Little Woz is probably getting grounded as I type

He’s just sitting there with his mouth open. Quietest he’s been in weeks.

Now remind him he said the nuggets would win and send him to his room.

 

[The Gator]

Need a frosty check in

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

Fliopper

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Tough way to foul out.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Shocking, Denver up 20 at the Half, reigning Champs and about to get knocked out by the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 7
I believe 11 points at Half in a Game 7 is the biggest deficit any team has overcome to win

We don't talk like that with 2 minutes left.

 

[Alex P Keaton]

Tough way to foul out.

And to then have Jokic foul Conley on the next play and not get called.

 

[The Gator]

Tough way to foul out.

You mean not fouling but the offensive player threw his head and shoulders back so it was called?

Yeah, tough

Yeah, tough

Correct, this is what I meant.

 

[msudaisy26]

Tired legs on these shots for the Nuggets.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

The Edwards non call when he was driving for a lay up and then Denver scores on the other end, thought that was gong to spark the Nuggets, halfway thru the 4th.
Glad Minnesota is overcoming one of the worst non calls I have seen in some time, i don't know what the Ref was looking at there, Edwards knew it

Figured that's what you meany, just spelling it out for furley

 

[Desert_Power]

They freaking did it. Wow

 

[Ministry of Pain]

BA-BOOM!
KAT

 

[SWC]

we did it take that to the bank brohans

 

[GroveDiesel]

What an epic comeback by the T-Wolves and colossal collapse by the Nuggets.

 

[Mister CIA]

Congrats Wolves fans. Will be fun to cheer for them in their next series.

 

[PIK95]

Feels like Denver's lack of depth getting a little exposed here. Just a ton of pressure on their top 5 to almost never come off the court.

Jeff Greens rim protection last year would be helpful. I wouldn't be shocked if Denver gets swept at this point. No rim protection at all, and not enough shooting. I told my buddy Minnesota was gonna win 4-2 before it started, but now I think it may be worse. I am kinda surprised DeAndre or Zeke haven't at least got a couple of minutes. Minnesota just keeps driving for layups at will.

Sad we won't get to watch Joker anymore, but it was pretty much expected for me.

 

[The Gator]

Wolves - Pacers finals please

 

[Major]

Wow, the Wolves really did it. Their offensive rebounding was incredible in the 4th. Hope you guys win this whole thing

 

[identikit]

Two road dogs win Game 7s on the same day

WOW

 

[Ted Lange as your Bartender]

Congrats @Frostillicus

 

[Zow]

I’m spent

 

[Ministry of Pain]

I missed anything the crew said at Halftime, was Charles crowning the Nuggets?

 

[Desert_Power]

Nuggets supporting cast was terrible tonight.

 

[Alex P Keaton]

Man. So happy for Wolves fans. I lived in the Twin Cities during the early Garnett days. Always had some residual positive vibes for that franchise. Would love to see Wolves-Celts!!!

 

[scoobus]

Overreaction time- would Denver ever consider trading MPJ? Ton of money to pay for a guy that was awful in the finals last year, and pretty equally invisible in this series. Gotta imagine he'd have interest around the league.

I think they would do it if someone wanted him.

 

[Frostillicus]

A lot of you people owe a lot of different Wolves apologies.

I can't ****ing believe we ****ing won.

Truly overpriced one trick pony

 

[Zow]

Little Woz just now: “daddy when I grow up I want to live in Minnesota. They win there.”


Oh, buddy…

(No shtick)

 

[dickey moe]

"Bring yo ***!"

 

[msudaisy26]

Not I. I believed

Are you the first to apologize?

 

[Zow]

There are great restaurants there.

 

[Frostillicus]

Wolves remain undefeated in Game 7s in their history.

 

[Capella]

Big day for the Celtics. Pacers next round and no Denver in the finals. Blessed season for them.

Except for this whole pesky Wolves thing, you mean.

Yeah losing in the finals to the wolves is a great season for them.

 

[msudaisy26]

The Knicks would have probably been an easier path (if that is possible) since OG, Hart were both banged up and Brunson probably misses the series with a broken hand.

 

[Capella]

Michael Porter with one of the worst series I ever remember somebody playing. Unbelievably bad.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Crazy 2nd half.

Not sure what Gobert did to make everyone seemingly hate him other than be on the receiving end of one of D Green's assaults, but I wonder if anyone railing him for Game 5 and then the first half tonight will give him any props for the second half tonight. He made a big shot and had some huge rebounds.

 

[Zow]

Michael Porter with one of the worst series I ever remember somebody playing. Unbelievably bad.

Is he on the Nuggets?

Hope it happens!

First of all, congrats to Minnesota.

It is so great to see the mutual respect between these teams as everybody was shaking hands. McDaniels is sort of a POS for trying that nonsense at the end, but oh well.

It is great to see the small market teams represent!!!

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

Ant >>>> Those two pretenders in green.

 

[SayWhat?]

You’re welcome Minnesota sports fans! I turned the game off when we went down 20, but continued to follow the score and against my better jinxing judgement, turned the game back on with 8 minutes to go. The Wolves just needed to know how mother grabbing angry I was!

 

[identikit]

I was born in Minnesota, but moved when I was about 3

So I've been spared the typical Minny fan's tough history; I never really had that connection to the teams there.

That being said, this is the day, I believe, that the ship begins to right itself

Minnesota is a winner today

It was bad form but I would give him a pass since he has literally never been here before.

At the time It kinda seemed like an awkward reaction to the way the ball came to him. It’s was an odd play.

Not great, Bob!
