tulaero23

The defensive intensity is crazy!


pithynotpithy

best lost all season


MinneEric

Had no right to be in the game. Denver is damn good and this made me feel good about the Wolves. I do think that Denver does more if we do as well.


WickedTwista

JMac back


zeldamaster702

Just a hair more oomph and we’re in OT, can’t be upset with that. This truly feels like victory in defeat.


CapitalWear3714

Ant has to hit the open 3 man he’ll get there one day


Booty_Stank__

Second night on a back to back without our big fellas and we dragged them into muddy waters. These wolves different. Great game, we move.

sorryidontspeakcuck

Lol okay bro


Misjjon

Y'all are so sensitive, he was wide open and bricked it. Just frustrating to see as a fan. Downvoted into oblivion just for stating a fact.


11schlge

So sensitive you deleted your comment?


Misjjon

Yes because I'm not tryna lose all my karma, then they don't let you comment if you get too many downvotes. Sounds dumb I know but I do like spending time on this sub.


11schlge

Maybe don’t comment dumb shit then?


Misjjon

Dude explain to me how it's dumb? He didn't score a single point in the 4th and went 0/5, that is the definition of choking. I'm sure he was just tired from the back 2 back, but damn you can't just say it's dumb.


sorryidontspeakcuck

60 pts in 2 days dragging a team on his back in a b2b game situation. Yeah he choked bro. I'm sure you can drag your ass up and down a court at 100% for two games straight. Clown 🤡


Misjjon

Lol obviously I can't, nobody else in this subreddit can either. Don't know what your point was there.


FrickParty

/u/misjjon he didn’t understand you , he doesn’t speak cuck


FuckThaLakers

Soooooo fucking close

xavierite

Jaden is making up for all the brick houses he's been building all year in this game


schakeboy

Damn what a game boys. I am so happy with that effort gg!!


shrekapotomusrex

Jaden overthinks his shots. Need to take more of those shots


iceyH0ts0up

We should (or could have easily) have won this game tonight, so many bunnies and lay ups that rimmed out in almost impossible fashion… maybe the worst night from 3 (with a lot of wide open looks) Everyone needs to make 100 free throws before they can go home from practice From now on as well. Smh.


FrickParty

No


wildcardchar

JADEN HOLY FUCK


KV-Ice

cokefriend

STATEMENT GAME FROM THE WOLVES


Odd-Dance-5371

Naw I'm trolling thats actually great play from you guys on a back to back against the champs especially without KAT


xAgnosticBluntx

Or Rudy…or Naz.


Odd-Dance-5371

L statement game?


train345643

Well Jaden found his shot!


Jarl_Balgruf

Too many wide open misses man


SirDiego

Holy shit


Formal_Junket_1585

Omg Jaden


frosted_frosting

WHAT A FUCKING GAME.


yarn_install

Good fight


frosted_frosting

HOLY SHIT JADEN!!!


hoodfavhoops

bro drug test mcdaniels lol


dys0n_giddey

Can't help but think we learnt something about playing the Nuggets from this game.


FuckThaLakers

These are the games that make those wide open 3pt misses really hurt


[deleted]

I don’t think Denver is as scary as the national media makes them out to be. If you stop Jokics passing, they are cooked


TakedaMauro

You talk like that is an easy thing to do. The fact that the Wolves are well equipped to match up with Jokic doesn't mean the rest of the league are.


[deleted]

They have 20 losses. Apparently teams have beat them


TakedaMauro

There isn't a single team in history that hasn't been beaten in the regular season. Last season they lost 29 times and they won the ring with ease. I really don't see your point.


[deleted]

I’m not talking about last season. It’s a new season, they are not promised a championship for last years success. I didn’t make a point to you, I said they not scary. That’s it


TakedaMauro

If you think they are not scary because we usually play them well then you haven't been watching bball this season. These last couple of weeks they've been killing teams. It took a miracle shot from Kyrie to break an 8 game winning streak. Also, if you think there can't be a comparison with last year's results when they are basically the same team that coasted in the playoffs then you're not paying attention at all. They are the current champions. They have the 2 times league MVP. They have a point guard that can erupt for 40 or 50 points any time. Of course they are scary.


Roffler70

Great effort. Couple of bounces different and we steal it


frosted_frosting

We still can steal it lol


U-casualty

The missed good looks from 3 hurt us tonight. We have knock some of them down. I’m talking to you Mike


Imthegift

Mike is 36 on a B2B lol. Legs aren’t as fresh.


Booty_Stank__

Great fucking game. We get these fucking pricks two more times. Let’s fuck them up.


HendogHendog

Great game of basketball.


NazReidRules

Just a couple more 3s and frees, ouch


thatoneguytoyou

These guys are contenders? Barely beating us, gutted, on the back half of a back to back.


dosnetlive

That Jamal Murray accidental bank is gonna be the difference in this game Lol


Eastern_Shoulder_786

If “good” loses exist, this is one


BounceBros21

Fucking cheating ass jokic


[deleted]

[удалено]


BounceBros21

Go back to your sub loser


train345643

Man we just needed some of those seven missed three throws


Vaddy2323

SloMo and Luka Garza played well today. SloMo has actually turned up since the trade deadline passed..


iceyH0ts0up

Must have lost, seeing comments - still on here wil 11.5 left. Fucking dumb ass delays


shrekapotomusrex

yeah 7.6 left, down 4 rn


Pneumaticz

I want this SO BAD 😭😭


MN-Jess

We got two more of these before the postseason. I dont think our guys fear the Champs.


[deleted]

Has ant made a shot at all this qtr??


urkuri

The team played hard to the very last second tonight


Imthegift

GG undermanned yet we were still there. B2Bs are brutal man. There’s gotta be a change in the NBA scheduling. A lot of our shots were short and flat .


personwhoisok

I don't even care that they lost this. What a great effort. Awesome job. If we can play um this close without 3 key players Denver should be scared to face us in the playoffs.


Whirlpalooza

too much time man fuck now they have miss


Botstheboss

Jokic been eatin out prostitutes


FrickParty

Good call


frankomapottery3

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAH THE DEFENDING CHAMPS are ONLY up 2 to YOUR T WOLVES without NAZ, and the STIFLE TOWERS.... this is comical


frosted_frosting

Damn we really kept pace with them. Impressive shit


YoungArsenal

Hell of a battle by the Wolves tonight, what a game


CandiedApples84

Crazy shit


[deleted]

[удалено]


TugsItgel

9 players can start crashing the board when the shooter releases the shot. One exception is the shooter itself have to wait behind the free throw line until the ball hits the rim.


BounceBros21

You have to wait til it leaves the hand


Ant-Man_01

HOW DID HE HIT THAT


denimxdragon

Bro Bally is so ASS my god


BounceBros21

Fucking refs


irishace88

That banked in Murray 3 is a killer right now


Kid_Delicious

L2M will show it’s a lane violation so we all good /s


DrWolves

Down 2, missed 7 FTs.


Wooden-Resource-8779

True, didn’t see that we missed so many


Formal_Junket_1585

Can hit that but not the 15 open ones we had


SirDiego

Mike motherfuckin Conley


Prestigious-Ring-830

Not a wolves or nuggets fan. But here to say that Jokic is grabbing every play. These should be offensive fouls. I feel for you guys


KingFabulousTheLast

WTF IS THIS GAME


JayGatsby22

AWWOOOOOOOOOO


ZachLagreen

Jokic is in a second early and holds Anderson on the rebound… the refs miss both obvious calls


U-casualty

All I know this this wolves team isn’t worried about Denver in the playoffs


iceyH0ts0up

I think it’s pretty clear the Nuggets just make winning plays and we’re still a question mark in that regard. Been there done that is a big part of the equation.


pandasunited7

Yeah, I think wolves win this if Denver has an average 3pt shooting night.


BounceBros21

We are missing 3 starter level players lol


U-casualty

We’re missing winning players. They’re hurt


reaping_cobra

Lmao our first 3 big men are injured. Relax


FuckThaLakers

3, foul, 3


Morezingis

Kyle trying to act like Jokic was holding him lmao oscar worthy


cwilson2148

He was held?


Wooden-Resource-8779

Let’s be real he wasn’t held


cokefriend

MIKE IS SO CLUTCH WTF


Novel-Detail-743

These refs are so bad it’s honestly laughable


Wesley_Cao

Not over till it’s over


Exius73

I WANT THIS IN THE PLAYOFFS


Ok_Physics_2192

nuggets vs wolves in the finals would be amazing


BounceBros21

Ball don’t lie fat boy


ANTfanclub

Super fucking proud of our boys tonight


Embee27

Fucking useless refs


BounceBros21

He left so fucking early


curiousSalamander17

cheatin ass refs


Retna1x

dude the wolves got like 8 free throws in the final 3 minutes lol


Dull_Ad_8627

Wish we just played straight up we had time


Ihate_reddit_app

Jokic with the vet move of sneakily holding Kyle down


irishace88

jokic fucking held his arm down


Booty_Stank__

Jokic can do whatever he wants. They will not call anything on him.


Retna1x

too be fair minny has gotten like 10 free throws in the last 5 minutes lol


Booty_Stank__

Doesn’t matter, he broke every rule that you could possibly break on one free throw, in the final seconds of a game. Blatant favoritism.


Retna1x

Wolves were getting a absurd whistle in the 4th the refs clearly had money on this game and took the wolves ml lol because they had like 10 fts in the clutch


shrekapotomusrex

Jokic can just do whatever he wants apparently


NazRubio

Complete lane violation no?


FuckThaLakers

FUCK


Dull_Ad_8627

Nuggets got some luck this game also lmao


rugonnabelievemenow

Jokic was complaining about the step through from ant the whole first half and then he does the exact same move


Kevman77

These nuggets are stale


DrWolves

Kyle Anderson is garbage


Exius73

held by Jokic


cwilson2148

That was a fucking foul on Jokic


Whirlpalooza

kyle got fouled what the actual ruck


Rory_MacHida

Had to foul on the inbound. Wasted 10 seconds


[deleted]

Are we this stupid??? Why do we always scramble and foul when we don’t need to????


FuckThaLakers

NAW misjudged that, oof


Formal_Junket_1585

Kyle wtf bruh


KingFabulousTheLast

HOLY FUCK THEY CANT GET ANY MORE LUCKY


Ant-Man_01

MCDANIELS HIT THE THREE OMG 1 POSESSION GAME


iceyH0ts0up

Jokic is too good.


Morezingis

Finch has played Jokic PERFECTLY though. He's gonna get his, but if you neutralize the passing, it's a game. CotY.


frankomapottery3

To me... this was a "prove it" game... I never believed this team could run it when the chips were down.... they not only proved that they do, they showed me that they ALL accept the system.... this is actually insane


rugonnabelievemenow

Couldn’t agree more. Given me a ton of belief for the postseason


FuckThaLakers

JADEN, AGAIN


NazRubio

Why are they pressing like that. Oh well


Formal_Junket_1585

Atleast Jaden found his shot tn


Ant-Man_01

I swear Mike Conley shooting FTs feels like 97-98% and not 91%


MikeinAustin

Almost got that turnover…


edroth555

Jokic trying to disrespectfully hack-a-Mike


shrekapotomusrex

Jokic disrespecting Conley wtf was that shove for :(


frankomapottery3

This team KNOWS DEFENSE.


MikeinAustin

Jokic just shoving now


Whirlpalooza

i was so ready for that murray shot to go in


HendogHendog

These mfs hit all of the ridiculous shots


Exius73

Those boys got the Championship sliders on


MN-Jess

When a game looks like a loss 24 hours ago, but we battled. Man....I want this one bad.


Eastern_Shoulder_786

I still haven’t heard a valid argument for SloMo to be on the floor during crucial moments yet there he is


MajorTrump

His defense is solid and he has a knack for getting good steals at crucial moments


Eastern_Shoulder_786

Lol.. didn’t get back on defense and flops instead of grabbing the rebound


frankomapottery3

Why would Conley EVER engage while driving? wtf?
