Just want this Minnesota-Denver series dragging as long as possible. Don't really have a preference as both are pretty tough matchups for the Spurs.

I mean I’d prefer the wolves for sure.

No doubt they are capable of beating us, but Jokic neutralizes Wembys defense like no other

But if this series goes 6-7 and we clean up Portland in 4-5, can’t complain

 

[spurraider21]

this is why nuggets wanted to avoid wolves

CIA Mitch

 

[Mugen]

Gobert and Donte were fucking nails down the stretch.

 

[timtonymanu]

Denver set themselves up to play 3 of the top 4 teams in the West in their western conference run. Timberwolves-Spurs-Thunder is insane.

 

[spursparker9]

Their fault for winning the last game of the season lol

Yea. thanks to Big Jonas and Big Roddy for feasting on our team without Vic and Korndog

 

[spurraider21]

My guy @Spurminator ranting about Gobert being overrated as he was giving jokic fits was pure comedy imho

 

[STAT88]

Gordon’s hamstrings won’t last a grueling 7 game first round series, then a tough second round series.

Nuggets fucked up more than the Spurs, no way they can stay healthy for 2 tough series going into a potential Thunder WCF series.

Dummies.

What a horrible attempt by Murray at the end too. A long two in that situation was mind boggling.

And while Tpup vs Nuggets vs Spurs are ongoing....FTA and thunders are eating popcorn and resting back to 100% Health

Don’t forget Strawther turning into prime Ray Allen

 

[bozhemoi]

It was worse than that, a long 2 down 3

Right, I meant a deep two. Don't get that shot at all.

 

[Bones]

Tmac, VC, and Melo are so bad at their jobs lmao

 

[spursistan]

Still think Denver win this series, but they're foolish for letting their backups win that final game against us.. The physical toll of this series/matchup alone will be felt down the road..Everyone was gasping for air at the end..

Their coach screwed up the tank in the game by overplaying Valaciunas when the Spurs were playing a bunch of midgets. I thought he was really trying to win the game by overplaying Valaciunas in the fourth quarter and then in the last 5 minutes he tried to throw it which was idiotic on his part.

 

[Mugen]

If the Wolves finally realize they can just murder the rim because Jokic/Gordon can’t do shit there, the Nuggs are in trouble.

No idea why Nuggets fans were so confident about this series heading into it tbh.

 

[NASpurs]

the Wolves when down by double digits are like the best team in the league tbh

No lead is safe against them especially if you go up double digits. They'll just come back on you and carry that momentum to a win.

 

[Itzsoweezee]

It’s a shame that OKC won’t have to face either of these teams.

Gobert and McDaniels absolutely shut down the nuggets. It was beautiful to watch

 

[spursparker9]

Tpup trainer better arrange all the masseurs for Antman and also put him into a hyperbaric chamber

 

[Mugen]

Prisoner of the moment but I think Minny would be the tougher matchup tbh.

They’re just absolutely nasty, physical and tough af when they’re not making retarded plays.

What were they thinking looking at almost locked on Wolves/Spurs/OKC/Celtics path to a Championship with the last three series without HCA? yeah Spurs shat the bed last game, but you could have still pushed the tank harder..

Any team with championship aspirations that can’t beat either of those teams should blow up what they’re doing. These teams are aight, but please. I watched the Spurs play teams like the Lakers, Mavs, Pistons, Thunder, Golden State and the Heat. These team ain’t squat compared to those teams.

 

[DaSlicer]

I feel either team would be a challenge for the Spurs. Jokic can somewhat neutralize Victor's defense with his center of gravity. The Wolves are very gritty physical team that never gives up and have given the Spurs problems this year in coming back from I believe in 2 games where the Spurs were up by 20. It's hard for me to pick which team I would rather want to see.

Tough, yes

Tougher, no

Spurs had a top 5 all time player in Tim Duncan along with experienced HOFers Robinson, Manu, Parker, Kawhi when they faced those teams. Victor has GOAT potential but we'll see if the other guys such as Castle, Harper can deliver like Manu, Parker, Robinson, Kawhi did.

So we’re overrated and not as good as our record? 60 win spurs teams of the past would smoke these teams.
