Hard to remember the narrative swinging so quickly on an NBA team. Two days ago, the Nuggs were an unstoppable force held together with the ultimate team chemistry. Now Jamal Murray and Mike Malone are completely unraveling, Ant is the face of the league, and the T-woofs might never be a betting underdog again.

Life comes at you fast.

Nugs v Wolves

W, N, W, N, W, W

Lakers should be up 3 to 2 right now. Nuggets don’t look like last year’s Nuggets. I got Wolves in 6. They look like they’re going to the finals.

@exlurker

I’m also down a dinner to Skip. I don’t see Wolves in 7 now but who knows. Denver is hustling on defense and moving the ball on offense. Wolves need to annoy Joker like in games 1 and 2.

Cavs got taken out by injuries. Still proud of them making it past the 1st round. Hopefully they can build on it next year.

I'm a neutral and i just find myself wanting to see Ant go the fuck off game 7. Just put one down on the twoofs +180, i don't even care if i lose, it's fun to root for

Same... no dog in the fight. Both teams are likeable imo. I do really like Jokic's game though. Good footwork, iq, and elite passing skills.

I'm happy as long as the mavs and celts don't take it.

Also becoming a huge fan of Ant...

Stoned watching this game and came to the conclusion that Kyrie is the Gino Iannucci of the NBA/basketball. I can just watch this guy jog back after converting a layup and it's entertaining. Okay I'm also drunk.

Man this second round is bonkers. Mavs won this one but OKC looks incredible for the future. Kyrie is now 14-0 in closeout games.

I hear you but there is no way they will win a seven game series against the wolves/nuggets and/or celtics. At least thats what I hope. OKC future looks bright, hope they keep egos in check and stay together. For to tonights game 7, I wonder which team will blow out the other. Or will we get that magical close close-out game?

I said Wolves in 6 so now I have to go 7. It’s basically can KAT outshoot Murray because we know Ant Man and the Joker will show.

I believe so. Seems like the stars are stars are always in  it. I watched a little NHL playoffs when the lightning won 2021? Ish. They're quite fun. Fast paced etc.

Can’t believe the Pacers sustained their unbelievable FG percentage throughout an entire game 7 on the road, just hats off to these fucking cunts because they were down 3-2 and came back really hard and it’s not easy to do in the NBA.

To put it in perspective they were shooting at 70 percent or better through most of the game which is insane, and it’s actually the best NBA playoff team shooting percentage in 25 years.

This series was billed by many as “winner gets destroyed by Boston in the ECF” but I really think Indiana has a great chance against the Celtics, Halliburton is a goddamn animal and Siakam is an absolute monster lately, they seriously have a better chance against Boston than most people think.

Knicks would have looked better at full strength but you can’t complain when it comes to guys getting hurt, gotta have the next guys step up and they just couldn’t do it when it counted most.

They’ll be a handful in the East next season with everyone healthy though, but hats off like I said Pacers wanted it more and kept executing at an unbelievable clip, fucking hate their goddamn guts still but you gotta recognize and respect their toughness and ability to consistently knock down shots especially threes which killed NY the whole series.

Stars beat Colorado in double OT to advance to the western conference finals. I was cheering them on hard because now all teams from Dallas have made a conference finals since the last time those trash ass cowboys sniffed a nfc championship game.

Fuckin A, good game by the T Wolves. Nugs didn’t have an answer in the second half, sucks to see but hoping they can bounce back next year with their core. Still happy they got a chip out of it but really thought they could get another.

Ant started slow but had the rest of the team to carry the scoring till he got hot.
