Re: Playoffs discussion
Jokic misses the potential game-winner in the corner. More basketball.

Wow, the Nuggets just owning OKC to start OT.

Re: Playoffs discussion
OKC's offense doesn't look great right now. Hartenstein has taken the last couple shots. Tells you all you need to know.

Re: Playoffs discussion
Denver's got this. Wow. They're just the better team down the stretch here. They definitely played well in the 4th and OT. It would be tough to beat them when they play like this.
Re: Playoffs discussion
Yeah, I think most of us would, Leado. OkC is formidable, but we have handled Denver this year. Let's keep in mind though that Denver was at full strength only once in our 4 games this season, missing Gordon twice and Murray once. Also, they are a very different offense this season with Gordon making 44% of his treys compared to 29% last season...not as easy to put Rudy on him. Let's take care of the Warriors, hope this one goes 7, and get ready for whomever we face. We'll likely be the underdog in the series against either team, but I think we have a chance against either of them.
Re: Playoffs discussion
I want the Wolves to be the underdog at all time. This team does not do well when their egos get inflated. They do not know how to generate bulletin board material when they are supposed to win. The biggest stars always find a way to "get up" for an opponent. Ant has swagger, but hasn't found that next level. Maybe he needs to act like his character Kermit when they are favored!

Brunson is shooting 41.9% from the field. Hali 30% from three and had 4 points yesterday. Mitchell shooting just 22.5% from three against Indiana. Tatum is shooting 39.4% from the field, and 32% from three. SGA 43.6% from the field and 26.2% from three. Joker is shooting 41.3% from the field and 20% from three against OKC.DNatagal wrote: ↑Sat May 10, 2025 8:10 am I want the Wolves to be the underdog at all time.

Re: Playoffs discussion
Interesting. It's the era of great teams, coaching, and cohesion. A superstar, even if playing really well, just isn't enough without a TON of help. By the same token, as long as the superstar is drawing the best defender, doubles, etc. he can have an off game and it gives others the matchups and space to score. Jaden and Julius have been big-time beneficiaries of Ant's gravity IMO.rapsuperstar31 wrote: ↑Sat May 10, 2025 10:57 amBrunson is shooting 41.9% from the field.

Re: Playoffs discussion
This might have sounded crazy when the playoffs started but the field is wide open at this moment. The chip is there for the taking if the Wolves want.
