It was such a disgusting final possession, running out the clock on themselves and then hoisting up a three when they're down by one! They were so close to a 3-1 lead on the defending champs.

Why do I have a feeling the Timberwolves are going to end the game in an even dumber fashion?

Go Wolves!

Minny just built an 11 point lead…down to 7 now. Let’s see if they can hold it.

Actually think they might have taken away the Gordon put back(shot clock)…back to 9.

It doesn't matter. The Wolves suck and will lose this game.

Reverse jinx. :lol:

They also still suck. The Nuggets have been playing this game at half speed for most of it. The Wolves are getting away with a lot of fouling as well.

Jokic misses the front end ft that could have given Denver the lead. Tie game 12 seconds to go.

I repeat, the Wolves suck. A bunch of mental midgets besides Conley.

So predictable. :lol:

This is the last season I'm allowing Edwards to use the youth/inexperience excuse for his inane decisions. So much talent but so little IQ to go with it.

Some of their decisions at the end were just so bad. Like NAW caught the ball in the corner with a man on him and time still on the shot clock and thought…you know what, let me take this shot even though I’m only on the court for my defense.

Then why would you ever go to Rudy? Ant just not even trying to penetrate and settling for contestes pull-up 3s…KAT reaching and fouling Jokic up 1 and 12 seconds left…just terrible.

This is the kind of stuff I think about when people want the Suns to fire Monty. Odds are they'd get a Chris Finch-type and be worse off.

KAT fouling out on something dumb is the free space on the bingo card.

Agreed…25 of the 30 coaches are questionable…it’s kinda like QB’s in the nfl..only a few teams have a true franchise one. We may not have Mahomes, but Mahomes isn’t available.
