​@nikhiltrivedi8126 rubbish. Nuggets are the lakers daddies. 12-1

[@lukesamerson9600]

WOLVES WILL EAT THAT NUGGET

[@lil_truth]

They love nuggets in Minnesota particularly Jokic and Murray’s nuggets. Nuggets in 5

[@darryldrayton2635]

Bring back those throwback Wolves Jerseys, KG era.

[@stormageddon248]

I LOVE that Stephen A has to go to Denver and Minnesota. No LA for you! 🤣

[@princeodinson3239]

Shannon comes from a time when yelling fooled others to think they spitting facts...😂😂😂😂😂

[@Benji-rn3fl]

True Facts !!! My favorite Uncle who I love dearly speaks the SAME WAY!!! 😅😅😅

[@noahkramer942]

Id be worried if im the Timberwolves, Jokic has obliterated Rudy Gobert on many occasions

[@MB-jz3uu]

And? Who else gonna score. Jaden mcdaniels and ant clamped up kd. Mpj not gonna fair well and who ever isn't guarding mpj will be on Murray.

[@dc81503]

Good thing they have 3 capable centers to double team him or allow JMac & AE shut down Jamal and MPJ

[@ayoomisope6563]

@@dc81503No one is shutting down Jamal. Be serious. It’s gonna be a seven-game series, though

[@commanderjoj6426]

I’m ready for the TWolves-Nuggets series. I hope it’s as good as I think it’s gonna be.

[@rodneyturner8077]

I can’t unsee SAS on Hannity…hard watching First Take now. A show that I loved.

[@teeraw4575]

No one cares about your loser feelings

[@brucelau2023]

Yeah the same Stephen A who’s picked the Finals winner wrong 13 times the last 15 years ????

[@sowingandreaping7871]

The media is doing a awesome job getting the fans excited about the playoffs. ESPN is suppose to make us want to watch!

[@slowodanx]

Ok bot

[@minnuss]

If you need MEDIA for that, change the sport you are watching!

[@jayc5756]

The playoffs already started dodo. Either you been excited about it weeks ago, or you're not. And some people's teams are out, so they gotta cater to the people that are still excited about it..and the others. Stop being so entitled. And you're a casual, if you really asked that super ignorant question. FR. IJS

People are underestimating the Nuggets and Joker. Watch they won’t call fouls on him but the man and the Nuggets are the next dynasty in the NBA

[@jameskent836]

Nope

[@jameskent836]

They are hurt and Murray is going to get hurt bad

[@armedairplane1480]

Stephen A made it sound like he thinks it’s gonna be 20 degrees in Minnesota in May 😂

[@5luelight726]

KCP can’t guard Ant, Gordon can’t guard KAT & Murray will be neutralized by Mcdaniels/Ant/NAW. Wolves got it.

[@MB-jz3uu]

Pretty much gotta hope jokic goes for 40 every game.

[@DeathFORcameO]

That's too early to tell my guy 😂, this is not the Suns, they have a good coach too.

[@robertdavis2179]

So Gordon could hold his own against lebron but he can’t guard kat ?

[@loudnoises5372]

Gordon can't guard Kat? C'mon man, stop it. I will sit here and give the T Wolves the respect they deserve because they are a good team. But acting like the Nuggets have no answer for the Wolves is absolutely 🤡 status, and disrespectful.

[@5luelight726]

@@robertdavis2179 Bron averaged 28 on over 50% shooting in that series what you talking about? Gordon is a 6’8 small forward, KAT is a 7 footer with a post game, touch around the basket and can stretch the floor.

[@SK99900]

Nuggets in 5

[@ProducedI]

Just shut up, you don’t know basketball moron

[@k-cx7137]

This is gonna be the equivalent to 86’ bulls vs Celtics . Young MJ(Ant) vs Larry Bird(Joker)
