Haven't seen anyone talking about it like it's over after tonight's game.

I did see a lot of that after the t wolves were up 2-0 though

When it's directly attributable to a rare lineup decision in a big playoff game (all bench players vs several Nuggets starters for a couple minutes) and a literal 8 points in 20 seconds run, I think it's fair to do.

Except it never happened: The Wolves played only 8 players for the game. You probably talking about the beginning of the 2nd quarter, when Minnesota went with Conley & McDaniels + bench against Murray & MPJ + bench. Also, don't forget that the Wolves have a stronger bench with Reid. In those two minutes the teams looked pretty balanced on paper.

Also, why 8 points in 20 seconds is so remarkable? Minnesota scored 5 points in 30 seconds too in this game. The only thing that makes "8 points in 20 seconds" special is the last-second heave that went in. It happens from time to time.
 
What's really crazy about this series is..... the other team has won all their games in the opposing team's arena.

What?

Jokic scored 4 points down the stretch, and only one of those 2 baskets was against Gobert.

He also gave up the offensive rebound to him and fouled him (can't remember what happened to the FTs). But in addition to that he missed FTs himself, had the illegal screen foul and the silly push in the back of Murray when he probably would've gotten the rebound anyway.
I didn't watch that much of the game, but I felt he played well when I saw him, except for down the stretch, where he definitely did not.

They’ll have to decide between trading Gobert and KAT. That won’t be an easy decision.

Especially since the GM is pot committed now by giving the farm for Gobert.

I don't think it's that so complicated. Put both on the market and see what you can get. With their high salary, age for Rudy and the same limit again and again for KAT, not sure they hit the jackpot !
 
It's crazy that Rudy and Donovan have been off of the Jazz for two seasons now, but we (Jazzfanz) are still arguing about them.

I think they are representative of the types of players that different NBA fans value. Donovan is an electric scorer who is extremely visible and spends a lot of time with the ball in his hands. The NBA is an entertainment business and Donovan is extremely entertaining to watch. Rudy is a guy who you have to watch closely to understand his impact. He's an advanced stat darling, who number guys love because they can argue about unseen impact and feel smart.

It's the feeling of a momentum shift we've all seen in playoff series before. Doesn't mean it can't turn around but it feels like Denver is in control right now despite the series being tied.
 
I feel like Finch is losing the series somewhat. He can't have minutes where both Gobert and KAT are on the bench. Kyle Anderson isnt giving much this series, not sure he should be playing unless it's a minute here or there to get a guy rest heading into a quarter/tv timeout.

Gobert had too many turnovers and let the refs get to him. Other than that he had a fine, positive impact game. It definitely wasnt his best game, but the list of T'Wolves to blame for game 4, he is pretty far down and he was probably Minnesota's 2nd best player.

Posters like Elizah Huge and OL are really pathetic and it's embarrassing. I get OL is kind of a professional troll, but EH actually thinks of himself as being a smart basketball person, so it's incredibly sad..
