    The NBA is PRAYING TO GOD that Anthony Edwards wins the championship this year. A American, who has a personality (unlike Tatum) without the ridiculousness (unlike Ja and Zion) who's easily marketable, and would have won with one of the leagues small market teams, thats a dream come true for them. Ant wins and he's a made man forever, even if he never wins again.

The nuggets really won vs the Lakers because of the rebounding battle and the lakers not being able to sustain their leads. Timberwolves have better defense, rebounding, and is a younger and fresher team than the lakers and nuggets. There's nothing to suggest the nuggets were holding back or have another gear to go into.

    How is Minnesota not the favorite against Denver if Minnesota has Anthony Edward, who is a stud superstar, Karl Anthony Towns, who is an absolute stud, Rudy Gobert who is going to be a defensive player of the year, top defensive team in the nba, coach of the year finalist coach finch, and 6th man of the year Naz Reid. It's so obvious that Minnesota is the favorite against Denver.

      ​@chriskuhn6130 Today is May 5th, 2024. The timberwolves win game 1 against the nuggets 106 - 99. Somebody has got to say this, so I'm gonna say it!. Please do not underestimate Anthony Edward's and the timberwolves. Did you saw what the timberwolves did to the nuggets today?! Yeah, why don't you take your L out the door?

      @DanielJimenez-mi5zm Yessir, I did see it, and as I said with the Lakers, may the best team win. I respect the Twolves, great team. I have faith in my yeah, but anyone can be wrong, I would guess you agree on that point. Go good basketball first and foremost. They beat us fair and square, I hope you're have a good night!

    People are underestimating the Nuggets and Joker. Watch they won’t call fouls on him but the man and the Nuggets are the next dynasty in the NBA
