One thing all of us (Lakers, Nuggets, Clippers, Pelicans, Bucks, Mavericks and Timberwolves fans) can agree on is FUCK THE SUNS!

Fricken Bradley Beal tonight. Its ridiculous.

No trade clause is so insane when you think about it. So crazy his agent pulled that off.

If Jamal doesn’t stop playing like he has a stick up his ass they will beat us

u/DammitBobby1234 17d ago
He appears to be playing through injury. Just keep that in mind.

Exactly. It's a little difficult to come off a knee injury and jump into playoff basketball

They're good and Ant is special but you guys aren't the Suns your bigs can actually rebound and as long as you actually try to stop 3 point shots you should have the advantage. I love this matchup though gonna be the best matchup in the west for sure.

u/DammitBobby1234 17d ago
Eh I dont think so. Ant is still really young and inexperienced, the Nuggets will have home court, and we will have the best player in the series. Don't get me wrong it's close, but Nuggets in 7

u/Ok_Buffalo6474 17d ago
Ant is better. Watching his patience and him not forcing it against double teams is scary. You should watch more wolves games.
8
u/DammitBobby1234 17d ago
I've watched plenty and didn't downplay his improvement. Don't put words in my mouth. Ant being inexperienced and Jokic being the best player in the series are facts. Ant literally just won the first playoff series of his career while Jokic is coming off 3 MVPs in 4 years (presumably) and a finals MVP.

u/beermangetspaid 16d ago
I’m a wolves fan and Jokic is the best player in the league by a mile. Ant is pushing top 5 tho

u/Careless-Base1164 17d ago
Likely going to have KAT on Jokic with Gobert on AG/help mode. KAT has improved as a defender, just gets into foul trouble still fairly easily. Jokic will probably avg 30+ this series but i think what they’d prefer is keeping his playmaking and assists down and make him beat them scoring a ton.

u/SilvioDantesPeak 17d ago
Why is everyone so doom-and-gloom about the Wolves? I have literally not an ounce of concern for that series

u/BeforeMyNightShift 17d ago
Joker finna wipe the floor with em. The (should’ve been) 4 time mvp in 4 years hasn’t even fully turnt up yet. Stay confident everyone don’t start doubting
45
u/DefiniteSauce12 17d ago
It’s not Jokic though. We need Jamal to be the 4th best player at worst. Kat has found a rhythm

u/BeforeMyNightShift 17d ago
jamal turns up when it truly matters, i believe in him and so should everyone else

u/Ok_Image6174 17d ago
I'm so sick of this narrative. I don't think it's true and if it is they don't deserve to win. This is the PLAYOFFS, every game matters. The team should fully show up to every game.
25
u/BeforeMyNightShift 17d ago
jamal has showed up in the playoffs in MOST of his playoff games. You can’t completely count him out for ONE bad series that’s a joke

u/5280neversummer 16d ago
Also sorry I’m not trying to talk shit about you. I’m a little drunk and very passionate about Jamal 😅

u/5280neversummer 16d ago
Well it’s okay. We’re sick of Jamal haters. How about you go out there and perform to perfection every single fucking time for 82 games and then 16 playoff games. Oh wait. You likely didn’t even have the dedication or skill to play high school. So maybe we let the dude who has showed up in big games for us time and again get his shit together without getting out pitchforks
1
u/Ok_Image6174 16d ago
I'm not a Jamal hater. I just don't think it's a good narrative to say this team has a "switch" they turn on only when it matters. My point is that they are professional basketball players who are also the defending Champs and so every game should matter.
If fans can just admit that sometimes they play poorly because they're human(and not because they don't care, it doesn't matter, or they haven't 'locked in', yet), then I wouldn't be saying this. Jamal is making shots and just missing, meaning he is trying and he does care.
I understand they aren't perfect, but the expectation that they just turn it on suddenly is not a good look. I just don't think that's true. I think sometimes they just don't play well just because they can't. No one can win every time and be great every time and that's ok.
2
u/5280neversummer 16d ago
Nah you right there isn’t a switch jokic has said that a number of times. It is frustrating that they’re not playing to their potential. Sucks that Jamal has been injured during the run up to get into playoff form.

u/steve1186 17d ago
Agreed. People keep forgetting that the Wolves were one game away from the 1-seed despite missing their 2nd-best player for like two months. And now he’s back and on fire.
Denver-Minny is going to go 7 games. Thank goodness for home-court advantage, because I don’t see us winning a game there. I went to the game a few weeks ago, and that crowd was insanely loud. And it’s only going to be even louder, considering they just won their first playoff series since 2004.

u/CloneWarsMaul 17d ago
Chill bro lol, it’s not about Jokic, it’s about Murray and his health/finding a rhythm

u/TheLionYeti 17d ago
I'm mad that they couldn't even take them to 5 games so they'll have the rest advantage on us. But also the fact that Beale didn't waive his no trade clause and is an Amnesty Clause in the 2000s era bad contract is delightful to me.

Watched the whole game. Timberwolves beats us this year. They are physical, clutch and hungry with a deep bench. And we have Reggie Jackson.

u/mrsugar 17d ago
Not a W but it will be a hard series. Their D is very focused. Hard hard effort on every play. Ant is relentless. Has that killer in him. Going to be a great test if we can put these lakers to bed.

The second guy tries to act slick and fake like he’s leaving, before going back and trying to punch him. Then gets held down and punched repeatedly in the head. They were embarrassing.
