I agree! Murray needs to get his game face back on if we are going to have a chance. Jokic needs to step up to MVP status and be a super hero. MPJ, that guy is fueling his game with overwhelming personal tragedy...Need a W tonight to keep the fight alive!

[mclaincausey]

I’ll be doing my part tonight. Hattie was so crestfallen that she couldn’t come to a game with a friend and me that overwhelming guilt let to a playoff game family night

[Mizmazzle]

@mclaincausey hell yea dude!!

[mclaincausey]

@Mizmazzle

[Mizmazzle]

@mclaincausey love it!!
Really hope the nugs can control their frustration better. It’s getting the best of them.

[mclaincausey]

@Mizmazzle they’re just completely outclassed. The length and effort of the Wolves is a problem.

Man, I’m not going to come on here and talk shit because I still think the series goes to 6 or even 7, but I can’t believe this is my Timberwolves team. Minnesotans aren’t used to having anything this good when it comes to sports.

[Tago Mago]

@mclaincausey Start them early. Have you taken her to an Avs game yet? Hockey is by far my favourite sport to follow

[mclaincausey]

@Tago-Mago of course! Hockey is my favorite team sport perhaps save for motor racing. I go to Denver University (reining champs and winningest Division I program) and Avs games regularly.

The Stars are also a tough matchup but I said that about the Jets too, so hoping we can look like the Wolves in this one.

[Mizmazzle]

@october-rust you’ve got a team to be proud of man!! They’ve taken a juggernaut in the Nuggets and reduced them to infantile play by comparison.

[Eza]

What about the WNBA?

[Tago Mago]

@mclaincausey out of respect for your well-reasoned aversion to upvotes I will refrain from giving you one even though I want to

[mclaincausey]

lol no skin off my back either way. Go Avs!

[mclaincausey]

Congrats to Jokič for MVP #3.

Not to denigrate his amazing teammates, but he’s done it playing a team game without the kind of surrounding talent of other MVPs

[Mizmazzle]

Hope this MVP gives the team a spark. Sadly, sounds like there is a lot of internal strife that is coming out in the media about the discord of the team. Not to mention Murray acting like a spoiled child who had his lollipop taken away and throwing shit on the court.

[mclaincausey]

I’m not optimistic, but then I never felt great about this series. An MVP on your team has felt like a playoffs death sentence for several years.

I’m thinking Nugs get one road win next game this series and that’s it. I’m here to support them through it all but they haven’t been themselves this whole postseason and even being themselves it would be a tight 7 game series against these Wolves. Could never afford to spot them two home games.

We will need some front office magic to get over the hump next year but this abysmal postseason does nothing to diminish Jokič or his achievement.

[Mizmazzle]

@mclaincausey yeah. I agree with all of that. They’ve had a few nice bursts of dynamic play. But far from putting together 4 quarters of championship play.

[SKT]

@mclaincausey that’s a hell of a stat

[Mizmazzle]

We got embarrassed in our own house on game 2….game 3, Nugs came in and Rick James’d the T Wolves couch!!!
I feel like we’re back to a level playing field both in record and psychologically.

[flannel slut]

I would bet this years champ coming out of the Twolves Nuggets series.
Curious to see which Celtics team shows tonight. Having Tatum and Brown is a very solid duo but at the end of the day, a team built around two Scottie Pippens
