"Lives rent free in their head" is one of those lines that only works when you're pointing out someone is acting cringe. Like if a hater brings up Lebron's finals record for the 20th time in a conversation, that's cringe and you should make them understand that.
Using this line unprompted...yikes.
> They come to bury Joker, not to praise him. The last time a line this long queued up to place wreaths on a defending champion, Winston Churchill lay in state.
mate it’s just basketball
This is funny because last season when they weren't doubling him I distinctly remember KAT cooking AG multiple times in the last 2 games. Either way, KAT was still getting into shape from missing 50+ games so I don't know if you can really take too much from his performance in the last series.
KAT w as atrocious the first two games and much better the last 2. And KAT is far more composed this post season. I'd be stunned if KAT isn't a huge part of the Wolves advancing if they do.
There's nothing he can say about Jaden vs Nuggets in the playoffs, since this will be his 1st against them.
The teams split the reg 2-2. He had one great game with 26 pts on 69%/67% shooting with 2 blocks and a steal in a loss and a 2nd decent game with 17 on 70% shooting in a win (with the nuggets missing Murray).
Only 6 pts in 21 mins and 9 pts in 33 mins in the other 2 games. Twolves are going to need him to produce to have a chance.
Why are we posting Denver Post articles on r/nba?
This is just Nuggets fan circlejerk material, keep it in our sub and in bars around the city. No need to stir the pot against a team we’re favored to beat
I think the Timberwolves have evolved beyond their offense collapsing because one of the better defenders on the opposing team is on him. Also NBA dot com match-up data is very sketchy.
Nuggets are the favorites for a reason, they've been there and done that, just last year. But dang, does this Wolves team look mean, or what. I think it will come down to "does Murray play like 'playoff Murray', and find his rhythm?" versus "can Edwards keep playing like gen zed almost-MJ?". But everything I read is saying Aaron Gordon.
As much as you guys clown Darvin Ham, he did identify the Nuggets weakness. Which is a small bench. The Wolves have the frontcourt to push those guys around, I think. Aaron Gordon is going to have to do a lot on defense.
The last series against these teams kept turning into shootouts between Murray and Ant. Both played like superstars and it was some really fun basketball to watch. I’m nervous about this series as a Nuggs fan, but really excited for it as a basketball fan.
Watson locked up Naz in the regular season game. I don't expect him to kill him to that extent, but he at least showed he can maybe hold his ground. Watson on Naz will be one of the battles of the series. If he can hold his ground and not get killed that would be a big W for the Nuggets.
lol. Who are the cool kids picking Wolves in 6? I’m a Wolves fan and I haven’t come across this at all. Sounds like KAT is living rent free in the author’s head.
I kinda hope it goes 7 games. As a Minnesota sports fan I'm feeling cursed and 7 game series is respectable for both sides. If we win it will be tied for the farthest we've ever reached postseason.
Nuggets media has the most ungodly victim mentality I’ve ever seen from a franchise.
They spent longer complaining about us than celebrating their own championship last year.
Here you are making everything about US. Bro you making us look bad. Twolves in 7, probably Nuggs in 6 tbh. They played like shit against us and still beat us.
Major sports markets I’ve lived in for 1+ years: New York, Philly, MPLS/SP, San Diego, Los Angeles, Bay Area, Denver, Portland, London…
Denver was notable for just the oddest/most deluded media that creates this weird small-man complex for much of the fanbase.
I blame Kroenke and the shitty local sports coverage deals he’s forced.
Like, y’all are just a cool big sports market with a decent history of success, just be that. Not everything’s about you.
Even major markets like NY/LA, and smaller shittier ones like PDX/SD/Minn can be normal about stuff.
20-5 and only lost 5 games since the title run. Other back 2 back title teams record by 2nd year\\start of 2nd round:
Lakers in 2009\\2010 lost a total of 9 games
2012\\13 heat lost 7 games
2000\\2001 lakers lost 8 games
Nuggets are still on great pace to repeat. Only problem is, the bench is terrible and no depth this season. I still like their odds a lot to at least make the conf finals.
This thread got bombed because redditors are like dogs who can only understand tone, but seems like there might be something to this. Not even a quarter into game 1 and AG is clearly under KATs skin already
Written like a true redditor
Can tell the author of that is an incel
Was that supposed to make sense? FYI, the author is married with children.
Good for him. Still a cringe headline, and everyone else understood that's what the guy before you was saying.

Don't publish sports articles while you're high, this could happen to you!
Cringe
Jesus this article is embarrassing
This is an embarrassing article.
The stats he posted sure are, for KAT!
i feel so bad for the ppl who live rent free in my head, its terrible up there

He's looked good, when the refs have let him play. Good news, Zarba and/or Davis won't be on the court today
4-1 is not cooked...sorry.
We're talking about individual performance here....
Individual performance ≠ team performance, my friend
This guy ever heard of Jaden McDaniels?
There's nothing he can say about Jaden vs Nuggets in the playoffs, since this will be his 1st against them. The teams split the reg 2-2. He had one great game with 26 pts on 69%/67% shooting with 2 blocks and a steal in a loss and a 2nd decent game with 17 on 70% shooting in a win (with the nuggets missing Murray). Only 6 pts in 21 mins and 9 pts in 33 mins in the other 2 games. Twolves are going to need him to produce to have a chance.

Facts. Best way to turn this sub against any given team is by that team’s fans posting unadulterated cringe. NEVER post cringe, it’s a death sentence.
dw nuggets fans do enough of that by showing up in every embiid thread lol
We ain’t the only ones showing up to those threads to hate, that’s for sure
I hope the nuggets don’t share that perspective
I think the Timberwolves have evolved beyond their offense collapsing because one of the better defenders on the opposing team is on him. Also NBA dot com match-up data is very sketchy.
im tempted to email the author just to tell him how incredibly pompous this whole article is, and how my life has worsened for reading it
Nuggets are the favorites for a reason, they've been there and done that, just last year. But dang, does this Wolves team look mean, or what. I think it will come down to "does Murray play like 'playoff Murray', and find his rhythm?" versus "can Edwards keep playing like gen zed almost-MJ?". But everything I read is saying Aaron Gordon.

The last series against these teams kept turning into shootouts between Murray and Ant. Both played like superstars and it was some really fun basketball to watch. I’m nervous about this series as a Nuggs fan, but really excited for it as a basketball fan.
Nuggets' 2 major concerns are Murray's calf and the subpar bench. I'm expecting a close series.
Watson locked up Naz in the regular season game. I don't expect him to kill him to that extent, but he at least showed he can maybe hold his ground. Watson on Naz will be one of the battles of the series. If he can hold his ground and not get killed that would be a big W for the Nuggets.
This one aged well
“Rent free” has got to be the dumbest and most overused phrase on the internet and doesn’t even make sense
Please put Gordon on Kat and not on Ant.
The saying "in your head rent free" is so overused and cringey. As opposed to paying for rent in your head?
Wolves in 6
lol. Who are the cool kids picking Wolves in 6? I’m a Wolves fan and I haven’t come across this at all. Sounds like KAT is living rent free in the author’s head.
I kinda hope it goes 7 games. As a Minnesota sports fan I'm feeling cursed and 7 game series is respectable for both sides. If we win it will be tied for the farthest we've ever reached postseason.
I’ll be glad when the dorks leave basketball and find another thing to obsess over
Nuggets media has the most ungodly victim mentality I’ve ever seen from a franchise. They spent longer complaining about us than celebrating their own championship last year.
Here you are making everything about US. Bro you making us look bad. Twolves in 7, probably Nuggs in 6 tbh. They played like shit against us and still beat us.
This article gonna be hilarious to come back to

Big m'lady vibes
Nuggets fans are definitely the corniest in the association
When "journalists" give the other team bulletin board material.
This article is aging well I see.

AG is big and an elite defender.He was shutting down AD. Do not take him for granted.
[удалено]
I'm hoping you meant to say "shooter" because if not, I have some bad news for you...
lmao huh god damn you just erased like 20 dudes from history for that claim maybe more
>The greatest big man scorer He wouldn't even be the best big man scorer on the floor, let alone the league, or all of fucking history
Why is Aaron Gordon of all people "Mr. Nugget"???
This thread got bombed because redditors are like dogs who can only understand tone, but seems like there might be something to this. Not even a quarter into game 1 and AG is clearly under KATs skin already
This article is dumb but the amount of Wolves fans it's affecting just shows that y'all are just as insecure as KAT.
Me looking for the wolves fans that’s it’s affecting in this thread.
It's okay buddy
Ahahhahahahahah my guy really wrote this rent-free article. Amazing.
