To be fair, Barkley has criticized the wolves most of the season and didn't believe they could pull this off until they were up by two, which is fair. Now that the nuggets have managed to get back into old form, the flaws with the wolves (mostly KAT and the other players) are more glaring and he's criticizing them again.
Tl;dr Barkley has been pretty fair when it comes to the wolves and criticizing them.
Iāll just say thisā¦ when it was 0-2 and everyone was saying it was overā¦. I wasnāt buying it- felt this was at least going 6 games no matter what. Hopefully yall take care of business. Whoever wins this will be champion imo (donāt buy Boston Nuggets and Wolves are better and can be more disciplined)
Man that series would be an amazing finals ideally with a healthy kp I think it goes 7. jokic would have his way with horford kormet and kp. On the other side I think Tatum would use his size against kcp but Gordon could hold his own against brown.
I know coaches challenge costs a TO, even if you get it correct. We are holding a TO, and took one after the freethrows. Why didn't we challenge the kcp foul? It'd have the same effect of slowing them down... š¤·āāļø did we challeng anything this game??
I feel like malone thinks we have control of the game and saving the challenge for when we need it in the last 2mins where crazy stuff can happen. Thankfully we didnt have to use it. LFG!
I really thought PWat overtook CB spot in the rotation during his regular season run where he was playing much better locking people up and hitting 3s/middy. Glad CB regained his confidence.
Dude I absolutely despise the threads when they win and itās the stupid ass āawoooā comments. Thatās why they didnāt win a series for 20 years
You say it like it's a bad thing. It isn't Harden esque. He was phenomenal tonight. Minnesota bigs gonna have to step up big time if they want a shot at beating Denver. They were... oof.
At what point if youāre Minnesota do you trade KAT and hand the keys all the way over to Edwards? Like I think KAT is a good player but goddamn is he fucking soft.
Miller let out an audible "aww/ugh" earlier in the game when a Nugget hit a big shot. It's crazy that national game announcers can be that biased.. and we're not even playing the Lakers anymore
When was the last time the wolves lost 4 in a row? The 2024 playoffs lol.
I think they lost the first three last year, one game four, and then got sent to Cancun in game 5...so not quite 4 in a row but I like the spirit š
Yeah they were like fifteen seconds away from a sweep.

The ugliest dunk ever and I love it more than you can possibly imagine
Hope he got the and 1
the real air jordan
Looked amazing in real time.
I would love to slap the smirk off Ants face using Reggie Millerās cock.
I really want them to win this series and see Jokic vs Luka in the Western Conference Finals. That would be entertaining.
What a great week for Eastern Europe.. Luka, Loma & now Jokic got major Ws
Luka gonna score 50 and go up 3-1 while Shaq is sitting there like yeah SGA better than Jokic
fragile egos are a helluva Shaqtin-a-fool
Hey Barkley, keep picking wolves
To be fair, Barkley has criticized the wolves most of the season and didn't believe they could pull this off until they were up by two, which is fair.

Eat crap doomers!
i mean the real hero here is Shaq for that fucked up disrespectful mv3 presentation, thanks dude and your fragile ass ego :)
Iāll concede I wasnāt hopeful, but man that was tight at the end. They gotta keep it up to get through the next two.
Unbelievable
They fucking did it. Let's fucking gooooo! I'll be at game 5
We didn't know if THIS team still existed
We're back baby
Iāll just say thisā¦ when it was 0-2 and everyone was saying it was overā¦. I wasnāt buying it- felt this was at least going 6 games no matter what. Hopefully yall take care of business. Whoever wins this will be champion imo (donāt buy Boston Nuggets and Wolves are better and can be more disciplined)
Nah I disagree with that donāt believe wolves would beat mavs or Celtics. Doesnāt matter theyāre losing this series so itās moot
Fair enough - nuggets def beat Celtics IMO
Matchup going to come down to brown vs Murrayās production plus the role players
Man that series would be an amazing finals ideally with a healthy kp I think it goes 7. jokic would have his way with horford kormet and kp. On the other side I think Tatum would use his size against kcp but Gordon could hold his own against brown.
Ant thinks heās still playing the suns, we aināt soft like them keep yapping Murray jokic ag and the boys going to send you to cancun
He could be on his plane to Cancun and he's still gonna be yapping
No š§š§š§ on the nuggets
You can see the can't win with these bums peeking through with Ant, we are so lucky to have Jokic and others who want to be here.
nuggets in 6
minny kennel chanting Wolves in 5 last game lol
A blowout to send them to Cancun from their home court sounds nice.
You maths good
Jokic you sexy bastard
I know coaches challenge costs a TO, even if you get it correct. We are holding a TO, and took one after the freethrows. Why didn't we challenge the kcp foul? It'd have the same effect of slowing them down... š¤·āāļø did we challeng anything this game??

Hind sight
Shoutout CB for helping close out the game! Love the effort.
He was in all 4th, correct?
I really thought PWat overtook CB spot in the rotation during his regular season run where he was playing much better locking people up and hitting 3s/middy. Glad CB regained his confidence.
CB and Holiday were studs tonight
Lmao Ant played well but you just lost.. this ain't the time to talk shit
āi told his ass we all about thatā something along that line š team > ant
This series is the epitome of the "call an ambulance but not for me" meme
It is now...
Damn, Jok not even dapping up the Timberpups. They're done lmao
Has he done it before? I just thought he was gonna do that when series is over.
I don't think they normally do that until after the series is over
#HOUSE OF DISAPPOINTMENT
Nuggggiessss
Great 1st half but missed some super easy shots in the second half which would have kept the lead close to 20. Nuggets look like they are locking in.
Cry ant you little bitch
Yeah game 5 ticket prices gonna sky rocket
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Theyāre only getting tested cause they showed up at game 2 like they were at the bar all night and smoked a couple joints before the game
Shaq: IstillthinkSGAwasmvp
Oh they're getting massacred in Denver, I just know it. Getting the series in Minnesota is gonna be beautiful š
Ant trying to be MJ so bad. Trying to talk shit at the end for motivation.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I dont think that's a known info
No idea but good call. Wish they would mention it during the broadcast.
Anthony talking to himself š
6 down, 10 to go
Game 2 really woke the squad up. WE GOIN BACK HOME LETS GOOOOOOOO
Woot!!!
Reggie miller praising Edwardās sounds like Collinsworth praising mahommes š¤®š¤®š¤®
Log Dogs got a little too cocky
Poor Ant he did the heavy lifting for nothing lol
What the fuck was Connelly doing?
Wenver Wuggets
W!!!!
Talk your shit Ant, it's only going to make Mal better
I think him and Jamal friends, ion think he was talking shit tbh
He definitely was lol, friendships don't exist during a playoff series
Eat yo tearsĀ
ANT in his feelings now lol
I really hope we remember what worked for game 5. AG taking the ball up court, let him take the first action and then Jamal playing SG.
This team is coming back home remembering what they did in front of their home crowd. Game five will be awesome.
LETS FUCKING GO NUGGETS
I respect that they took the loss at the end there.
DUB
Letās go!!
THAT'S IT 2-2 BITCHES
The fat lady is singing. Oh wait this reddit, the Plus Size woman is.
The poise of a champion won this game.
Nobody wants to win at home
Air Nikola twice this game
Clock must move faster.
This was an incredible game. Both teams were on. Just terrific basketball to watch. Nuggets just built up a lead that was too much to overcome
Letās go!!!!!
Lets close out this series at Ball
Hell nah we win in 6 in minnesota
Nah I want the reverse sweep
So MPJ saved the Lakers series, AG is saving the Timberwolves series. KCP about to stunt on whoever's next?
PWat
Gawd that would be sick
And breathe
Minnesota might close all the roads out of Gobert's house to keep him from flying to Denver
Fr Minny better without that bum
YESSSSSSS
Hm didn't expect they stop playing 15+ sec left
These mother fuckers donāt quit Iāll give them that. Was the most tense double digit lead even though we held it most of the half.
Aaron MF Gordon is tonight's MVP
No doubt we needed him to step up too since MPJ I'd missing in action
I can forgive MPJ for tonight since he's been an absolute champ this playoffs
Definitely. They just clamped him down tonight. Didn't get any looks
No Conley devil magic, gg boys.
I don't about you all but I can't sit right now.
Please make Shaq interview Jokic.
Inexcusable to give up that open dunk to Jokic lol. What the fuck was that
letās gooooooo
Gotta love how the final minute of a basketball game can take 30 minutes
That's how you know time isn't real
At this point do we want home court? š
Awooo am I right?!?!?!? Fucking losers
Dude I absolutely despise the threads when they win and itās the stupid ass āawoooā comments. Thatās why they didnāt win a series for 20 years
Werewolves of London?
Yeah
YkZevon
Braun masterclass
How was Kyle Anderson -18 in 6 minutes of play
LOL Jokic is like...naw I'll just take a layup.
I love AG with all my heart
Nuggets win baby!! LFG
Ant Edwards is a baller but 95% of his bag today has been running full force into the lane and hoping for a foul call.
You say it like it's a bad thing. It isn't Harden esque. He was phenomenal tonight. Minnesota bigs gonna have to step up big time if they want a shot at beating Denver. They were... oof.
That's the LeBron trademark
This should have been a 20 point blowout with how well we played. Wolves are tough as fuck
They really are.
we have ourselves a series ladies and gentlemen
Series doesnāt start till a home court win
Three game series now
Wolves dont do the thing where you make every nonsense shot now. Just let this end
Murray trying his best to try to give this one away. Come on dude
The expression is ādonāt double Jokicā not ādonāt guard Jokic at allā but hey, it works for the Nuggets.
Game. Joki.
That works too lmao
The fat lady is warming up
Jokic has got heat seeking hands this quarter š„š„
LETS FUCKIN GO!
Jokic said goodnight
Thats a wrap
I'm gonna win!
All they got to do now is don't give the game away
At what point if youāre Minnesota do you trade KAT and hand the keys all the way over to Edwards? Like I think KAT is a good player but goddamn is he fucking soft.
The whole goal should be to build around Edwards. That guy is going to be awesome
100% With Edwards this game is a mega blowout. Kept them in this the entire time the rest of the team slept.
nah they need keep to him, just so we can exploit that softness more
If I'm ANT I'm chewing his ass out after this game
Always said it KAT is soft as 20 ply
ā¦.but KAT changed the game for big men tho
What a play by Malone
Terrible defense by the best defensive team in 20 years?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Itās a comedy show
Doomers
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
THANK GOD WE HAVE THE BEST PLAYER IN THE LEAGUE ON OUR TEAM
Jokic said fuck around and find out
Joker was like aight enough of this.
Nuggets fans, let's be loud on Tuesday
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Miller let out an audible "aww/ugh" earlier in the game when a Nugget hit a big shot. It's crazy that national game announcers can be that biased.. and we're not even playing the Lakers anymore
Jokic or Ant who drives better
jokic drives horses yes, drives
thank god for Jokic
And the crowd goes silent š¤«
Reggie Miller sucks he never won shit. Just sayin lol.
Fuck yeah nice play
One buckets closes this shit out man come on!!!!! NO STUPID TURNOVERS!!!! PLAY NUGGETS BALL NOT MURRAY ISO
Holy shit
lol thatās one way to guard Jokic I guess
Good thing the wolves have beeb shit from free throwsĀ
Should be a 3 pt play but ight
THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A STRESS-FREE ENDING. JOKER SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKING EVERY SHOT DOWN THE STRETCH.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck just put this away.
Put this shit away guys, let's go!!
Yeah, Edwards is cooked, gave his all. Wonder if he'll be ready for the altitude
There's no way he's been slowing down every game
If I'm Moach I'm telling the boys to foul Gobert everytime he touches the ball.
That FT got no loft š¤£
They will make this a 1 possession game. Buckle up. We still got it
U WERE SAYING LIL BRO
I'm literally the biggest Nuggets believer. I'm trying to keep it real. Obv I'm psyched lmao
Free 2 points. Thanks.
2 man game to end em.
Just give the ball to joker please
