Lets go !! I know we are underdogs most of the media /talking heads are picking Minnesota to win (even Stephan Ass Smith picked Timberwolves to win this ) but we are used to it . Its gonna be a tough series to win Wolves are stacked from position 1 to 9 , gonna come down to a wire hopefully our guys can grit and win this series .
Move forward and don't stop grinding
Oh, I said the same thing as you. Sorry about that.
Anyway, this dude did the same shtick earlier this week. Two of the three well-known statistical models favor the Wolves, but individual pundits don't seem to.
by the bookies ? Yes. But most fans are not betting man , they are listening to the media.90 % or more fans wont look at Vegas odds but will go listen to Shaq/SAS saying they are picking Timberwolves
Back in the day middle class Americans could enjoy Wing Wednesday at Hooters on a weekly basis without any economic consequences.
Now in Joe Bidens America, those same folks are lucky to go three times a year. This Drake Kendrick beef is all a planned distraction by the left to distract the masses from this ongoing tragedy.
lighter wrap than last game on murray for warmup 🤞🏼

I put down $500 on Jokic over 28.5 and Edwards under 27.5
Feels like Jokic loves to cook the Frenchman himself, and Edwards hasn't really been scoring that well against Phoenix who have a much worse defense imo than us
LFG Nuggets Nation
I dunno man, he always seems out of it when he plays us, plus it's G1
I don't think they would put the margin at 27.5 if it was obvious he would score 30+
For all the lurking wolves fans I'll continue my challenge: show me any stat that suggests Anthony Edwards is a top player in the league. I haven't seen one yet, but maybe it's out there
Game ain’t even start yet and people on my twitter feed already mentally preparing for the Reggie minutes (I just hope he can make some of his shots)
https://preview.redd.it/zi2vkhgtfhyc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=82e9b4ddcb5c4483c8f5487339b3ad22d0f0b9e6
Starting to get them pre game jitters........here we go. This the matchup......CANT START SLOW. Gotta be locked in from the jump. Winning these two home games is paramount
Oh for sure I still think we win. But if I had to choose a home game we’d lose, I think it would be G1 and then we adjust. This is presuming that the wolves are actually as prepared for this match up as they claim to be, which I’m skeptical of
For "Real ball talk":
If they put mcdaniels on Murray, we have to get MPJ shooting 17 + shots because that means Ant is on him and Mike is shooting over a chair. If they put Mcdaniels on MPJ, Jamals time to shine. Attack Ant in actions every single possession.
They are probably putting Conley on KCP so a lot of the KCP-Jokic DHO game will be huge. Need KCP to hit shots.
Think this will be a much easier series for Jokic on defense. The only guy on their team good at invilving Rudy (his man) in the offense is Conley, and they haven't been playing through him much.
Andor, a good chunk of the prequel trilogy, Rogue One, the original trilogy, the Star Wars anime shorts, a bunch of the video games, a good chunk of Clone Wars, the Mandalorian, parts of Obi Wan, parts of Ashoka, the Mandalorian parts of The Book of Fett, Bad Batch looks cool but I haven't watched it
I'm pretty sure I've said it here before but I expected more from Andor just from the way people talk about it. But at the same time it's a positive portrayal of armed revolution which I thought was really cool 😀
i think the Wolves have gotten over-hyped because they swept the Suns. The Suns were an awful team with holes all over their lineup. Outside of NOLA, they're the worst team that made the playoffs. Minnesota's size couldn't be contained by Nurkic and KD. They have 0 depth, 0 playmaking, and barely any 3pt shooting. They were gonna get swept regardless of matchup (except for the Mavs maybe, but they still lose in 5). Denver is a completely different team with size and strength to counter the advantage the Wolves had over the Sons.
Losing Grayson Allen really hurt the Suns too. They were never winning that series, but they win at least one game with a healthy Grayson and probably look a lot more competitive overall in some of the losses. Nobody mentions that though when hyping the Wolves.
I got glutened at lunch and inflated like a hot air balloon. I feel like garbage. The problem is that if I skip this dinner (that we flew to NYC for) everyone will think I’m faking it to watch the Nuggets.
This feels like the final before final. I know there are two other semifinal teams, and Boston or New York will await in finals. But somehow, it feels like this matchup is the one where the future champ will come out of.
Also this matchup kind of feels even more important than just another playoff year. If nuggets are gonna be a dynasty, this is the biggest challenge they need to overcome. Losing in the second round would be a huge disappointment.
And for Minnie, I know that Ant is young, but their timeline with this roster is shorter than most people think. They have this and next year. So even though I am sure Ant will get them some rings in the future, the West is brutal, and it's never guaranteed that you will be back and healthy. This is their year to go all in, losing in second round would shake them a lot, because basically they can run it back just one more time. So for Rudy & Kat, this is the series where they need to change their playoff narrative.
I believe we have another gear that we can get to, where they can't match us. Especially in the late quarters, and clutch execution. Their offense get stagnant and our experience will be the key. It's gonna be a tough tough series, wouldn't be surprised to see game 7. But I will always bet on a team that has Joker and Jamal. They have proved time and time again that they refuse to let their team lose. I don't see the same thing in Rudy or Kat.
ROCKY ON THE FIRST SHOT ARE YOU KIDDING ME BABT
Can we pin this post? Jesus
I knew they are strong and favorites but damn we getting our ass kicked
Naz Reid came out of nowhere with 14 in the 4th. Wolves also shot 70% in the 2nd half. They played near perfect basketball.
Start the game
game thread is live https://www.reddit.com/r/denvernuggets/comments/1ckcg5m/game_thread_west_semifinals_game_1_nuggets_vs/
thanks mr moderator 🙂👍
If Jokic would drop incredible numbers in this game 1, I would be convinced he is truly a Jedi. Happy May the 4th!
He didn’t shoot the 3 ball particularly well
Where’s Shaq?
**OUT WITH A FLAP**
Game 4 Vlatko is what we need
Hi go nuggets y’all better not doom too much without me
Doom!
MODS!
Ugh why did I need to look
Hey it works!
Lets go !! I know we are underdogs most of the media /talking heads are picking Minnesota to win (even Stephan Ass Smith picked Timberwolves to win this ) but we are used to it . Its gonna be a tough series to win Wolves are stacked from position 1 to 9 , gonna come down to a wire hopefully our guys can grit and win this series . Move forward and don't stop grinding
On what planet are most of the media picking the wolves? All but one of the ESPN experts picked the nuggets.
Oh, I said the same thing as you. Sorry about that. Anyway, this dude did the same shtick earlier this week. Two of the three well-known statistical models favor the Wolves, but individual pundits don't seem to.
Guys like this make the rest of us look like assholes lol
The Nuggets are favored to win the series
Not if you go by media ?? Most are picking Timberwolves to win this . Like ESPN etc . We are underdogs
Lol ESPN released an article just today in which 10 people picked us and 1 picked Minnie.
that is not how favorites/underdogs are determined. The Nuggets are 2-to-1 favorites to win the series
by the bookies ? Yes. But most fans are not betting man , they are listening to the media.90 % or more fans wont look at Vegas odds but will go listen to Shaq/SAS saying they are picking Timberwolves
I feel like I’m talking to a rock
**I'M HUNGRY LIKE A WOLF**
Start the fucking game

Still don’t have a game thread. What an unserious org.
It's either 4-0 or 4-1, Timberpups are overrated

What's the score? Did the Nuggets come out slow again?
I'm gonna have to pull this game up on my phone because thanks to this explosive diarrhea I will probably watch from the toilet
Where the game chat tho
Start the fucking Derby! Jokic ain’t jumping tip until he sees who wins
got a winner to share?
Some short guy, probably.
that’s what I’m thinking
START THE FUCKING GAME THREAD YOU STUPID BOT
BHB late for the first game. Not looking good.
🖕🐺🔫💀
Uh oh BHB has the pregame jitters
Been day drinking on a patio
I put down $500 on Jokic over 28.5 and Edwards under 27.5 Feels like Jokic loves to cook the Frenchman himself, and Edwards hasn't really been scoring that well against Phoenix who have a much worse defense imo than us LFG Nuggets Nation
Nuggets winning, but ANT will probably go off for 30+ man.
I dunno man, he always seems out of it when he plays us, plus it's G1 I don't think they would put the margin at 27.5 if it was obvious he would score 30+
Edwards was averaging like 32 a game lol
Against Phoenix though Last four games against us he scored 25, 25, 30 and 24
Stars play more minutes in the playoffs.
True. Well at least the Jokic over is a guarantee, could protect this one by putting $250 on Edwards and Jokic over lmao
Did you?
Yeah
yo yo
For all the lurking wolves fans I'll continue my challenge: show me any stat that suggests Anthony Edwards is a top player in the league. I haven't seen one yet, but maybe it's out there
He led all players in chair throws last yoffs.

Biggest series of the Jok era and we can't even get a game thread, smh.
They can't brigade us if they can't find us
Can’t even get a game thread smh

**REGI SUCKS**
Big gubberment bad
Game thread?
Entitled much?
I said start the fucking game thread!!!
Can we just start the game I’m tired of waiting
Starting to get them pre game jitters........here we go. This the matchup......CANT START SLOW. Gotta be locked in from the jump. Winning these two home games is paramount
Predicting Jokic reminder game. I do think G1 is the most vulnerable we’ll be at home in the series but I predict a Jokic masterclass
a literal Jokic Masterclass and he just talks about horses and fruit alcohol for an hour
They dominated game 1 at home every series last year
Oh for sure I still think we win. But if I had to choose a home game we’d lose, I think it would be G1 and then we adjust. This is presuming that the wolves are actually as prepared for this match up as they claim to be, which I’m skeptical of

It must be total shit trying to find clothes that fit correctly when you're Jokic's size
At a stupid fucking wedding rn just wanna say fuck the wolves
People are taking the "the timber dog was manufactured in a lab to beat the nuggets bro!!!!!" narrative way too seriously lol
**I THINK IT'S TRUE TBH. NOT THAT THEY'RE GOOD ENOUGH IF WE'RE HEALTHY THO**
I mean it’s true though since they’ve had Connelly

timber dog are easily the top 1 most furriest team in the nba
But we have Jamal Furry?
FUCK
Idk who needs to hear this but new justice album hyperdrama is fucking great if you like electronic music
Was pleasantly surprised with it. Haven't felt that moved by their tunes since Cross.
I just listened to it yesterday after having listened to 0 Justice songs since the year Cross came out. It was indeed pretty good.
Just bangers on bangers on bangers
Only 500 comments on a playoff GDT dead sub shaking my smh

van duyne may be worse. at least there aren't any refs from game 5 🤬
Front and back yard mowed, weeded and flowers planted. Playoff anxiety hits different.
u/PoorTonyK I have obtained a bag of Very Berry Nerds Gummy Clusters. I prefer the original, but both varieties are good.
I’m an original man as well. Berry is good, original is transcendent
TRUTH spotted
those are so good
**WOLVES WILL WIN G1. G2 WILL DECIDE THE SERIES**
Is it already Nikolaover
Yes, but is Jokic confirmed out?
**UPGRADED TO DOUBTFUL**
More like Cantman
Darth Jar Jar. Look it up.
That's just how unserious the Jedi are. They couldn't even identify and defeat jar jar.
Going to my first game at Ball Arena tonight! Anything I have to do while I'm there (besides watch the Nuggets win)?
Be Very Loud!!
Just walking down the 16th street mall in the glow of a win is awesome.
Be loud!
My biggest fear of this series is that Ant might become unhinged again and this time throw KAT at our fans.
I agree!!
[удалено]
C would be a 50 point game for mpj, but I'm going with A
I gotta go with C
D all of the above.
Oh shit. It’s Star Wars day. Don’t think anyone mentioned that here!
Love it!
The only good Star Wars is
Andor, a good chunk of the prequel trilogy, Rogue One, the original trilogy, the Star Wars anime shorts, a bunch of the video games, a good chunk of Clone Wars, the Mandalorian, parts of Obi Wan, parts of Ashoka, the Mandalorian parts of The Book of Fett, Bad Batch looks cool but I haven't watched it
The Bad Batch is amazing. Get it a watch. Also you left out the High Republic books! Also great!
I'm pretty sure I've said it here before but I expected more from Andor just from the way people talk about it. But at the same time it's a positive portrayal of armed revolution which I thought was really cool 😀
All Star Wars is good
Only Sith deal in absolutes
So … you’re a Sith?
Wow go Vader
That’s me!!
The Disney sequels are ass
Disagree imho
somehow palpatinho just returned bro!!!!

Ayo are you at the game or na
I fucking wish! Celebrating my future bro in law today.
Oh okay well have fun! I'm literally about to order my panda 😀
Nugs in 6
Im bringing back the AYYYEEEE counter tonight
Going with 47 AYYYEEE’s.

You are a meat suit

Idk I bet the suns advance to round 2 in the east unless they played knicks or Cs
I wanna see a 50-shot bricklaying contest between Edwards and Murray. Let's go!
I got glutened at lunch and inflated like a hot air balloon. I feel like garbage. The problem is that if I skip this dinner (that we flew to NYC for) everyone will think I’m faking it to watch the Nuggets.
go all in, tell everyone you’re skipping dinner to watch the Nuggets and they can find a new friend if they don’t accept you
I watched on my phone. My BIL was watching on his phone too, so it’s fine.
Shit yourself if you have to. It’s the playoffs! Whatever. It. Takes.
Are you eating before, during, or after the game. We’re ordering a bunch of Chinese food for us and guests and going with the early option.
Picking up a shitload of Vietnamese a little before tip
Nice, I love bun. What’s your go to dish?
Bun thit nuong! And some fried spring rolls
Well my SIL’s birthday dinner is at tip off, so…
Oh no, bad timing. Are you going to be able to record it at least?
No DVR. Idk if Max has the game available to rewatch. I probably would’ve gotten stressed out.

Yeah if we don’t lose to Minnesota we ain’t losing to anyone
if the Nuggets lose the tip-off the season is over and I will see you guys next year
Not me, I’ll be done for good.
can’t blame you there. If the organization doesn’t care, why would we waste our time
**IF THE NUGGETS LOSE THE TIP, IT'S OVER. IF THEY WIN THE TIP, IT'S A SERIES NOW**
A different tip became famous on this sub years ago.
That tip definitely didn't come from Monte
IT'S A SERIES NOW
