That worked out perfectly for us. OT and the series extended.
Yes, very happy that the Wolves got this win to put some mileage on the Nuggets. We don't want to face them after 5 straight games of 45+ minutes for Book/KD and their guys on 5 days of rest.

Friday or Saturday I’m betting. If I’m the suns, the minute the LA series is over I’m heading to Denver to get the team acclimated with the elevation. That craps no joke.

The Nuggets played their starters 40 minutes in OT and their bench looks a little weak just the same. Bruce Brown, Jeff Green and Braun have been their 3 reserves with guys like Reggie Jackson and Thomas Bryant out the rotation. Maybe Malone dusts them off in round 2 if we're matched up but their main guys have been playing heavy minutes as well.

I think Payne-Okogie-Lee-Biz is as good as bench lineup going forward. Maybe Ross instead of Lee but seems Monty is rolling with Lee unless he starts fucking up. No more Shamet please.

Wouldn’t mind if we start Okogie for the Denver series to hound Murray but Craig has been playing well, so maybe it’s a “if it’s not broken, then don’t fix it” situation. I just think it makes more sense for Denver if our starters and bench are:

CP-Book-Okogie-KD-Ayton

Payne-Lee-Craig-Biz

I agree, I’d start Okogie against Murray

Which means home court for us in the WCF if we get there.

If we’re so lucky. It’d be kind of funny if we just end up running 2021 playoff matchups back lol.

Play lakers in the WCF and Bucks in the finals.

^ I saw that play, and I was surprised he bumped the ref, too. Wondered why they didn't make much of it on the broadcast. Seems like it could have gotten him a tech or ejection.

Game was already over…can’t really eject a player after the game
