Donte and Ant had to die so Ayo could live.

Gutsy performance by Minny…

And a huge choke by Denver.

Still think it goes 7 with the injuries. 5 days until Game 6 if Ant can miraculously recover though.

Ayo has been awesome to watch but goddamn I can already tell this dude is going to be annoying AF to play against if we advance and play MIN in Round 2

he'll come back down to earth.. denver is just a bad matchup tbh

Surely Denver wins this series. No Donte. Likely no Ant. You’re asking for another 35+ piece from some rando like Ayo. Denver has games 5 and 7 at home.

The counter is that Denver has to win 3 in a row in the playoffs down 3-1 which has been done how many times? Gordon is gimpy. All it takes is one bad game and their done.

Just completely fucking weird.

They will definitely win game five. After that who knows? It’s not just about Minnesota matching up well with them, Denver is playing like ass..

Sucks for Minny if they lose this series because of injuries. Clearly the better team throughout.

Ayo was a 2nd round pick and was acquired via 2nd round picks.

Somebody tell BWrong that 2nd rounder matters tbh

I mean he won't score 40 every game obv, but he's still a 15 PPG scorer this season and an elite 3PT shooter (44% on over 4 attempts per). Guy can ball tbh. And he'll be asked to do more with Donte out now.

Obviously, we have to advance and have our own health issues right now. But if you told us a week ago, we could play Minnesota without Anthony Edwards we’d be doing fucking cartwheels.

So not long ago everybody was crying about how terrible that Spurs loss to the Nuggets was.

He had his first career triple double against us last season. I think he's only done it once since then.

MVP chants for Ayo lol

MVP chants?!?! come on man

I wonder if yesterday Blazer game was in Spurs arena, will there be MVP chants for Harper?

Giannis 2021 is probably the best case for Ant and Giannis was out ten days or so

Murray has a punchable face

Even more so than Avdija? His chipped tooth made him look even more punchable. LOL

 

[Wemby_Island]

With out favorable whistle 1st gm, MIN should have closed it today.

This team is DEEP.

Wish I could talk shit to Nuggs fans on Reddit but I'm banned from almost every nba sub for talking shit

 

[Uriel]

Nuggets can still win this series in 7, especially with DiVincenzo and potentially Edwards out.

That said, if they go on to win, the Spurs will have the easiest path to the WCF ever. A sub .500 team in Portland and a Minnesota team with injuries to its starting backcourt.

 

[Mugen]

Rudy having the series of his life tbh

 

[timtonymanu]

Ayo in a beautiful flow state that would piss everyone of us here if it was against us

Well now I know he’s capable of it if it does happen. It’s not like those Denver scrubs that were going off on us in the last regular season.

 

[CGD]

Wow Denver. Maybe the Spurs were on to something that last game after all…

 

[Ariel]

Ayo is redeeming Minnesota for the Dillingham trade much in the same way Dyson Daniels redeemed Atlanta for Dejounte. Goes to show that even when you screw up and you know it, acknowledging an error and pivoting fast goes a long way to mitigate the damage.

Not sure about that with the way they're being manhandled so far.
