    A lot of people don't understand what they're watching with Jokic and the Nuggets. Denver plays a different style than the casuals are used to seeing, so they don't really get why they're such a great team, or why Jokic is an indisputable all time GOAT. They don't realize how lucky they are to get to see him play in his prime.

    At the 5:15 mark, Coach Malone having Aaron Gordon bring the ball upcourt 27 times and taking the pressure off Jamal and Nikola was something in which the Timberwolves had no answer. I wonder if in game 5 we will see any Wolves adjustments on that? There may be nothing they can successfully do about it. GO NUGGS!

    Everyone in the comments lying. Nobody seen Denver and Minnesota both losing both games at home. The way Minnesota did them the first 2 games i thought it would possibly be a sweep or 5 games.
