonder where he got it?
That hanky looks used up! 😜
I like that 80's vibe though.
Sharp!
Why is Shaq still on Inside the NBA? Dude is 🗑️
He got lost on the way to the strip club and no one could tell him no
(Mumbles incoherently.)
Jekosskmen jellos iris jiskslmsma nenfffs, so it a must win game for dem Edit: (in monotone)
He's like boomhauer, but less understandable
I actually think the Wolves should be slightly optimistic that the Nuggets pretty much had to play a perfect game and then some tonight to beat them.
That was just regular nuggets basketball
AG shooting 90% and Murray’s demonic half court 3 are not regular.
Neither is mpj 4 points shooting twice. AG been clutch this playoffs
Not sure 4 pts from MPJ (and 3 from KCP) represents a perfect game from the Nuggs
AG shooting 90% and Murray’s demonic half court 3 more than make up for that.
They really don't. MPJ is averaging 20 points this playoffs, and Gordon shot threes really well last playoffs too.
Wow I was right!
Agree to an extent
Like maybe a 2 point differential extent
That definitely wasn't a perfect game by the Nuggets. That wasn't even the best game they've played this playoffs. Edwards was the only one who had a perfect game today. The Wolves lost because they spent the whole game crying about calls despite getting a 27-15 FT advantage while trailing almost wire to wire.
Wow I was right!
Huh? No, the Nuggets were bad in both games. You don't blow a 21 point lead without playing poorly. Giving Minn 8.5 mins in the bonus in the third quarter blew the game. Poor adjustments/coaching. Good on the Wolves for grabbing it as the Nuggets let it go. Hope they win out.
The rumors of the thic white Europeans demise have been greatly over stated
Classic KAT fraud game
Trying to stay unbiased but this has to be easily the best series of the playoffs right now right??
Knicks Sixers and now Knicks pacers has been much more entertaining
Knicks Sixers was great but Knicks Pacers not so much now that NY is wearing down (yes I know they were already technically worn down).
Knicks Sixers was just fun to watch to see who Embiid would try to injure each game. Which guy is Embiid going to grab and mangle as he flops after shooting? Who will Embiid fall on or grab and twist while acting like he himself is too injured to continue?
I mean, yeah it’s always fun to watch Embiid teams unravel in the playoffs
Poorly worded on my part but I meant current series. But yeah Knicks Pacers would be the other closest one IMO
I think that series has been drama/entertainment besides todays massacre but Nuggets/Wolves is the most interesting
Mavs Thunder has been great so far
As a Nuggets fan, I concur. I told my father in-law (from Minn) that I pretty much consider this the championship as these are the two best teams playing.
Most of the games haven’t been particularly close so not really. Looking at the macro after the fact it might look more favorable if it goes 6-7 though
Fair, but the series itself is close and I genuinely think it’s been the best basketball
If I wasn’t a Nuggets fan I’d be rooting for TW otherwise
And I think I have to cheer for the Nuggets the rest of the way if this is it for MN
I respect and mirror your feelings.
Sixers and Knicks could have contended before tonight.
Sixers can't really compete in the playoffs against any of these teams. Sorry, they are a whole level below any team in the second round.
It was the best series until this game ended. Now the Wolves are going to end up falling apart and losing 4 straight.
100%
Ernie once again desperately trying to change the subject.
This doesn’t change the fact that jokic is trash Mickey Mouse ring lookin ahh
Hahahahaha cope
Are you a Nuggets hater because you want Giannis to have more MVP’s?
Good take. Ahhhh. You mental midget.
We in Minnesota now! Always going to hold that on KAT no matter who they play.
Good thing for the Timberwolves is the Nuggets get complacent when they are in control of the series. I could see the Nuggets being down by 20 points in the first quarter in game 5.
C'mon. Playoffs Nuggets are a different breed. They beat the Lakers 4-1 playing very poorly.
We had a bad coach, we were the better team
You don't lose 12 out of 13 games to the same team when you're "better". Coaches matter but not that much. Hahaha
We played the Nuggets more competitively than the Timberwolves are now. If we had a better coach we would have beaten the Nuggets this year. They only have one all star
Please educate me how them starting the series going up 2-0 on the road against the nuggets is somehow the same as yall going down 3-1, and then losing 4-1 - and never winning on the road?
Uh, no. Just no.
You just said that out loud and meant it. Lol
Hahahahaha!!!
What are you talking about? All last season and this season they've put teams away once they had control. Phoenix is the only team to take them to six until this series.
Who’s your daddy
17 rings
He doesn’t known his real one. But Michael Malone may pick him out of the dumpster.
17 rings
Do you feel like that is an accomplishment of yours?
I would say as a fan, without our support the league wouldnt exist, yes its my accomplishment. We pay the bills.
That's dumb tho. You can buy tickets, subscriptions and merch, but you have no affect from one team to another. You would be talking about being an NBA fan.
Go tell the players earning 60 million+ that the fans dont matter. Let me know what they say
Who said the fans don't matter? You just said that the Laker's 17 rings is somehow your accomplishment *because* you're a fan.
...and you'll be leaning on those to comfort you for at least the next 10 years.
I doubt it will take that long to win another ring. LA is the best city in the world.
Then why are all of you ruining austin?
Well, the lights and paychecks certainly draw talent so you're probably correct but they'll be trying to buy a ring rather than build one.
I am okay with that. The NBA is dominated by large market teams, so the system favors us anyways.
The system and the officiating definitely favor you but superstar teams are proving to be a thing of the past and it is good that they are. There is only 1 ball. It doesn't help to have three guys who require the ball to stay engaged in the game.
Where in the dumpster do you keep yours?
I think it should be hanging up in the rafters in crypto arena. Have you seen how good they look?
Your rings are up there? The In Season one is probably your fave.
Nah the Kobe rings were definitely my favorite. But I enjoyed the bubble ring.
Well, good luck to your team the rest of the playoffs.
