The new tv wall setup is starting to take place. That's 250" of NBA. Probably 1/4 of what Kendra Lust has had, if that

Still can't get it out of my head.  Once I saw it, I couldn't unsee it:

Mike Malone is lucky he didn’t stare at the ref for a tech

And KAT just flattened Murray. That's an offensive foul.

Where I come from that was a love tap.

Joker fouled kat on the baseline drive

Joker fouled ant just now.


K I’m done lmao

Man the garden kicks ass in the playoffs

I would very much like to see a playoff game there. And Brunson is an animal.

I went to game 3 of the 1999 finals when the spurs played the Knicks in the garden. It was pretty awesome even though the spurs lost that one. The refs were just as horrible that night as they were tonight. I generally hate the nba ref conspiracy theories, but there was a reason Dick Bavetta was called Dick the Knick, and sure as shit he called that game which was the only one the spurs lost that series.

I believe it was the only game San Antonio lost all playoffs. 

*They lost 2 - beat Minny 3-1 in r1.

36-20 lead with no gobert for a team that’s never been here before. wolves look scary right now.

Glen Taylor built this team and deserves all the credit.

Maybe, just maybe next January, when people start their usual talking about how no one in the league plays defense anymore and how it doesn't matter in today's NBA, we can remember what happens every year in the playoffs.

If it came from their bench, it was probably a maxi pad. There are playing like pussies tonight. 

Tbf they appear to be playing a genetically engineered amalgamation of MJ, Kobe and LeBron.

what’s crazy is that it feels like there is zero chance of a second half comeback.

actually it’s not crazy at all lol, wolves have already extended their lead by five since i typed this. denver has been bludgeoned to death in two quarters time.

Murray has a money gesture to the ref, threw a heat or maxi pad onto the court while it was playing, clapping in the refs faces….0 Ts

He should have 2 suspensions incoming for the first 2 acts

This isn’t even the same sport that we saw from October to January. 

And Murray has to be punished for that. That’s ridiculous and embarrassing.

I get that playoff basketball is different. But Minnesota was #1 on defense by a wide margin this season. Teams who advance in the playoffs tend to be top tier. Denver is the only team that I can think of that won a championship as an outside the top 10 defense (they were #4 in the playoffs). A year of forming habits, developing trust and chemistry, and building a foundation that you can then hopefully dial up to 11 in May.

On my way home I was listening to Simmons/Rusillo from yesterday and Simmons throws out there that Minny is +550 to sweep. He makes the case as to maybe why it could potentially happen - citing stuff like MJ against the Pistons in '91, Detroit against Shaq/Kobe in '04, Spurs/Heat '14 - these series where it just kind of snowballs out of nowhere. 

My reaction was obviously - that's fucking ridiculous - Denver isn't getting swept. Russillo was polite but basically felt the same way. 

Then I get home, flip the TV on and sit down to this shit.

 Eh. Lot of noise in the metrics last year because the Nuggets took off like 6 weeks. This year I think they finished 9th in D?  The Nuggets defense is like 10th with a top 3 offense

I legit cannot remember a better defensive performance. And Minnesota is missing their best defensive player. 

this is the basketball version of the 2000’s ravens. just physically dominant, fast, and swarming. there’s no room to breathe.

Denver played with fire all last series against the Lakers. Won 4-1 but the Lakers looked like the better team most that series. Lakers blew some huge leads and Murray won a few games on buzzer beaters. If the Lakers had just a little more in the tank talent wise, they easily win that series. Denver has looked way off these playoffs. Minnesota isn't fucking around right now.
