If ANT and the wolves pull it off all credit to them man.
Imagine facing the defending champs and their 3x MVP in his prime at their place for a game 7…
It's kinda crazy they're both 1-2 at home this series. I wonder how many times that's happened
It’s only happened twice according to basketball reference.
On both occasions, the higher seeded team won the final home game. Once in 1994 (Phoenix lost to Houston) and once in 2005 (Houston lost to Dallas).
Let’s goooooooo Nuggets!

i’m not even a Nuggets fan but why you hating? all they need is a good scoring / defensive wing. if they had last years Bruce Brown they probably would’ve won

first off, jokic isn’t the reason they lost. two, you’re so cringe. you’re the definition of Mr. Rep. 3rd, did you even watch the game or are you just chatting?
As a twolf this is not a good look dude.
Flair up lol
I can’t decide if them already winning 2 in Denver is a good or bad thing. I mean, it doesn’t seem likely that the NBA champs lose three games on Home Court, but then again they’ve already lost twice, so who the fuck knows!
Edit; I know. Nuggets will face Dallas on Wednesday night.
It doesn’t help confidence that the Nuggs only win at home was the one where the Wolves starting PG was out.
We won two on the road with their starting PG playing
Yeah exactly lol there is no fucking way to call this game. Just gotta watch this shit
Lost both at home with their starting PG playing
If the next series starts already on Wednesday, half of Timber's roster will be choosing Cancun instead.
Who's roster?
I’d say that’s more reason to think they wouldn’t lose tonight. No way they lose at home 3 times within the same series
And if they do, they have no business advancing anyways
Crossing fingers now
What in the fuck is a comfortable game 7?
One where we don’t get blown out in game 6 by 45 pts
100%.
Those were all free wins handed to them by the refs. Ask many of our fans.
I can't even read crap here anymore. I've been a bit of a homer at times. But I can't stand some of this going so far and our fans wanting help from the refs today. I don't want it. I don't want to see a game like that.
Nuggs in 7 because they took it. Not because the refs saved Nuggs ass today. Stand up to those great defenders and take it.
False, those games were lost due to lack of effort and lack of confidence. Let’s hope Game 6 doesn’t carry over to 7
Guess you guys won’t have to worry about winning
I fear the Nuggets might have enough outside their starting 5.
Good thing their starting 5 going to play 45 minutes this game
They're gonna have too. Regardless of what happens tonight they can't bring this same team back next year.
Braun is fine, starting 5 is best in league imo. One more year for pwat and its really just about finding someone better than j holiday/reggie jackson. We only run an 8 man rotation in playoffs anyways
I agree with having the best starting five in the league but they need another scorer. I dunno who that is or who they can get this off-season but they need someone. And also Jokic needs a backup coming off the bench.
PWat and Braun are two players worth developing. Others should just be traded for players that are not selfish and have higher ball IQ. Nuggets need someone who can help Murray in his minutes.
i fear the nuggets might not have enough inside their starting five.
murray and mpj cannot be no shows tonight - murray especially. pressure's on the guy tonight.
I agree. I don't know why I have a bad feeling about tonight.
Tonight gonna be a legacy game for someone
Joker will need some more shooting if the team keeps playing poorly, he just gets triple and quadruple teamed

I like ant. GG. Failed troll attempt
After Game 6, I expect they lost any fear of the Nuggets they may have had. Deservedly so. If the Nuggets pull it together and win this year, this'll be one of the sloppiest, ass out finals runs in history.
We pulled of three straight dominant wins after getting blown out at home in game 2. This feels like a series where the previous games are meaningless
Yeah a 45 blowout in Game 6 was not the way you wanted to lose.
I mean to be fair, we gave up abut 5 min into the 3rd
I thought we gave up after that 9/2 run in the first. brick after brick on wide open shots and passing out of floaters for turnovers is not focused basketball
That’s even worse! Gave up in Q3 of game 6???
It was over lol. Why risk injury and exhaust yourself for a game that’s over
If it was over by Q3, that’s baaaaad going into Game 7. Not a good feeling
I love how all you do is post about how our players aren’t good enough lol. Why do you even watch this team?
hes just a hater
I love how I’m the only one holding players accountable for their poor play while you celebrate them playing like trash and pretend it’s going great!
It's called conserving energy. The team knew this was going to game 7. It's a series and the effort it would have taken to eliminate MIN at home wasn't worth it.
It’s called quitting. Once you open that can of worms and allow players to quit, it’s a slippery slope. Not the right message at all
Beat them 3 times in a row after the last time we dropped games to them in a way we didn't want to.
Didn’t get blown out by 45 points last time
07 Celtics went 16-10, that's about as sloppy as it gets
You're missing the 1988 lakers who had like 4 series go 7 games. I wouldn't call that run sloppy since they were running on experience, but still.
Going up two -zero probably did that. There is no fear factor for either team
None of this matters at all if we win.
Are MIN going to celebrate the fact that they won with +40 points in a game 6 when we beat them in game 7? I think not.
Sorry but that's not true. They escaped elimination at home from the reigning champs and forced a game 7. For a team with a 22 year old superstar-in-the-making that's something you can build around and be excited about.
This aged wonderfully.
This did not age well…
I mean, I'd say it aged fine. He said if they pull it off then all credit to them.
We deserve to lose if we end up losing. Blowing a double digit lead at halftime, can't buy a damn bucket, shooting shots early in the shot clock and allowing their bench players to outplay us so far, WTF Nuggets, let's win this.
Can’t believe I’m watching them Blow it smh
Yup, we suck, can't close out games, didn't take the series 100% serious, got our butts whooped and it's not looking great to close out the game.
We deserve to lose.
GG, terrible postseason for Nuggets, flaws everywhere, lucky we beat the Lakers, they couldn't take advantage of our slow starts but the T-Wolves did and they deserve to move onto the next round.
Yeah that would be CRAZY
Downvoted just for susperstitiousness
We are fans. Nothing we say matters
Sorry, had to downvote that too
after beating Denver by 45 i think they know they can do it but game 7s are different and the lights might be too bright for some. Also with how Jamal has been playing and if the other don't step up, the MV3 can win on his own if they triple and quadruple team him every play
If we play nuggets basketball. We will be ok.
We all know how Denver plays when they play at full potential.
If Murray, MPJ step up. We got this.
They beat us by 45 points. I won’t feel good about this game until the last second ticks off the clock and we’re still in the lead. This Timberwolves team ain’t no joke.
Hell ya.
Well you said it. Credit to them
After beating them by almost 50 and winning twice in Denver already, it’s a pretty good scenario for them
You can never count the nuggets out though.
Well this aged like milk
The last 6 games are irrelevant
Just like the season habit of losing big leads in the second half? Brutal man
All you can do in that situation. A tip of the hat then go cry somewhere.
I’m happy you lost :)
Whoever goes, Get loud!
Who you blew out of the water just days ago... Let's go Nuggets, but please be locked in from the start to the end!
Lets fuckin go Nuggets!
Hell if they beat us I’ll be rooting for them from afar aka too depressed to watch anymore of the playoffs
Somehow KAT did it instead...
Nuggets shitting the bed early

They already pulled off 2/3 in Denver. It’s not a comfortable game 7
