Series Thread: 2) Nuggets vs 3) T'Wolves

[mr.hockey4242]

Seeing why Conley doesn’t win.

Absolutely gutless performance

 

[Picklerick 2.0]

Can’t? I believe they could if Zinger is not healthy if they play a great series. Of course it isn’t likely but that is every team. They would have a big advantage in the post and they play great defense. Tough matchup for Boston

Boston is a team that can really only beat themselves. They can definitely be rattled and beat themselves tho.

Did Ant and Murray so some Freaky Friday shit? Either that or Murray got tired of everyone clowning him for his shitty play this series. I’m just grateful he didn't let it go to him and he shook it off.

15 point lead at the half and I’m still nervous because I know Minnesota’s not gonna be this cold for the whole game.

Murray came to play tonight

A 3 seed that was predicted by no one to be in the WCF before the season or before the playoffs

Sports Illustrated picked them to finish 1st in the West and beat the Bucks in the finals

Yes they can. The wolves this season are very consistent when they have bad or good games. They can be very good and very bad for while games.

I mean murray is a bitch. And objectively would get his ass beat by the average fan.

But he’s also a big game killer. Guy always steps up.

“Bold predictions”

And given their rationale for both they picked Minnesota for a reason.

Not like they did this for San Antonio.

Again it’s a bold prediction haha

They weren’t supposed to be there. That’s the exact fucking reason it’s a bold prediction.

Can we at least try and be smart?

And once again they were already in position to be a top team and that’s why they were chosen for this article to go the extra mile to finish first and win it all, that’s the bold prediction.

Them being good wasn’t the bold prediction, people were expecting it what’s bold is like I said them going all the way.

They‘re not a team that “no one predicted to get out of the first round” as another poster here claimed.

How many offensive droughts can one team have in a game ?

No they weee pretty much unanimously picked to lose to the suns. Look at the series thread of that series.

And again; the comment was wolves were supposed to be here. You posting a bold prediction of them being here(or around it). Quite literally proves they weren’t supposed to be.

@mr.hockey4242

Here is an article referencing an ESPN season prediction where they said the Wolves were gonna finish with the second highest win total behind Memphis.

ESPN has ambitious prediction for Timberwolves’ season

ESPN's latest NBA projections include a highly ambitious prediction for the Minnesota Timberwolves' regular season in 2023-24.

Anywhere you look the Wolves were projected to be a top 3-5 team in the West this season they aren’t some rag tag bunch of nobodies who are somehow having a season no one saw coming.

 

[bksballer89]

Good challenge. Looks like a jump ball

 

[bksballer89]

Any article saying Memphis who entered the year without Ja for the first 25 games would be the best in the west is not an article worth reading

Dude holy fuck.

I’m not sure what you can’t grasp about this. But the wolves were not supposed to be in the WCF. This is not their window to win.

Or the thunder.

You can keep debating but you just look fucking dumber every time.

Memphis haha.

 

[Picklerick 2.0]

Playoff experience, as simple as that. All the wolves players are gonna delve on this and dedicate themselves to not letting it happen next year.

I love sports and playoffs in particular.

The down side is it brings out fucking morons in droves.

Right, I’m posting actual articles from people who are paid to do this and you’re going off your “feelings” that they weren’t supposed to be here.

Yeah I’m the one who looks fucking dumb.

And when did I bring up OKC? They took a jump no one saw coming this year, the Wolves who were well respected last year and only lost 4-1 in the first round because they didn’t have some of their star players we’re expected to be even better this year.
