Man we are lucky to have him on our team. This the type of mentality you gotta have. With all the pressure, a loss back to back after winning back to back, and being the youngest on the squad? I hope the team gets around this energy and take some in. Gon need it for these next 2 games.

Has anybody noticed how the wolves have been playing the screens these last two games?? They didn't do this in the last series or the first two games in denver, so why change your defensive plan now ? They're over helping on the screens and are switching off so bad. That's why AG got so many open shots . What happened coach?

[@Calinks]

Not be shaken, to get hit and hit back, thats the mark of a champion. Denver has done that, now can the Timberwolves? This is the stuff legenda are made of.

[@Jevonechy]

This will go down as one of those legendary series. Everyone knew that coming in, so we all shouldn't be surprised both teams loss at home. This will only make the ending that much dramatic. My gut is telling me Ant hits a game winner to close it out in front of the MN crowd in game 6. But we can never count out the Nuggets so we'll see.

[@Calinks]

@@Jevonechy Yep. If Minnesota wins tomorrow the heat is back on and we got one of the best series of the playoffs. Hell even if Denver wins out it will suck as a wolves fan but it would be incredible to see a team respond like that in a series they were getting smacked in. As a basketball fan this stuff is delicious, even the pain lol.

[@Jevonechy]

@Calinks yeah I think the thing that will hurt most to MN fans is the "choke" part of all of this . That's why I want MN to win bad so they can at least say they finished the job. If nuggets win tomorrow, it makes everything more interesting because I don't think nuggets can beat the wolves 4 in a row. Didn't happen in the season or it didn't happen last year in the playoffs, and that nuggets team was a better version than this year's nuggets team. I'm rooting for wolves to win on the road again. It's going to be the toughest test in Ants young career. If they get it done tomorrow, there's no way they can't end it at home because the momentum will shift drastically! Only 1 day off as well, so no long breaks in between games again. Hopefully the refs let them boys play again
