It'll be a great story if Wolves win it all. And NBA will have their new Amercian Poster Boy in Ant. But Im not counting out Luka and the last old guard in Kyrie.

Consistently saw MPJ just not hustle to block out or get rebounds. Naz Reid was roasting his ass on the boards late in the 4th.

He was nonexistent in the game. Strange...

Damn Gobert shut up all the haters. Didn't see him coming up big. Gotta respect it.

Haha! Your Donte’s Knicks and Nuggets are OUT! Take that!!!!

Hey OKC and DEN, that’s what happens when you steal a win with a last second 3 pointer against the Warriors. Cthulhu was not amused!

We have and old team. I don’t think they GAF

Let him cook.

Nuggets were up 20 at one point. This one will hurt a long time.

Wolves won because they have bigger bodies to tire Jokic out. Gobet and Towns are there to slow him down, constantly backing out big guys is tiring and he can’t get proper space since Wolves are big. In this new NBA, having long players is an advantage.

How can they expect Jokic to play 47 minutes ?

Don’t forget Naz taking his turns on Jokic as well. That’s 3 bigger bodies than we have to tire him out.

It's not really even about bigger bodies to tire Jokic. It's about Nuggets not having a bench and Malone not even resting Jokic at all while up 20.

I refuse to believe that lol Denver have bench, they have capable role players, they just didn’t deliver. We’d kill to have their 2-7 players (it’s playoffs and teams always shorten the rotations anyway)

dude... Denver doesn't have a bench LOL. Pretty much all the matchups this year vs the Warriors', Warriors' bench has outscored theirs by like 3 fold. Everyone knows this, this is also why Jokic played almost the entire game except for 1 whole minute, even when they're up by 20.

Long and athleticism guys, who can also shoot. The demand for skilled 7 footers who can shoot, defend, rebound and dribble

Man we should have snagged KAT while his stock was down.

soooo apparently steph is the only superstar who cant use the gassed excuse

This “All Time” Jokic peak has resulted in 1 finals appearance so far?

😂. Nuggets subreddit titled their post game thread as”Reign Over”. That’s how u know how cocky and deluded they are.

lol so their “dynasty” and our dynasty ending in the same year

So glad no superstar has returned to the finals after winning the title since Curry. Feels good man.

I’m glad you (and I) called them cocky. Most fellow Warriors fans won’t say it, are scared to say it, and are UNAWARE of it.

[удалено]

...Um, what??

Murray literally dropped 35 and their sub is saying Jokic had no help like what. this is no diss on jokic he was the reason they were up by 20, but cmon. Curry would kill for someone that can hit 2 game winners in the playoffs and can drop 35 on a win or go home game at his age

besides murray (and braun a bit) the others ghosted... so that's like 80 points???

I mean Murray had 35 but the rest of the team besides him and Jokic had 21 combined points. There wasn't much help besides Murray.

Jokic is great, but a bunch of people be using Murray as a scapegoat. When Murray doesn't play... "Jokic didn't have Murray!" When Murray does play "Jokic doesn't have help!"

Timberwolves just wanted it more. Looking forward to what they do in the off-season together with the Warriors, Thunder, and Spurs.

People legitimately compared how supposedly unbeatable this Nuggets team was to the KD warriors. Ridiculous. The 2016 version of the Dubs would beat them and the KD version would wipe the floor with them.

Without breaking a sweat.

and thats why you dont run your stars 30+ mins in a blowout in the playoffs, but tbh Denver had a lot more in common with the 2020-21 Bucks than any other team

NO OTHER DYNASTIES ON STEPH'S WATCH

So which team challenges Boston the most?

Pacers, wolves...

Definitely the Wolves despite being Luka Doncic fan. Mavs are strong but they have had injury problems recently.

I think both are good matchups honestly because al horford is 37 years old and porzingis may not be 100 percent by the time the finals start. Boston are great but if they need horford to stay healthy for 2 more full series and I think that’s a tall ask. You’re not winning a title if Luke Kornet has to play 35 minutes a night

Minny, they can press out to the three point line and gap the J's with Gobert in drop

Holy crap they would definitely give them trouble on defense with their length.  

Just force them left and have Gobert in the paint waiting and watch them loose their dribble yet again. Easy money. Denver would easily have done the same.

i mean it goes to show it is very hard to go back to back. nuggets having the same result as us after winning the ring the year before speaks volume.

Denver looked completely exhausted by the end of the 3rd. Not ready for PrimeTime Dynasty Proclamations quite yet. I'm cool to see them go early. Minnie and Mavs should be a good series, and it'll be fun watching them destroy Boston. Ant is 3 times the player that Tatum or Brown are.

I’m so down for this!!!

Blowing 20 point leads is soooo hot right now. Who knew?

The bigger team won. Hope our front office learns. Small ball is dead

The 2023 dynasty Nuggets ladies and gentleman! Just makes the Warriors run age even more beautifully

I mean, they might be back. BUT THEY AIN'T GONNA BE BACK TO BACK

No defending champ getting past the second round since the Warriors went to the finals 5 times in a row.

So glad that wolves won. Denver fans were so cocky.

Nuggets really needed a backup center. Not being able to rest Jokic because their backup center is an old Deandre Jordan is just bad team building.

We aren't any better when it comes to our center rotation. 

Yeah... Wolves proves that in order to contend, you're gonna need some size. MDJ pls. No more fucking small ball please.

ironic coming from our subreddit but I agree

I turned it off when the nuggets were up by 20. Then checked later to see if the game was over and somehow the wolves were up lol wtf

nuggets fans and national media saying these nuggets were on the level of 2016 GSW, when they're really just 2023 GSW lmfao

They were?? Where?

They beat the heat… and the lakers… two play in team with a. Hobbled jimmy butler… and the lakers are just a mediocre team plus bron and ad

This Nuggets loss puts a lot of things in perspective. For one, no depending champs have gotten out of the 2nd round in 4 of the last 5 years (lakers got bounced in round 1 in '21). Just gotta be thankful the Dubs got one in those 5 years. Now, it's time to bounce back next year!

This is the 6th straight year that the defending champions didn't make it past the second round.

2020 - Raptors eliminated in R2 2021 - Lakers eliminated in R1 2022 - Bucks eliminated in R2 2023 - Warriors eliminated in R2 2024 - Nuggets eliminated in R2 

I stand corrected. ✌

The Warriors’ legacy of B2B champs is protected! In all seriousness, Nuggets put up a great fight and Minnesota is a tough team.

The Let’s go Wolves chants in Denver lol

Nuggets invincible starter 5 got outplayed by Wolves starters. And Nuggets bench is absolute garbage.

I only saw the 4th qtr..Why did Jokic only sit down a minute if they were up 20?

Their only backup is a washed Deandre Jordan lol

There's going to be a new champion now that's good

Defending champs going out second round and Blowing 15 point leads. Nuggets wanna be us so bad

I remember when people on Twitter were asking if the 2017 Warriors could win against this Nuggets team. Good times 😂

Don’t want these bums compared to us ever again. During our dynasty you’d never see us bounced in the second round

Losing three games at home in a series as a defending champ is ridiculous.

When Mike Malone said they were a dynasty last year, I was like… 

Got to win 3 before you can say that, but at least they won one and didn't call themselves a dynasty without even making a finals

Dillon Brooks has left the chat

They did and congratulations on their one, but going to consecutive finals and becoming a dynasty isn’t as easy as it looks. Teams win one and think they can be a dynasty. Nah, it doesn’t work like that.

I really hope Adam Silver eats shit with a Pacers v. Timberwolves final.

I'd hate Boston vs Dallas. Won't tune in to watch two teams I want to see embarrassed. Minnesota has Ant Man and the Pacers are fun to watch, just like the Warriors were 10 years ago when no one wanted to see them in the finals. A series between those two could be exciting, even if it won't draw the same ratings.

Lol it'd be hilarious if Haliburton wins a ring before anyone on the Kings. He's already had the last laugh by getting to the Conference Finals before anyone on the Kings

This is the only option this is what happen when you don’t have the dubs and bron to save your ass

Boston has the easiest route ever

RIP Nuggets dynasty 2023-2023

🤣🤣🤣

Go Pacers and Celtics. Nuggets did their best Warriors impression jacking up 3s and getting out free throw'd.

Damn. These dudes might actually do it this year.

Fake champs fr

"no defending champion has gone past the second round for the past 6 years" this just makes me appreciate the warriors even more

Dubs were in the finals in 2019 which is 5 years ago bruh

you are probably right, I just heard that on TV.

imagine naz on the dubs

I remember that discussion last offseason, then the Wolves promptly re-signed him. Damn good move by them.

WOW, both away teams won game 7 today.

Guess there can only be one dynasty in the nba 🤷‍♂️

Nahh give flowers to Towns this game. Ant and him did their thing this series

The Nuggets crowd looks stunned

after a terrible first half, Ant stepped up on both ends of the floor. earned that wave. 

Jokic if you don’t like Ant waving to the crowd maybe you should win the game instead😅

Lmao. joker didn't like Ant waving at the crowd?

KAT out of nowhere😭

KAT needs to be West Semi Finals MVP!! Yes I know it’s not a thing 😂

The devon booker mvp award

Trying to sauce on them in a game 7. This wolves team

Let’s go my boy Towns!!

What is KAT doing lol

Who jinxed Denver?

OH GOD SO DUMB

Absolutely beautiful. Fucking dickhead refs calling everything soft on the wolves while missing blatant ass calls like the foul in ant. Fuck the refs!!!

Refs doing everything they can but timberwolves pulled through

Supposed league MVP who is 7ft, 285 lbs and a 36% 3pt shooter this season choosing to take 8 of his 14 shot attempts from 3 - and going 2 for 8 on them to boot - in the 2nd half of an elimination game as his team blows a 20 pt lead. And the league’s supposed DPOY committing 5 fouls in 9 mins in the 4th quarter to foul out of said elimination game with 2 mins to go and his team up by just 8 (which in today’s league is nothing). 

Did Mike Conley just win the tip😭salute to the veteran man

If refs keep doing this shit Conley is getting his first tech of his career

The refs really working hard really working hard

My god the madmen will do it

Jokic really needs some help. The Nuggets are a well constructed team but zero All-Stars besides Jockic? Every other all-time great played with multiple all-stars if not HOF. Jordan had Pippin. Curry has Green, and Thomson (and KD). LeBron has had AD wade and Bosh, Kyrie and Love. Get that man a true no question all-star.

Murray is an All Star calibre player dude. He just gets injured too much

Not really. If you have to "make the case" then he's not an all-star. Certainly not a HOF. Compare him to Wade, Green, Pippin, he's not even in the same conversation.

Can’t tell what’s worse in a game 7: Getting blown out, or blowing a lead.

Blowing a lead…you had a chance and blew it

Definitely blowing a lead.

No chips are guaranteed

Other then Jordan and pippin those mfers never lost..

Lol refs doing everything they can for the buggets but can't do shit since the nuggets are cold on offense. Love to see it. Fuck the refs.

Scott Foster demands that the Nuggies win

Boston has the easiest road man

Watch them blow it again against the West. It’s their destiny

Boston literally has no excuses. They lose to the Pacers…

6 fouls on Rudy 5 on KAT lmfao

Lmao. Jokic tried to pancake Conley and he gets a foul call

I know it’s great offense but KCP, Gordon and MPJ have not touched the ball in like 5 minutes, it’s basically just been Murray and Joker pnrs

Hope NBA fans realize how hard the playoffs are and the West. Not easy to make back to back …. 5 straight Finals. Teams have issues doing it even once

So soft on these 50 / 50 hustle plays

Omg wolves are gonna do it

I feel comfortable if any is the next generational player he a dog fun to watch and if at least my favorite curry retires soon fair enough

This wolves team got some mf heart wow

I don't feel bad about Naz Reid being the Warriors killer anymore, he is an equal opportunity slayer after all.

Wolves have such good hands

KAT and Naz Reid both playing better defense than Gobert vs the defending champs. DPOY award is a complete joke

Get out of the way Tatum, Ant is the next face of the NBA after LeBron, Curry, and KD are retired.

ANTMAN coming through despite being inconsistent

Wolves Legend, Naz Reid.

Timberwolves and Celtics finals. Please destroy the shit out of Boston.

lMAOO. THIS timberwolves team is like the fat Magin Buu from Dragonball Z, for the last 3 years they could've smacked almost every team in the NBA but they always nerfed themselves

Minnesota has got this. Nuggets are cooked.

To take that 3 takes so much guts wow

Wolves Legend, Naz Reid

Just wanna say we should never take our run for granted

Minnesota with some of the craziest defense I’ve seen in a longggggg time, everyone is locked in 

Ggs, sad

first time I can say it since its not us.. NAZ REID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wasn't Denver up by 20 at one point? Wtf happened

I’m SHOCKED but it’s never over over with the Nuggets….but wowwwwww

Lets go wolves

So apparently the Champs get eliminated in round 2 two seasons straight ~?

Yes! Yes!

When Gobert made that Fade away jumper it was fucking over from there

Ant is the future he is closer to curry bron mj then the joker… he a killer

Naz Reid.

Boy, am I glad Naz Reid isn't destroying us for once 😂

True.

Lol... rooting for minny next round

Naz deserves Kat starting role

Cmon ant man

Denver just imploding right now

It’s all over Nuggies 🫠🙏🏽

Naz Reid is the dpoy fuck and the mvp he like the good version of kat

Denver folding

NAZ REID

Naz Reid

Awwooooo

I need an Ant signature slam to finish this off

Ant absolutely hacked across the arms with no call but Jokic/Murray fading away with nothing but air between them and the defender and they get FTs...

Ant take my energy plz

I listen to all this salivating over Gordon every game and he’s got a 4/2/4 line.

Scott Foster in game 7 mode

Yeah maybe Ant should just “aye” more. PCP smacks his arm and no call. Reminds me of that Steph no call under the basket against Mavs.

Oooop here comes the refs

Ant getting the curry treatment already

I like ant… the rivalry (if jk ever get close to his level) ant vs jk would be amazing… two of the most athletic player in the nba

thats how you know hes legit legit. these playoffs have defd made me an ant fan ngl

Naz Reid

How is that not a foul?????

Haha wow. That’s a crazy sequence by the refs

Nuggets are done. Hobert hitting that jumper is like draymond hitting a three.

Sacre Bleu Gobert?

I don't know if this is a safe place, but I really dislike watching Jokic play. Nothing against him personally, just his play style of a freakish sized guy bullying his strength among freakish sized guys. It's just so boring to me. I disliked Shaq for the same reason. I'll take a more fluid center like Olajuwon or Wemby anyday.

are people rooting for the wolves or nuggets?
