    Well, the silver lining in this disastrous effort was the fact that they acknowledged they never came close to playing their best to the game, and that they didn't play up to their abilities. Saying that about themselves regarding Game 3, and playing their best in Game 4, are two different things. Minnesota HAS to know they can't go back to Denver at 2-2. They must win game 4, which will give them a Game 6 opportunity to close out the series, if they should come out flat again in Game 5. Kudos to Mike Malone for having his team play like the defending champions they are.

    The NBA needs to fix its wildly inconsistent officiating problem. Game 2 one of the most physical games i have ever seen. Game 3 called tight like regular season. Given these rosters/schemes its pretty obvious which team would be favored. I prefer less physicality because it lets more skill be displayed. But pick something and be consistent from game to game. We got 2 blowouts because of this nonsense.

  • @llwyd564

    On one hand I completely agree. On the other, the wolves should have gone in to this game expecting for the officials to call a tighter game after the disasterclass that was game 2. And if they weren't expecting this they should have realized what was happening after 5 minutes of game time instead of trying to double down.

    Physical play is historically consistent in the playoffs in the NBA. What isn't normal at all is the fact they arbitrarily switched to softer-than-regular-season reffing for Game 3, without warning. That set up the Wolves, since they came out expecting physical reffing for playoffs and therefore played physical. As a result, they were set up and got into early foul trouble (in the bonus quarters 1 and 2), so they had to back off on D for fear of fouling out... giving the Nuggets open looks all night. This is likely by design to extend the series. Millions of dollars at stake. I can't think of any other explanation other than purposefully setting up the Wolves for early foul trouble and stripping them of their D to give Denver an easy win. The matchup entails that is a super easy way to give them a W.

    4 days rest played a big role. Jokic has been doing so much on the court. I’m curious how quick he can recover. The Timberwolves can more easily share the load. In this game Porter picked up a lot of the load, and that’s what we are going to need to see otherwise Jokic gets worn down and it’s curtains.
