For sure, I was excited to watch the game today, now I'm thinking I'm better off not.

Gordon is going to give it a try

I agree.
While the Wolves have a well earned reputation of inconsistency, the fact is that problem hasn't existed in the first round.

They're currently a rather astonishing 10 and 2 in the first round since 2024

"Denver in 5" guy agrees with both of you...the Nuggets looked like a beaten-down team on the bench at the end of the game.

Still far from over, of course, but I'm asking myself "when are you ever going to learn that this team is totally different post-season than they are during the regular season?" I generally think of myself as an optimist when it comes to the Wolves, but I thought the Suns would easily take care of us two years ago, and I wasn't optimistic about the Lakers series last year either. But both were easy wins. Some of the names have changed over three years, but Ant/Rudy/Jaden/Mike have yet to let us down in round one of the playoffs. Let's hope they do it again.

Not saying the series is over and we are a regular season snoozer of a team the last few years. But I think favoring Denver in this series was logical. We were so bad and they were so good (winning 12 straight), what kind of evidence did we have to think we could do a complete 180 overnight basically? The only thing was the last two years where we decided it was playoff time so we decided to try.

Somehow we bounced to a 25-26 Wolves unseen level these last two games. But I did always think, we were not playing anywhere close to our potential either all year. Hence the Fire Finch bandwagon I hopped on.

This is the ultimate of statement games though. We were up on Denver two years ago and lost 3 straight, so you better damn well remember that and keep your foot on the gas. And as we know with this team, they sometimes too often haven't. Win this game and Denver is cooked. You lose this though, now it's back in Denvers favor. So this is a huge game.

That's not good.

Oh, no

Oh my God no

We just witnessed Donte DiVincenzo's last shot attempt as a Wolf.

Yup. Sucks.

Cmon Jaden

Donte's injury and Ant"s ineffectiveness have taken the buzz our of the arena, and this board. Still up 1 but not feeling good.
