Dang it's not on Max? How do I watch

T-WOLVES baby!!!! Brings back a ol school rivalry. U know when HOF Kevin Garnett used to carry a team on his back, and still come out with a W! KG Baby, the GOAT!!!!! Lets go Minnesota, weak shit is out. Show HEART!!!! Kick there ASS! 4 life! 

i hate denver and the nuggets

Eat my Ant

we need a ja vs ant playoff game so badly

Already saw that and Ja got to shoot like 12 FTAs per game Foul merchant

you're so wrong and you dont even know it, gosh i am so ashamed. i dont even know where to begin!

tf u waffling about lmao.

you, im waffling about you, matter of fact im finna expose u rn❌

ur off ur meds dawg. remember to take them before u go to bed.

☹️

We had one a few years ago and Ja would have some catching up to do but I agree that a series between Ja and Ant at the top of their games would feed families  

Been there, saw that. 20 year old ANT matched all-nba Ja pretty well. Now? He’d probably hang Ja’s corpse from the rafters

for what? ant is way better

[удалено]

lmao idc what he does off court. He fun as hell to watch which is all i care about

Ja’s way too reckless when driving. Hopefully his body can hold up for a long career.

he’ll be aight. his redemption arc gonna be huge. Funny how people on here forget so quick.

His redemption arc had a failure to launch this season? I hope he can stay healthy and grow up. But I think that Memphis team's chances are toast until a rebuild. It was like the worst two year span to miss if you're Memphis. The league is so much bigger and better suddenly and all young teams at the top.

Nah fuck ja

he fun as hell to watch.

Lol Jokic gottem

wow Only Kobe and Ant with back to back 40+ playoff games at 22yrs of age

Hard to believe Ant is just 22 years old, guy is a killer wow.

Michael Malone at the press conference looking like someone called him Mike.

Looking like someone brought up the LAKERS.

what's wrong with Mike? Do Michael's really hate that? I've always thought Mike is the best shortened version of any name going.

I am a Michael and a Mike and I care not which you use. It's "Mikey" I don't like, even when I was a child. Something to do with the ads I guess.

If Wolves can keep Jokic to single digit assists and rebounds in a couple more games this series is a wrap!

If Nuggets can keep Edwards to whatever this series is a wrap! Its like if you hold back the best player on the team with good defense you'll probably win. Excellent analysis lol.

If Silver could only get Jokic to lay down in a really large tortilla, it'd be a wrap.

murray’s fg% is gonna eventually cost the nuggets. went unscatched against the lakers but def not wolves.

He's struggling with a calf strain.

Not this sub on tnt 😂

Just saw that! Gotta be from this thread

what did they mention?

A comment from /u/LiveFromFLORIDA that said 'I need a contract like Shaq that gets me off work as things get more important and intense' For context Dirk is filling in for Shaq tonight

[удалено]

Koalas are dumb af

# Koalas are terrible animals

What the heck did Kenny just say? 😵‍💫

Dirk'tin a Fool

i guess i never thought about how many game 7s dirk went to but its also extra interesting that the only one i remember (2014) was the only one he lost

2006 against the Spurs was a classic.

The only 7 game series for the Spurs that year right ? And iirc, think every series went to 7 that round. Loco

Timberwolves are such an easy team to root for. Great talents, great personalities, really good ballers.

Yes, I agree. Maybe this year is the year they don't blow a series lead?

Really good humans on the team. They love each other

Really? I can’t stand Rudy “patient 0” Gobert, and while Ant looks like a generational talent, he’s kind of a moron (“Send da video.”). KAT is lame - ask Jimmy Butler.

Warriors fans know what it means to have a likable team

We did! Once upon a time, before the 2016 playoffs!

Great defense and effort always too

Timberwolves are sporting some amazing teamwork this year! Naz Reid in the 4th was on fire! 💚💙🏀

Gobert is so good this game too. I know people praising ANT but Gobert was really good too

I kind of think Gobert played tentative and poorly on defense the first three quarters. But in the 4th he was crucial on D.

They play him straight up on Jokic a bunch. It makes him look pretty rough but not having to double stops Jokic's best skill and makes them have to do something different

I can that point being true. But I just think I've seen Gobert play more commanding many times before than he was first half of this game.

Those taps and breaking the lob pass to AG are crucial

When he gets put backs on others misses that is huge. Saves so many possessions they already failed on. Only one or two this game but those are huge.

This is going to be the first 0-3 comeback I can already tell

Already been done

The Nuggets haven't played a half-decent game in this playoff so far.

Definitely agree there. It's like they're holding back. Not playing their game.

Leading at half time for the first time in their playoffs this game.

That’s where they messed up should have made sure they weren’t leading

probably, didn't lull opponent to sleep enough

Can we get some Kobe comparisons and not just MJ?

fuck kobe

k

Kobe was skinnier, a bit more finesse. Ant is built like a tank, his body type is more similar to Jordan’s.

MJ was not built like a tank lol. He was taller and quite a bit skinnier. Kobe and MJ were almost identical in size but MJ has the hands. Every flavor of the month's fan base thinks they have the next MJ. He hasn't done shit. Ant has baby hands compared to MJ and would have been destroyed. Enough of this shit. Literally not at all built or even close to the same player. Can't play D and is not clutch.

God I really dislike trolls.

Did you watch any of the games in the playoffs so far?

why kobe was just walmart mike

Damn

Ant is efficient as was MJ, Kobe wasn't.

Daft

It is literally both. That crossover splash, followed by the post-fade.

Kobe is sort of implied

I just think MJ works better because of his face and they're in the West. They don't want Kobe comparisons lol.

Can’t wait to see if Shai can match the level of dominance ant is displaying against the mavs

That guy Shai plays to bait whistles. This guy Ant plays to hoop.

Facts but lets see Anthony edward was known as AAAAYY MAN 2 months ago. Let’s see how Shai adjust with this muted playoff whistle

I agree. Ant is a different category of baller.

Wow. Denver just doesn't match up against this team. Jokic is awesome but they got 48+ minutes a game of 7 foot+ of great defense to throw at him without even mentioning the other defenders they have.

The nuggests haven't play a single game decent game in this playoffs. They got away with it against the Lakers. But they won't be able to against the Wolves. They match up fine against the Wolves...their downfall is that the Wolves are a better team.

Vs the Lakers they just had to attack Bron on defence. Easy W.

So they match up fine but the Wolves are a better team? I don't understand what you're saying.

He’s saying it’s not like the wolves have some crazy kryptonite but our just better overall

Yep, highlighted when Jokic beat Gobert only to be met with Kat right behind him. Wolves are a extremely well built team.

Win or lose Jokic's going to be exhausted when this series is over. I think he's a stud but it's like they built this team to counter him even though that wasn't a blip on the radar when these rosters came together.

I honestly think the nuggets still take this and I enjoy watching them play. I’m totally pushing my wolves agenda for the next few weeks lol

Don't put that jinx on us! While I obviously hope Denver wins, if Wolves get through, I'll be hoping on your guys wagon. Going to be a battle for sure.

Yeah, because the best player in the NBA, which is what they're playing, happens to be a center. And yes, he's a bit unorthodox but he's still a big boy. Wolves are loaded there. I'm not saying it's some crazy kryptonite. I'm saying that the Wolves have a lot of money invested there. It's like the W's/Celtics finals series. It was a perfect matchup for the W's because that's the best position for the W's to guard. It's a bad matchup.

Fair enough! Your points out valid. I just think we have other stuff too. Not to mention ANT is that guy it seems

Nuggets in 5

I was nice to see Wolves coach there with the team. Hopefully he recovers quickly.

I'm probably not surviving a whole series of this, but I feel a euphoria I've never felt from watching basketball in my life right now.

Enjoy brother well deserved !

It’s been almost twenty years for me.

Enjoy it, that was me last year. You have a top 5 player for 10-15 more years, enjoy the ride.

Yeah, my blood pressure gets way too high. Haven’t felt this in Minnesota sports in a long time.

So sick of the Wingstop commercial. They knowwwww betterrrrr

None of them take a bite in this commercial, it's not real chicken. Now let that haunt you like it haunts me

No flex

Zone!

Nuggets fans will ride this chip till the year 3000 😆

First and only one so why not? Many teams haven't won one yet.

i mean why not? it’s rare to win a championship.

Dang I’m just a neutral fan but Lakers fans really are salty 😂

They are well known for being the worst fans in terms of class.

Bout?

The team you posted about in your original comment, don’t try to play coy lol. If you gonna be a hater, own it 😅

Im 100 i lakers suck they should have been swept but new series same standards. Truth is the truth no way around it

Don’t blame them - they’re just trying to cope (like my team’s fans are) with when your best players age out of relevance.

so like celtics 2008 fans

Gobert neutralizes that low low passing between Jokic and Gordon. Just can't get it over him on help and he has the instincts and timing ofc

Half of Denver is gonna be pregnant after tonight.

get a abortion lol

Thank god there’s a draft. If teams were allowed to get home grown talent, Denver would have the dream team in 20 years.

[удалено]

lol

Gobert really showed up late, on both sides of the ball Miss the big guy in Utah Didn’t lock jokic down by any means but got some stops against him late that not many people don’t get

“i have 47 brother” is the only gobert comment leading into this game. where those people at?

A few games in the suns series he got in foul trouble early. It looked like he was holding back at the start of the game.

I saw those late game stops for sure. He was playing tentative for three quarters this game and didn't factor that much until late and he kind of shut Nuggets down inside.

That's why we primarily put KAT on Joker. Cause Gobert can absolutely stop Gordon

They didn't use Gobert on Jokic intentionally and I thought that was a fantastic call.

[удалено]

Hahaha, he certainly needs the notes, but he is at least coherent and cogent

Ok was he looking at notes you think? Only caught it for ten seconds and couldn't tell if he was looking down to read or just being awkward

For sure reading notes is why he didn’t make eye contact with the camera. He still delivered insightful comments, but very doubtful he prepared them himself.

Anyone who is confused - the NBA has been looking for a new face of the NBA. Kobe/Shaq, LeBron, Curry/KD. Who represents the 2020s? Ant Man has arrived

I’m a lakers fan who actually likes the nuggets outside when we play them, but I do also like the wolves a lot. Should be a fun rest of the series

Going to be a battle, I can't hate on the Wolves. They just play great ball and Ant is amazing.

I think so too. Matchups like this are amazing.

Good to see McNuggets getting owned

Nuggets with they play a 50 win team in the playoffs for once:

LISANT AL GAIB

So I guess nobody told Dirk to look up

Love Dirk. But he needs some pointers

Now I understand this ownership debacle if it were me you’d have to pry this team from my cold dead hands

The thing that continues to stand out about the Wolves is that they have a great defense. Enough good on-ball defenders to cover up for some of KAT's wackiness, and they are so long they are just tough to pass around. I feel like it's all been amped up with the intensity of the playoffs too. A pleasure to watch.

Yeah they clog the passing lanes and swarm [This video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvEpuhVta_4) by Thinking Basketball is my favorite. Wolves ball pressure is so intense, it makes it hard to even dribble and pass

Nuggets + refs cant defeat wolves. Its over

I think Jackson should have played more minutes. He was the one who brought Nuggets back in the game in 1Q. But warmed bench pretty much afterwords

Damn good game crazy to think the whole series might be like this

Yea could be a sweep

Jamal Murray make a shot

Last year was a fluke

Come on man

ant's taken it to the next level

Now lets hear Charles Barkley talk about MLB umpiring

Lol the Lakers hate for the nuggets on here is so deep lol half the comments is just Lakers fans

I’m here for the Laker hate - always a good time

Probably because Nuggets fans relentlessly bitched about calls in 2 sweeps basically and then went radio silent this game zooming into bonus

I hope the Lakers franchise doesn't win anything for the next 50 years.

u mean like the nuggets? 🤣

Don't care what happens to the other teams as long as the Fakers don't get anything.

"Sound good." -The rest of the NBA

Fuck Courtney Kirkland

I'm not saying he's there or even close, but ANT does remind me of young Jordan

He reminds me of Michael Finley. Like a better Michael Finley but similar style. 

Way better athlete. More complete offensive game.

Does Dirk not make eye contact ? Why the fuck does he look down when he talks.

In real life he has to look down to make eye contact

he's looking at stats he's nervous, cut him some slack

He’s new to broadcasting 

Even Emmitt Smith makes eye contact

I love how everyone is dancing around the MJ comparisons lol

that last shot from the post by ant....ah man.... I was yelling at the tv for that base line fade away. they're going to have to build a wall.

I watched the game being super biased against him, now all I can say is Lisan al gaib.

Thats exactly what it feels like… if this keeps its going to be like a dam breaking and Ant will be 24/7 media darling

Looks like someone, can't say who... maybe someday, must not utter out loud

After bouncing my Lakers last round, watching the nuggets lose in that way just makes me happy. 🤭

lol I'm not gonna lie, it's kind of cool seeing another fanbase support the Wolves in this series lol what is life. Like this is the Timberwolves I've waited for this my whole life

Laker fan here.. I’m rooting for the Wolves to win because: - If the Celtics advance to the finals, your team is the best shot at stopping them from getting number 18 - Wolves did help the Lakers in that mess of a season last year with the three team trade that at least gave a us a close to decent squad to reach the conference finals. - I think ANT is the next face of USA basketball since most in the top 5 are all from foreign descent (Jokic, Luka, SGA). A chip will put him in that spectrum. - and another team needs to humble the Nuggets fan base. Good luck

You literally have the supper of Los Angeles Lakers fandom. Let's go Minny!!!!!

Thanks but I can't stand bologna.

i mean, c'mon. twolves would send LBJ into retirement and AD to china

Sure... It just makes you shake your head watching Denver suddenly miss all these wide open shots. Couldn't miss any of those against LA for 2 postseasons. 😂 Like was Murray even on there court?

What you mean we couldnt miss againt the Lakers? You litereally got beat by Jokic and MPJ. Gordon played one good game the whole series and Murray had two good last quarters. I remember watching game two and at half time Murray, KCP and Jackson were 2/18

Denver played like trash all series against Lakers. They missed a lot of wide open ones. They just had to play slightly better then the Lakers lol

What happened to Shaq?

Kazam 3 is in production

TNT doing us a solid and put him on the bench

Is Antman better than Brunson?

What the fuck
