Jaden McDaniels hit a layup with a couple of seconds left and no one else playing. Jokic ran halfway up the court and started a fight with him right in front of Minnesota's bench. He got Gobert on the floor so probably got him suspended Game 5 just like when Rob got Stoudemire and Diaw suspended.

Rob also got suspended for his role in that, for longer than Diaw/stoudemire

No chance they suspend Rudy tbh.

Holy f... What mayhem

We will sweep the wolves if ant is out

 

[SpurPadre]

Prob saved our ass in 2007 though tbh.

We would have found another way to beat the suns anyways, tbh.

If there's an unspoken rule not to score in that situation, isn't there also an unspoken rule not to act like a bitch when you're getting blown out?

 

[Dbreiden83080]

Yeah, but definitely? Beg to differ.

Denver is playing awful but in order for Minnesota to keep winning you’re asking for players who are not stars to suddenly play like stars. And do it consistently.

 

[Hyrup]

This series still goes 7 with Denver probably winning it tbh

 

[spursistan]

The elephant in the room people want to keep ignoring: Jokic is a shitty leader. Showed no heart himself, tbh.

 

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Yeah, with all the wolves injuries I think Denver still wins this

 

[Mugen]

Tl;dr

They need to shorten the regular season to 65 games tbh

No. That's how you enforce the unspoken rules. It's like baseball players getting steamed when players break their rules. You're supposed to man up about them.

 

[Mugen]

If McDaniels threw it off the backboard for a 360 dunk, I’d kinda get it. But that was the most boring ass layup ever tbh.

I really think they were by far the best team that year. Celtics were fake and got knocked out by Miami, iirc.

Coin-flip tbh. Amare gave us fits that series. He was their leading scorer and Diaw was a valuable bench player as well. Them not playing certainly made our lives a hell of a lot easier in that pivotal Game 5. But I like to think we still would've pulled it out as well.

 

[Hyrup]

I like it from both sides--McD talking all that shit and doing petty stuff like that layup, and Jokic/DEN getting pissed about it.

 

[BatManu20]

43 pts in 42 min off the bench. Special tbh.

That was their best shot to beat us other than 2010, tbh. But yeah the Spurs own D’Antoni coached teams, tbh.

They keep putting them in Thunder's tier but they don't have the regular season dominance or the playoffs track record to justify the billing.

All that basket meant was losing by 16 instead of 14. It's not worth starting shit over.

 

[BatManu20]

Now we need Denver to win the next 2 to push this thing to 7. Best case scenario tbh. Let these two teams wear each other out.

 

[210XSpurs]

I always thought Pop’s game plan for the Suns then was to let Amare go off but stay at home on their shooters. And he was such lazy defender that whatever he scored he gave right back.

 

[BatManu20]

Brutal series from Jokic thus far tbh. Gobert has him shook.

There won't be any suspensions . Don't be dumb
