The Official NBA Season Thread: NBA Cup Night

[Nike Jordan]

When's the last time a team dropped two at home and won a series?

The Clippers in 2021.

7-Game Playoff Series Outcomes

Since the playoff format went to 16 teams in 1984, the only time it's happened outside of the first round was in 1994 when the Rockets came back against Utah in 1994.

wavycrocket wake up sir

Damn they got two more wins to go in this series but Lenny tried to tell us about these Wolves.

Lets see how the defending champs respond after getting their **** pushed all the way in twice at home.

 

[QU!K]

Jokic should give back that mvp when Nuggets were 6th or whatever

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

wavycrocket wake up sir

Wolves are one of his 30 teams. Mans can't lose

Also Murray went from Bizarro Playoff Embiid first round to Canadian Playoff DZB in the 2nd round.

Playoff gods are fickle.

I'm blaming the Certified PDF File for this

On a spiritual level, all Canadians are feeling the axx whooping Kenny put on Drake. He'll have 3 days to get right. I expect Murray to turn it up next game.

The Wolves really have come a long way since this



Fair play to them, almost feels like another season

 

[pdino]

This is like when you try your damndest to open a jar then the next person opens it with ease

Lakers fans be like “I loosened it up up for you. Your welcome”

Definitely noticed a change in Kat's game after this. He seems to be more about the team as opposed to getting his.

They really suspended him for talking his **** rightfully

Wolves have been vindicating everything he's been talking about so far this postseason.

Not sure why you guys are downplaying us. Yeah we lost but the T'Wolves are down 2-0 right now if the Lakers don't lay down the blueprint on Jokic/Murray. If Reaves, D'Lo, and Rui show up every game. We'd have swept them imo.

Again...

I'm sure they did, but last years playoffs and being divisional opponents, GM that built both squads, former Nuggets coaches on staff play way more of a role. Been known Wolves were comfy in how they matchup vs. Denver.

Lakers ain't got a damn thing to do with it. They already knew how to play Denver.

That's a sign of a great team and united locker room being able to take a public dressing down like that on the chin and only use it as fuel to improve in every facet since then.

Finch is making me a believer, was spot on about everything in that rant and his guys haven't looked back since...

 

[Kierris]

Again...

While I'm sure that plays a part... I'm 100% positive you guys saw what worked for us against them and unlike us, you guys have the personnel to execute.

Drake can put his sorry axx back to his cave. we don't need any of that NBA bandwagon b.s. of his.

are they saying that the Lakers are lower class heroes that Saitama (Wolves) stole their credit for defeating the Nuggets?

Paying tribute to Rudy with the double 27's

[trappedintime]

He chose a gun over an entire season. This man needs to quiet down.

 

[T0INE]

Wolves have the players to combat the Nuggets strengths.

Wolves can throw Goober, Naz, and KAT with all his voice settings at Joker while the Lakers had AD (who played him well) and Cornerstone who was Japanese BBQ chicken.

Not to mention Ant, NAW and McDaniels on the perimeter to put Murray in Alcatraz.

FOH with the Lakers giving the Wolves "the blueprint" on the Nuggets.

They have the personnel to matchup with Denver and they are locked in right now.

Ironically enough the Wolves are built similar to how that 2020 Lakers championship team was but EYE digress.
