Nothing to Avenge Here! It’s Ant Man vs. Joker & The Suicide Squad: Official Timberwolves (#3) vs. Nuggets (#2) West Semifinals Thread

[TheNig]

Is there a picture anywhere of cuh waving to the Denver fans?

 

[HabitualChiller]

To keep it a buck, I think that Minnesota beats Dalls 4-2 and gets Boston up out of there in 6 as well.

tatum has done what Ant just did 6 times

it's crazy that Ant has lapped Tatum in terms of public reception in such a short time. Tatum being this gen's duncan is unexpected

Ant just got a different level of game style wise that makes him very compelling to watch

Ant lapped Tatum -- and has become the "heir to the throne" -- mainly because he has a "I want the smoke, the fire and everything in between" mentality. It doesn't have as much as one thinks to do with his all-around/crowd-pleasing game, elite defense, etc.

He is the Rock's "Just Bring It!" taunt made flesh.

Tatum and Boston getting to the ECF 5-6 times is impressive, but it stops hitting the same when you KEEP getting that far and have no title to show for it.

To call Jayson Tatum this generation's Tim Duncan is probably disrespectful to Tim Duncan. When Duncan got there, he more often than not finished the deal.

I forgot Porter Jr was playing

That's a wild box score for Denver.

Murray in the 1st half, Jokic in the 2nd half... and virtually no one else.

Nothing you can do when 60% of your starting lineup is giving you nothing lol. But that's in part due to Minnesota's defense

Update ver. 1.1: due to the Denver Nuggets’ recent struggles notable Canadian, Jamal Murray, has been added to thecoli’s own “Canadi-L pack watch” list

Update ver. 1.2: Due to todays heartbreaking, gut wrenching, 1-point loss to the Dallas Mavericks, Shai L-Geous-Alexander has been successfully crossed off of the Official Coli Canadi-L Pack Watch (Can-nay-Dee-El) list.



Jamal Murray is now officially carrying the whole Canada on his back and the whole world is watching…Godspeed Jamal.


Update ver. 1.3: It is with a heavy heart that I now have to cross JamaL Murray off of the Official Coli Canadi-L Pack Watch list. He fought for Canada’s pride most faithfully, so much that we loved him here in America. To our Maple brehdren we offer a heavily armed shoulder, should you need emotional, support in these trying times. The Weeknd now solemnly carries your burdens forward. Stand strong knowing he takes no L’s and is beloved worldwide.

Update ver. 1.4: Thanks to @PHamm for the update. NickeL Alexander-Walker has bravely stepped into life’s great arena as a champion for Canada’s harrowing battle for its pride. Canada’s final remaining darling will meet the challenge of destiny on NBA stage this week, facing the Dallas Mavericks for his country’s soul.

During his run to the Finals they were ready to call him the next Kobe, and he had several big games during that run.

That was shot to hell when Milwaukee got them out the way after spotting them a 2-0 lead.

Now Ant-Man is on the cusp of being considered the next Jordan and folks are all mainly because he has no fear and talks shyt no matter who wants it, as opposed to his CONSIDERABLE statistical/defensive excellence.

I'm not even a Denver fan like that. I just wish people would wait until somebody did something worth crowning before actually crowning them. Win a title or a MVP, or do something folks ain't never seen before, then go from there.

Booker and Tatum are pretenders. You can look the part, average 27 a game, etc but, there's an extra something you can't teach.

Either you have it or you don't.

This fakkit Malone talks big shyt all the time

Can’t handle a standard question what a bytch

 

[AJtheOne]

No Porzingas + Pacers depth will make this series interesting

 

[Left.A1]

20 point game 7 blown lead AT HOME wow....where does this rank in terms of biggest playoff chokes

 

[Primetime]

I think him having a historically awful performance in the Finals did massive damage to his reputation and playing for a polarizing team just adds on to it even more

Yea, on one hand Tatum gets a bad rap

but at the same time, he also bag fumbled your 2022 championship in which we were all ready to recognize him, Jaylen, Ime, and that Boston team as next up.

That 2022 public support energy yall had is basically what Ant and the Wolves have right now.

Ant lapped Tatum -- and has become the "heir to the throne" mainly because he has "I want the smoke, the fire and everything in between" mentality. It doesn't have as much as one thinks to do with his all-around game, elite defense, etc.

It's literally because he is the Rock's "Just Bring It" taunt made flesh.

Yeah people act like Tim Duncan doesn't have rings....
