Can’t see why Vando can’t be as good |
cuz mcdaniels shoots around league average from 3. his shot is not completely broken like vando's |
That's why when Minny had both of them. They kept McDaniels. And let Vando go. Even though Vando is the better defender.

The defensive on-ball pressure Minny puts on Murray. Compared to what we were able to do.
It is night and day.

Malone's thrown in the white flag. 41 points is a safe lead in the NBA

Sunday. Every time Denver has gotten their butt kicked this series. They've had a ton of timeto regroup. The scheduling is ... interesting.

Wolves coach has figured it out? I wish Ham was that smart. We had a good team too.

May 19th is the 20-year anniversary of Minnesota defeating Sacramento in Game 7 of the 03-04 Western Conference Semifinals.
May 19th is also Kevin Garnett’s birthday. |
C'mon Minny! |

2 points in the 4th quarter. Safe to say they are saving bodies for game 7. |

I give it a true 50-50 depending on how this game finishes.
I thought Denver’s 8 points in 30 seconds, or whatever it was, at the end of the second quarter in game 3 was a big momentum swinger. If Minny can maintain an 18+ point lead throughout game 6, then they swing the momentum back. |
After a 24-0 run by Minnesota, maybe I need to give Minnesota a 75% chance to win game 7. |

Nuggets had a bad shooting night. They'll do better at home.

I want Minny to win game 7.
But Denver will get favorable reffing at home. And I don't see Minny overcoming that.
I think Minny blew this series when they dropped games 3 and 4 at home.

Anyone feel like these playoffs are boring? Blowout after blowout. I can see that happening in the first round when matchups are 1v8 or 2v7…but beyond that…games should be closer than they have been.
Not really great to watch tbh |

Denver blew it when they dropped games 1 AND 2. I wasn't necessarily even surprised Minny took one game but two games?!
So now they both have to deal with the great equalizer, Game 7. Should be a fun one!

Well, since I found Kutt, a legal betting app in CA, I am betting the over/under and this playoffs has been the most exciting of my lifetime.  |

I predicted Wolves in 7. 
And then supposedly Lakers in 7 over Wolves in WCF had we taken the other route and Wolves eliminated Nuggets for us.

Lol that is the one bright spot for sure, but otherwise games haven’t been fun. I may be biased but the our series vs the nuggets was hands down the most exciting of the playoffs thus far |

Agreed. Knicks x 76ers was pretty great as well. |

The Wolves beat them by 35+ despite KAT having 10 points.
That is a good feeling they probably have right now.
KAT is going to need to really bring it in Game 7. They all will, I expect they'll get the best from the Nuggets.

Mr Mo changed jerseys. The Nuggets had a look of defeat on their faces tonight, Sunday is going to be a knockdown drag um out game. Denver has homecourt and acclimated advantage. Perk said Denver's gonna crowd Antman like a New York nightclub with a $2.00 well at happy hour. This is gonna be a coaching challenge. Who makes the best adjustments?

I was surprised that the Nuggets looked so listless in the close-out game. I would be equally as shocked if they don’t beat the brakes off the TWolves in game 7, in Denver.
